|---|---|
| Main Objective: progression free survival (PFS) between subjects treated with sorafenib in combination paclitaxel and carboplatin compared versus historic patient collective;Secondary Objective: • Evaluation of overall survival (OS) • Evaluation of Time to treatment failure (TTF) • Evaluation of response rates and duration of response • Evaluation of six and twelve month relapse rate post chemotherapy • Evaluation of quality of life (EORTC-QLQC30 / QLQ-OV28) • Evaluation of toxicity, safety and tolerability • Evaluation of tumor mass post surgery • Evaluation of ascites reduction pre surgery • Evaluation of biomarker (histological and peripheral) • Evaluation of tumor cell RNA expression, proteomic pattern • Evaluation of mineral metabolism;Primary end point(s): progression free survival (PFS) | — |
