Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of patients who have prolonged survival
Time Frame: 24 weeks
To study the number of participants who have prolonged survival in months after receiving Oncoxin plus Surafenib for 24 weeks
24 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Reduction in serum alpha-fetoprotein level and decrease in tumor size
Time Frame: 24 weeks
To see whether Oncoxin plus Surafenib results in reduction in serum alpha-fetoprotein level in ng/ml and decrease in tumor size in mm in hepatocellular carcinoma patients off treatment for 24 weeks, after receiving Oncoxin plus Surafenib for 24 weeks.
