Study arms

  • Experimental
    TACE Combined with Lenvatinib

    Drug: Lenvatinib · Procedure: TACE

Interventions

  • DrugLenvatinib

    Intervention Description:lenvatinib will be administered daily (for patients \<60kg, lenvatinib 8mg bid po for patients ≥60kg, lenvatinib 12mg bid po) until documented disease progression, development of unacceptable toxicity, participant request, or withdrawal of consent.

    Also known as: Lenvatinib treatment

  • ProcedureTACE

    Patients will be treated with TACE 2-4 weeks after randomization: the blood supply of the tumor will be evaluated by transradial / femoral artery approach, microcatheter will be inserted into the tumor feeding artery, and lipiodol plus epirubicin emulsifier will be injected (40mg epirubicin will be added to each 10ml lipiodol, the total amount should less than 20ml, epirubicin 40-60mg). Gelatin sponge particles / microspheres are used to strengthen embolization. Blood biochemical examination will be performed within 1 week before TACE, 3 days after operation and 1 month after operation.

    Also known as: Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization
