Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with lenvatinib and iodion-125 seeds brachytherapy (TACE-Len-I) compared with TACE combined with lenvatinib (TACE-Len) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein branch tumor thrombus (branch PVTT).

Clinical Trial Description

This is an single center, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TACE-Len-I compared with TACE-Len for the treatment of HCC with branch PVTT. 171 HCC patients with branch PVTT will be enrolled in this study. The Patients will be treated with TACE-Len-I or TACE-Len using an 2:1 randomization scheme. TACE will be performed for the patients after randomization. Lenvatinib (body weight ≥ 60 kg, 12mg P.O. QD; body weight < 60 kg, 8mg P.O. QD) will be started at 3-7 days after the first TACE and last until disease progresses, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, loss of follow-up, death, or other circumstances that require termination of treatment, whichever occurs first. For patients in the TACE-Len-I arm, iodion-125 seeds will be implanted into the PVTT (according to the pre-operative planning) under CT guidance within 14 days after the first TACE. TACE and iodion-125 seeds implantation can be repeated on demand during follow-up based on the evaluation of laboratory and imaging examination. ;
