Phase I Study of Sorafinib With Folfox4 as First-line Treatment in Advanced/Metastatic Gastric Cancer

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of sorafenib in combination with FOLFOX4 (oxaliplatin/leucovorin/5-fluorouracil) as first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer The design of the study incorporated a standard 3 + 3 dose escalation procedure to guide elevation of the sorafenib dosage to the next level

Detailed Description
-----------------
-Twice-daily dosing of sorafenib 200 mg in combination with FOLFOX4 proved effective and safe for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer.

Conditions
-----------------
Gastric Cancer.

Intervention / Treatment
