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The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.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

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Dovitinib
Treatment: Drugs - Sorafenib

Experimental: Dovitinib + best supportive care (BSC) - Patients randomized to the dovitinib treatment arm received 500 mg of dovitinib orally on 5 days on/2 days off dosing schedule.

Active comparator: Sorafenib + BSC - Patients in the sorafenib control arm received400 mg of sorafenib (2 x 200 mg tablets) orally taken twice daily.


Treatment: Drugs: Dovitinib
Dovitinib is formulated as an oral gelatin capsule of 100 mg strength and was dosed on a flat scale of 500 mg on a 5 days on/2 days off dosing schedule. Medication labels complied withthe legal requirements of each country and were printed in the local language.

Treatment: Drugs: Sorafenib
Sorafenib is formulated as a round, oral, biconvex, red film-coated tablet that contains 200 mg of sorafenib (tosylate). Sorafenib was administered twice daily without food at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Sorafenib was supplied according to local practice.
