Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall Survival Rate Between Time of Consent and Time of Death

    All subjects are to be followed from time of consent until time of death. Subjects in both arms will require either a CT scan or MRI of the abdomen every three months to monitor tumor progression. Follow up imaging with be the same modality used at baseline (CT or MRI). All subjects are to be evaluated in the liver clinic 4 weeks after treatment and then every 3 months. Subjects in the Proton arm will require a CT or MRI 4-6 weeks after treatment and then every three months. Subjects receiving Proton therapy will also be followed in the radiation medicine clinic by their treating radiation oncologist every 3 months for the first year and then every 6 months.

    Change between time of informed consent and primary completion date of study, an average of 4 years per participant

Study Arms (2)

Proton Beam Radiotherapy plus Sorafenib

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

A combination of radiation therapy (proton) to kill tumor cells as well as Sorafenib which is a study drug administered to patients to stop tumor growth.

Radiation: Proton Beam RadiotherapyDrug: Sorafenib

Sorafenib

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Sorafenib is an oral pill taken daily to inhibit tumor growth at the cellular level.

Drug: Sorafenib
