Paclitaxel/carboplatin with or without sorafenib in the first-line treatment of patients with stage III/IV epithelial ovarian cancer: A randomized phase II study of the Sarah Cannon Research Institute.
2017
5513 Background: The combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin is the most widely used chemotherapy regimen for patients (pts) with advanced ovarian cancer, producing a median survival of approximately 36 months. Recently, the addition of bevacizumab, an angiogenesis inhibitor, has improved progression-free survival (PFS) when compared to paclitaxel/carboplatin alone. Sorafenib is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor with effects on tumor angiogenesis through inhibition of the VEGF receptor. The purpose of this randomized phase II study was to compare efficacy of paclitaxel/carboplatin with and without sorafenib. Methods: Women with histologically confirmed, maximally debulked, previously untreated stage III/IV epithelial ovarian carcinoma were randomized to receive paclitaxel 175 mg/m2and carboplatin AUC 6 (PC) or PC + sorafenib 400 mg PO BID (S). All patients received 6 cycles, given every 3 weeks; pts receiving PC+S continued single agent sorafenib for 52 weeks total. The primary endpoint was 2-year PFS rate...
