Detailed Description

This study is the clinical study of Apatinib combined with Capecitabine compared with Apatinib in the treatment of advanced non-resectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma, the object is patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma,its purpose is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Apatinib Mesylate Tablets combined with Capecitabine in the treatment of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, its main primary endpoint is TTP (time to progression) while the secondary endpoint is OS (overall survival), ORR (objective response rate), DCR (disease control rate), serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels and quality of life. 170 patients will be enrolled and 1:1 randomized into two groups: Apatinib combined Capecitabine and Apatinib alone. Major safety indicators are Vital signs, laboratory indicators, adverse events (AE), serious adverse events (SAE), drug-related AE and SAE, and specific AE (such as hypertension, proteinuria, and hand-foot syndrome), according to NCI-CTCAE.

Experimental: Apatinib Combined with Capecitabine
Apatinib,500mg,once a day, orally (after breakfast),from day 1 to day 21 (including day 21) for continuous administration, every 21 days for one cycle. If after two dose adjustments, the subject still can not tolerate toxicity, he or she should be out of group; Capecitabine,1000mg/m2,twice a day (at intervals of 12 hours,equivalent to a total daily dose of 2000 mg / m2),orally,sustained 14 days, off for 7 days, every 21 days for a cycle. If after two dose adjustments, the subject still can not tolerate toxicity, he or she should be out of group.
