Study design details

Main study objective

The primary objective of this study is the comparison of two cohorts of hepatocellular carcinoma patients regarding overall survival (OS) from time of TACE non-eligibility. The two cohorts of special interest are defined based on the investigators’ treatment decisions (i.e. patients with early start of Sorafenib treatment vs. patients without early start of Sorafenib treatment).

Outcomes

Overall survival, Progression-free survivalTime to progressionDisease control rate (DCR)Duration of Stivarga treatmentTumor status at different visitsIncidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE)

Data analysis plan

In general, statistical analyses will be of explorative and descriptive nature. Analyses will be performed for the total study population (overall analysis) and separately for the two patient cohorts of special interest, as appropriate. The primary efficacy endpoint is Overall Survival (OS). It is defined in this study as the time period from documented TACE non-eligibility to death due to any cause. For the two cohorts of special interest, Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimates for OS will be displayed. Furthermore, these two cohorts will be compared regarding overall survival using a Cox proportional hazards model. Where applicable, the propensity score approach will be applied in order to compare the two cohorts.
