Participation in any clinical study or treatment with an experimental drug or experimental therapy within 28 days prior to study enrollment or during study participation 21. Patients receiving anticoagulation therapy with warfarin or phenprocoumon 22. Treatment with any of the following therapies or drugs - Any prior palliative chemotherapy, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI´s) or antiangiogenics (prior adjuvant treatment with vaccine or immunotherapy is allowed provided there is documentation of disease progression). - Any chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy or experimental or approved proteins/antibodies within four weeks prior to study enrollment or during study participation. - Radiotherapy or brachytherapy within four weeks prior to study enrollment or during study participation except to eye or bone. - Hepatic chemoembolization within four weeks prior to study enrollment or during study participation: - Major surgery within 4 weeks of study enrollment - Autologous bone marrow transplant or stem cell rescue within 4 months of study enrollment - Use of biologic response modifiers, such as G-CSF, within 3 week of study enrollment. (G-CSF and other hematopoietic growth factors may be used in the management of acute toxicity such as febrile neutropenia when clinically indicated or at the discretion of the investigator; however, they may not be substituted for a required dose reduction.) - Patie

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine progression free survival (PFS) of sorafenib versus placebo after random assignment (randomized subset only).;Primary end point(s): PFS under treatment with sorafenib versus treatment with placebo after random assignment to blinded study medication in the randomized subset (tumor assessment according to RECIST version 1.1 criteria);Secondary Objective: To compare safety and tolerability in randomization phase The following secondary objectives refer to all patients enrolled: - To determine median overall survival - To determine disease control rate (DCR) - To determine overall PFS and time to progression (TTP) - To determine response rate - To determine whether tumor markers correlate with clinical benefit and whether tumor markers in run-in phase predict clinical benefit - To determine PFS and TTP after unblinding and retreatment with sorafenib (only in subjects randomized to placebo and retreated with sorafenib) - Safety and tolerability
