Lenvatinib Combined With TACE and Camrelizumab in Conversion Resection for Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (LEN-TAC Study)

April 19, 2024 updated by: Wen Tianfu

Lenvatinib Combined With Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization and Camrelizumab Versus Lenvatinib Combined With Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization in Conversion Resection for Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma:A Randomized, Open-label, Parallel-controlled, Phase III Study(LEN-TAC Study)

Compared to systemic therapy alone, conversion therapy is promising to improve the prognosis of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Triple therapy (lenvatinib combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and camrelizumab) may have significant efficacy in conversion therapy for patients with advanced HCC, but its safety and efficacy remain unknown. To address this, we have designed a randomized, open-label, parallel-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lenvatinib combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and camrelizumab versus lenvatinib combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization in conversion resection for advanced HCC. Totally 196 patients with BCLC C stage HCC will be rigorously screened and included, and the primary endpoints of the study are overall survival. This study aims to provide valuable insights into new treatment strategies for advanced HCC.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
