Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib combined with PD-1 antibody for patients with intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) beyond up-to-seven criteria

Full description

Lenvatinib was non-inferior to sorafenib in overall survival in untreated advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, and PD-1 antibody was effective and tolerable in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. No study has evaluated the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib plus PD-1 antibody. Thus, the investigators carried out this prospective study to find out it.

Ages: 18 to 75 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
