A Phase III Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Double Blind Trial of Sorafenib Plus Erlotinib vs. Sorafenib Plus Placebo as First Line Systemic Treatment for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)
This is a randomized trial to evaluate the clinical benefit of sorafenib 400 mg twice daily
and erlotinib 150 mg once a day versus sorafenib 400 mg twice daily and placebo erlotinib
once daily in subjects with unresectable advanced or metastatic Child-Pugh A HCC. Patients
who are candidates for potentially curative intervention (i.e. surgical resection or local
ablation) are not eligible for this study.
