Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate if progression -free survival from randomization to progression or death during second -line therapy (total PFS) of sorafenib followed by pazopanib ist non-inferior compared to pazopanib followed by sorafenib;Secondary Objective: 1. Time from randomization to progression during second-line therapy (total TTP) 2. Time to first-line treatment failure (progression, death, discontinuation due to toxicity) descriptively in each arm. 3. PFS in first-line and second-line treatment, descriptively 4. Overall survival, descriptively (data cut-off same as for primary endpoint) 5. Disease Control Rate (DCR); Response rates in first-line and in second-line (CR, PR, SD according to RECIST criteria) 6. Health-related Quality of Life (FACT-F, FKSI-10) 7. Safety and tolerability;Primary end point(s): To evaluate if progression -free survival from randomization to progression or death during second -line therapy (total PFS) of sorafenib followed by pazopanib ist non-inferior compared to pazopanib followed by sorafenib;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: No interim analyses are planned. The final analyses will take place once all patients have terminated trial therapy. This is planned for Q4 2016.
