- Plasma concentration of sorafenib(Cycle 2 Day 1)
- Overall survival (OS)(Baseline to death by any reason)
- Maximum percentage change of calcitonin and Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) values from baseline(Baseline and every 56 days up to progressive disease)
- Response rate (RR)(Baseline and every 56 days up to progressive disease)
- Disease control rate (DCR)(Baseline and every 56 days up to progressive disease)
