Lenvatinib: Lenvatinib will be taken within 3 days of randomization (dose: 8 mg qd for patients \<60kg, and 12 mg qd for patients ≥ 60kg)
TACE: TACE will be performed one day after oral administration of lenvatinib. Either cTACE or DEB-TACE can be used, depending on the condition of each center.
SBRT: SBRT will be given within 3 weeks after the first TACE with linear accelerator-based photon beams. Gross tumor volume is defined as intrahepatic tumor and vascular invasion including a 1-cm margin into the contiguous HCC. Prescription dose will be 4500-5000 cGy in 5-8 fractions.
Study summary
This is a phase 3, multicentri, randomised, open label study. The purpose is to investigate the safety and efficacy of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) combined with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and lenvatinib (LEN) in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombus.
