Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Experimental: Sorafenib (Nexavar, BAY43-9006) - Sorafenib, 400 mg orally, 2 tablets (200 mg each) bid (bis in die \[twice daily\]) on Study Days 2 to 19 + Paclitaxel (225 mg/m\^2 iv \[Intravenous\]) and Carboplatin (AUC \[area under the curve\] 6 iv) on Study Day 1 (21 days per cycle) for double-blind (DB) treatment.

Summary
Brief summary
The objectives of this study are to compare the anti-tumor activity as measured by Progression Free Survival (PFS) and tolerability of Sorafenib in combination with Paclitaxel and Carboplatin versus Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in combination with placebo in subjects with unresectable Stage III or Stage IV melanoma who progressed after receiving only one prior therapy containing Dacarbazine (DTIC) or Temozolomide (TMZ).
