Sorafenib is a novel oral anticancer agent targeting signal transduction and angiogenic pathways through inhibitory effects against MAP kinases and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2. The objectives of this neoadjuvant phase II-trial in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer were to assess the activity and tolerability of the combination therapy of carboplatin/paclitaxel with multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib.
