Final results of the AIO 0307 study: A controlled, randomized, double-blind phase II study of FOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI combined with sorafenib (S) versus placebo (P) in second-line metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC) treatment.
3586 Background: The oral multikinase inhibitor Sorafenib (S) inhibits angiogenesis and tumor growth in preclinical models of CRC. This study investigated the addition of S to standard 2nd line chemotherapy (CTX). Methods: Patients (pts) with mCRC and progression after first-line therapy with an oxaliplatin- or irinotecan based fluoropyrimidine containing regimen ± Bevacizumab (Bev), were randomized to receive chemotherapy (CTX) (FOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI) + S (400 mg bid) or CTX + placebo (P). 240 pts were planned to be enrolled to ensure a power of 80% if median progression-free survival (PFS) with S is increased by 2 months compared to P. Results: Between 04/09 and 10/11, 101 pts were enrolled…
