Brief Summary: RATIONALE Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor
PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with advanced soft tissue sarcomas
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the objective response rate confirmed complete and partial in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcomas treated with sorafenib Determine the 4-month progression-free survival rate in patients treated with this drug Determine the frequency and severity of adverse events in patients treated with this drug
OTHER OBJECTIVES if funding permits
Correlate preliminarily a decrease in standard uptake variable SUV of target lesions by positron-emission tomography scan at 4 weeks with response in patients treated with this drug Correlate preliminarily the phosphorylation status of KIT PDGFR VEGFR and the rafmekerk pathway with response in patients treated with this drug Correlate preliminarily the most common B-raf kinase mutation with response in patients treated with this drug
OUTLINE This is a multicenter study Patients are stratified according to histology leiomyosarcoma vs liposarcoma vs angiosarcoma hemangiosarcoma or hemangiopericytoma
Patients receive oral sorafenib twice daily on days 1-28 Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
After completion of study treatment patients are followed every 8 weeks until disease progression and then every 6 months for 2 years and annually for up to 3 years
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 45-75 patients 15-25 per stratum will be accrued for this study within 15-38 months
