Inclusion Criteria: * Clinical diagnosis of HB\* and histologically defined diagnosis of HB or HCC. \*Histological confirmation of HB is required except in emergency situations where: * a) the patient meets all other eligibility criteria, but is too ill to undergo a biopsy safely, the patient may be enrolled without a biopsy. * b) there is anatomic or mechanical compromise of critical organ function by tumour (e.g., respiratory distress/failure, abdominal compartment syndrome, urinary obstruction, etc.) * c) Uncorrectable coagulopathy * Age ≤30 years * Written informed consent for trial entry Exclusion Criteria: * Any previous chemotherapy or currently receiving anti-cancer agents * Recurrent disease * Previously received a solid organ transplant; other than orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). * Uncontrolled infection * Unable to follow or comply with the protocol for any reason * Second malignancy * Pregnant or breastfeeding women

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Event-free survival (EFS) — From date of randomisation (or registration into the trial for non-randomised patients), until date of first failure event, assessed up to 6 years.
    Event-free survival (EFS) is defined as the time from randomisation (or registration into the trial for non-randomised patients) to first failure event. Patients who have not had an event will be censored at their last follow-up date. Failure events are: * progression of existing disease or occurrence of disease at new sites, * death from any cause prior to disease progression, * diagnosis of a second malignant neoplasm.
  • Response in HCC is defined as complete (CR) or partial (PR) response according to RECIST version 1.1 criteria — From date of screening assessment until date of first response assessment, up to 63 days in Group F
    Response in HCC is defined as complete (CR) or partial (PR) response according to RECIST version 1.1 criteria. The assessment will be performed after 3 cycles of PLADO, or 4 cycles of PLADO+S/GEMOX+S in Group F. Patients who are not assessable for response - e.g. because of early stopping of treatment or death - will be assumed to be non-responders.
