Time frame
From randomization to last follow-up: weekly during SBRT, post-SBRT/pre-sorafenib, monthly during sorafenib, and overall, from study entry: every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months. Maximum follow-up at time of analysis was 7.6 years.

What was measured

Progression (failure) is defined as any of the following events: new tumor thrombosis, progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within liver excluding tumor thrombosis status, progression of distant metastases that were present at study entry, new HCC within the liver including tumor thrombosis, and vascular thrombosis events=progression-new enhancing tumor thrombosis/progression-Increase in the volume of enhancing portion of thrombosis. Time to progression was measured from the date of randomization to the date of first failure, death (competing risk), or last follow-up (censored). Progression rates are estimated by the cumulative incidence method. The protocol specifies only that the distributions of failure times be compared between the arms, which is reported in the statistical analysis results. Two-year estimates are provided as a summary of the distributions.

Analysis population: Eligible participants

Groups in this outcome

Sorafenib Alone

400 mg sorafenib by mouth twice a day for 28-day cycle. Continue up to 5 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

SBRT Followed by Sorafenib

27.5 Gy to 50 Gy stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in 5 fractions 24-72 hours apart over 5-15 days followed within 1-5 days by one cycle of 200 mg sorafenib by mouth twice a day. Starting with second cycle, if tolerable, increase to 400 mg sorafenib by mouth twice a day. Continue up to 5 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
