Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Histologically confirmed, stage III or IV epithelial ovarian carcinoma

          2. No previous treatment with chemotherapy or radiation therapy

          3. All patients must have undergone cytoreductive surgery, with the

             following results:

               1. No residual tumor nodule > 3cm

               2. No residual tumor involvement of the bowel (ie. invasion into bowel

                  wall)

               3. No residual intestinal obstruction

          4. Measurable or evaluable disease. Patients with elevated CA-125 levels

             and/or evaluable disease per RECIST criteria are eligible.

          5. ECOG performance status 0 or 1.

          6. ANC ≥ 1500/µL, platelets ≥ 100,000/µL, hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL.

          7. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limits of normal (ULN), ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 x

             ULN (≤ 5 x ULN for patients with liver metastases)

          8. Serum creatinine _ 1.5 x ULN

          9. INR < 1.5 or a PT/PTT within normal limits. Patients receiving anticoagulation

             treatment with an agent such as warfarin or heparin may be

             allowed to participate. For patients on warfarin, the INR may be > 1.5,

             and should be measured prior to initiation of sorafenib and monitored at

             least weekly until INR is stable in the desired therapeutic range.

         10. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy

             test performed within 7 days prior to start of treatment.

         11. Patients must be able to understand the nature of this study and give

        written informed consent.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          1. Age < 18 years

          2. Active cardiac disease, including: A) congestive heart failure > class II

             NYHA , B) unstable angina or onset of angina within last 3 months, C) myocardial
             infarction within 6 months

          3. Cardiac ventricular arrhythmias requiring anti-arrhythmic therapy

          4. Patients with CNS metastases. Patients with neurological symptoms

             must undergo a CT scan/MRI of the brain to exclude brain metastasis.

          5. Uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure > 150mmHg or diastolic
             pressure > 90mmHg, despite optimal medical management

             must agree to use adequate contraception from time of study entry until

             at least 3 months after the last administration of study drug.

          8. Active clinically serious infection (> grade 2)

          9. Thrombotic or embolic events such as cerebral vascular accident

             including transient ischemic attacks within the last 6 months.

         10. Pulmonary hemorrhage/bleeding event ≥ grade 2 within 4 weeks of

             starting treatment.
