Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression-free Survival (PFS) Assessed by the Independent Review Panel According to Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1
From randomization of the first participant until approximately 3 years or until disease radiological progression

PFS was defined as the time from date of randomization to disease progression, radiological or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST version 1.1, progressive disease was determined when there was at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of the target lesions, taking as a reference the smallest sum on study (this included the baseline sum if that was the smallest sum on trial). In addition to a relative increase of 20%, the sum had demonstrated an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Appearance of new lesions and unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions was also interpreted as progressive disease. Participants without progression or death at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of evaluable tumor evaluation. Median and other 95% confidence intervals (CIs) computed using Kaplan-Meier estimates.

Overall Survival
From randomization of the first patient until 34 months or date of death of any cause whichever came first

Overall Survival (OS) was defined as the time from date of randomization to death due to any cause.

Recurrence Free Survival (RFS) by Independent Assessment
From randomization up to 4 years or until disease recurrence whichever came first

Disease recurrence of HCC (intra or extra hepatic) was defined as the appearance of a new intrahepatic lesions fulfilling the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) criteria of diagnosis of HCC or a new extra-hepatic lesions according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria version 1.0. In addition to investigator assessment, all images were reviewed by an independent panel of radiologists. The calculation of the RFS was based on the independent evaluation of the scans. RFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease recurrence by independent radiological assessment or death due to any cause whichever occurred first. For subjects who had not recurred or died at the time of analysis, RFS was censored at their last date of evaluable scan before drop-out for any other reason than recurrence or death.

Overall Survival (OS) in the ITT (Non-squamous) Population
from randomization of the first patient until 38 months or date of death of any cause whichever came first

Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from date of randomization to death due to any cause. Patients still alive at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of last contact.

Time to Progression (TTP)
From randomization of the first subject until radiological progression or recurrence whichever came first, assessed up to 39 months.

Time to progression (TTP) was defined as the time from date of randomization to radiological progression / recurrence. Subjects without progression at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of tumor evaluation.

Pharmacokinetics Measured as Area Under Curve (AUC[0-12h])
12 hours after at least 21 days of uninterrupted dosing

The AUC(0-12h) was the observed AUC, calculated using a combination of linear and log trapezoidal rules, from pre-dose to 12 hours post-dose. The normalized AUC (AUC norm) is AUC (0-12h) divided by (dose \[mg\]/weight \[kg\]).

Pharmacokinetics Measured as Concentration (Cmax at Tmax and Cmin at Tmin)
12 hours after at least 21 days of uninterrupted dosing

Cmax (maximum concentration) was measured at the time point at which the maximum concentration (Tmax) was observed. Cmin (minimum concentration) was measured at the time point at which the minimum concentration (Tmin) was observed.

Pharmacokinetics Measured as Concentration (Cmax Normalized at Tmax and Cmin Normalized at Tmin)
12 hours after at least 21 days of uninterrupted dosing

Cmax (maximum concentration) was measured at the time point at which the maximum concentration (Tmax) was observed. Cmin (minimum concentration) was measured at the time point at which the minimum concentration (Tmin) was observed. The normalized variables (Cmax norm and Cmin norm) are the variables (Cmax and Cmin, see Primary Outcome Measure 2) divided by \[dose (mg)/weight (kg)\].

Phase 1 - Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Sorafenib Administered With Cetuximab (400 mg/m2 Loading Dose Followed by 250 mg/m2 Weekly)
Cycle 1 (28 Days)

The MTD is based upon dose-limiting (DLTs) experienced during Cycle 1 of treatment. The MTD is the maximum dose level at which 0/6 or 1/6 patients experience DLT. Using Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse EVents (CTCAE) version 3.0, DLTs are defined as any Grade 4 hematologic toxicity, or Grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicity. A DLT will not be considered to have occurred in the case of a grade 3 or 4 allergic reaction due to cetuximab.

Tumor Control Rate
1 year

The proportion of patients for whom the best overall response is complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD). A CR occurs when all lesions disappear; whereas, a PR is indicated when there is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters (LD) of the target lesion. A PD (progressive disease) occurs when there is at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD relative to the smallest sum LD recorded since treatment is initiated. Disease is considered stable if there is no response and no PD. If follow-up assessments are not available, the best overall response is unevaluable.

The dose the participant will be given will depend on the number of participants who have been enrolled in the study. * Each treatment cycle lasts 28 days. Participants will take RAD001 orally once a day in the morning. Participants will take sorafenib orally twice daily. * Participants will remain on this research study as long as they continue to benefit from the study medications.

Erlotinib/SorafenibEXPERIMENTALPatients will receive erlotinib 150 mg once daily by mouth and sorafenib 400 mg twice daily by mouth. The study will begin with a 2-week run-in period (which will begin on Day 14 of the study, and continue through Day 1 of the study), in which erlotinib will be dosed alone at 150 mg once daily. Patients will continue taking erlotinib as a single agent at 150 mg once daily through Day 1. After the 2-week run-in period, patients will receive continuous dosing of both agents (erlotinib 150 mg once daily and sorafenib 400 mg twice daily) in cycles of 28 days each. Toxicity will be assessed every cycle (every 4 weeks) for all patients. Because this is not an efficacy study, restaging tumor measurements will be at the discretion of the physician every 8 weeks during treatment. Patients with objective response or stable disease will continue therapy; patients with disease progression or unacceptable toxicity will be discontinued from the study.
