There is one clinical trial.
Sorafenib represents the standard care for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, molecular predictors of sorafenib efficacy have not yet been identified. The primary aim of the study is to validate the prognostic or predictive role of eNOS,Ang2, HIF-1, VEGF and VEGFR polymorphisms in relation to clinical outcome (progression-free survival, PFS) of HCC patients treated with sorafenib.
The presence of GG genotype of rs12434438 (HIF-1α) select a population with a particularly poor outcome independently from the clinical effect of the two VEGF SNPs (PFS: 2.6 months, p<0,0001; OS: 6.6 months, p<0,0001).
Description: prognostic/predictive role of eNOS,Ang2, HIF-1, VEGF and VEGFR polymorphisms in relation to Progression Free Survival
Measure: PFS Time: up to three yearsDescription: prognostic/predictive role of eNOS,Ang2, HIF-1, VEGF and VEGFR polymorphisms in relation to Overall Survival
Measure: OS Time: up to three years
