What was measured

The FACT-Hep total score measures quality of life in patients with hepatobiliary cancer. Possible scores range from 0 to 180, with higher scores indicating a better outcome. Improvement in FACT-Hep total score is defined as an increase from the baseline to 6-month score of at least 5 points.

Analysis population: Eligible participants who consented to the quality of life component and had data at baseline and six months.

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.
