  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Lenvatinib + TACE
Patients in Lenvatinib + TACE group will take oral lenvatinib within 3 days of randomization and receive TACE 1 day after oral administration of lenvatinib.
TACE will be performed one day after oral administration of lenvatinib. TACE with either cTACE or DEB-TACE can be used, depending on the condition of each center.
Lenvatinib will be taken within 3 days of randomization (dose: 8 mg qd for patients <60kg, and 12 mg qd for patients >60kg)
Active Comparator: Lenvatinib
Lenvatinib alone
Lenvatinib will be taken within 3 days of randomization (dose: 8 mg qd for patients <60kg, and 12 mg qd for patients >60kg)
