Popis: 7513 Background: Based on preclinical data of additive cytotoxicity with sorafenib (S) and pemetrexed (PEM), this randomized phase II study was done to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of S plus PEM vs PEM alone, as second line treatment of non-squamous NSCLC (determined by central pathology review). Methods: A lead-in phase to determine the tolerability of S plus PEM was followed by a 1:1 randomization of either PEM 500 mg/m2 q21 days plus S 400 mg p.o. BID for 21 days (arm A) or PEM 500 mg/m2 q21 days (arm B). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). 47 patients (pts) per arm provided 82% power to detect an increase in the median PFS from 3.0 to 5.5 months (mos), with a 1-sided alpha of 0.05. Polymorphisms in VEGFA, VEGFR1-3, FPGS, GGH, SLC19A1 and TYMS were evaluated in germline DNA and correlated with outcomes. Results: One-hundred evaluable pts were randomized (49-A, 51-B). Baseline age, gender, and ECOG performance status were balanced between arms (p > 0.24). Pri...
