Sun Yat-sen University

Status and phase: Withdrawn; Phase 3

About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib combined with PD-1 antibody compared with lenvtinib Alone in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

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 compared the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib plus PD-1 antibody and lenvatinib alone. Thus, the investigators carried out this prospective randomized control study to find out it.
