Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a multicentri prospective cohort study to investigate the safety and efficacy of external beam radiation (RT) combined with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and lenvatinib vs TACE and lenvatinib in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT).

Outcome Assessors

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

RT+TACE+Lenvatinib

Patients in RT+TACE+Lenvatinib group will take oral lenvatinib first and receive TACE one day after oral administration of lenvatinib. RT will begin within 4 weeks after the first TACE.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Lenvatinib

Intervention Type DRUG

Lenvatinib will be initially provided to patients first (dose: 8 mg qd for patients \< 60 kg, and 12 mg qd for patients ≥ 60 kg)

TACE

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

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.

External beam radiation (RT)

Intervention Type RADIATION

RT will be given within 4 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 4500-6000 cGy in 25 fractions.

TACE+Lenvatinib

Patients in TACE+Lenvatinib group will take oral lenvatinib first and receive TACE one day after oral administration of lenvatinib.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Lenvatinib

Intervention Type DRUG

Lenvatinib will be initially provided to patients first (dose: 8 mg qd for patients \< 60 kg, and 12 mg qd for patients ≥ 60 kg)

TACE

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

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.
