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 angiosarcoma that is locally advanced metastatic or unable to be removed by surgery
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Primary
Determine the rate of non-progression at 9 months in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic angiosarcoma treated with sorafenib tosylate
Secondary
Determine the rate of non-progression at 60 120 and 180 days Determine the median time to progression Determine overall survival Determine the best response rate Determine the clinical and biological factors that predict clinical benefit Evaluate tolerability by NCI CTCAE v30 Correlate efficacy with plasma expression of genes implicated in controlling angiogenesis Explore the tumor expression of these genes in tissue from a tumor bank
OUTLINE This is a multicenter study
Patients are stratified according to disease type cutaneous angiosarcoma scalp breast or soft tissue vs visceral angiosarcoma All patients receive oral sorafenib tosylate twice daily for 9 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
