Study in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated With Pemetrexed and Carboplatin Plus or Minus Sorafenib
A Randomized (PhaseII), Double-Blind, Multicenter Phase I/II Trial of Pemetrexed, Carboplatin Plus or Minus Sorafenib in the First-Line Treatment of Patients With Stage IIIb or IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The majority of patients with advanced NSCLC treated with standard platinum based chemotherapy regimens ultimately develop disease progression. Active therapies with improved toxicity profiles are clearly needed in this setting. The primary objective of this trial is to assess the toxicity profile and to determine the effect on progression free survival and time to progression in patients with advanced NSCLC treated with sorafenib in addition to carboplatin and pemetrexed.

  • No prior systemic chemotherapy
  • Prior local radiotherapy is allowed if it is completed at least 3 weeks prior to the first dose of study medication; also concomitant palliative radiotherapy to an existing bone lesion for pain control is allowed
  • Prior surgery is allowed if it is performed at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study medication and patient should be fully recovered.

  • Recent (within 30 days of enrolment) or concurrent yellow fever vaccination
