All Genders

Phase:
PHASE1
Brief Summary
This randomized phase I trial is studying the side effects, such as high blood pressure, and best dose of sorafenib in treating patients with advanced solid tumors. Sorafenib may stop the growth of tu...
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether increasing the dose of sorafenib tosylate increases the plasma steady-state concentration in patients with advanced solid tumors. II. Determine whether incre...
