OBJECTIVETo explore the long-term efficacy and safety of sorafenib in Japanese patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in a phase II trial.PATIENTS AND METHODSIn all, 131 Japanese patients with metastatic RCC who had received nephrectomy and failed at least one cytokine-containing systemic therapy received continuous sorafenib 400 mg twice daily, and the efficacy and safety parameters were evaluated in these patients, including objective response rate, progression-free survival and overall survival.RESULTSOf the total, 129 patients were valid for intention-to-treat analyses and 131 patients were valid for safety analyses.Twenty-five patients (19.4%) had confirmed partial response and 87 patients (67.4%) had stable disease as best overall response. The 25 patients included six late-responders who achieved response after 9.2 months or longer of stable disease. The objective response rate and disease control rate were 19.4% and 73.6%, respectively.The median overall survival and median progression-free survival were 25.3 and 7.9 months, respectively.Safety profile was consistent with those previously reported, with hand-foot skin reaction (58.0%), lipase elevation (57.3%) and diarrhoea (42.7%) as the most frequently observed drug-related adverse events. Neither unknown adverse event nor cumulative toxicity was observed over the long-term use of sorafenib.Despite the dose discontinuation/interruption/ reduction, the mean and median relative dose intensities were 86.4% and 97.4%, respectively.CONCLUSIONThe final results of this trial showed that long-term use of sorafenib after cytokine treatment was well tolerated and provided new efficacy data, including late-response events and favourable overall survival in Japanese patients with metastatic RCC.
