| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of sorafenib in HCC patients with HIV receiving PI-based HAART regimens.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint is Time to Progression (TTP). TTP will be evaluated according to mRECIST criteria(95) in all patients treated in Step A and Step B.;Secondary Objective: To assess: STEP A and STEP B: • Overall Survival • OS rate at 6 months • Evaluation of Response Rate (RR) • Evaluation of impact on HIV infection (HIV-RNA viral load, CD4-CD8 counts) • Evaluation of Quality of life (FACT-Hep) • Evaluation of the role of innate immunity (receptors of NK and TNK cells) and adaptive immunity (interferon-class I and immuno-complexes) in relationship to clinical response and HCV viral load in HCV co-infected patients. • Evaluation of serum proteomic profile and 2D-DIGE approaches in relationship to drug toxicity and clinical response | — |
