Combining Lenvatinib, TACE, and Camrelizumab for Advanced Liver Cancer Treatment

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of a combination therapy involving lenvatinib, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), and camrelizumab for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It aims to determine whether this triple therapy can improve overall survival compared to a dual therapy of lenvatinib and TACE alone. The study will enroll 196 patients with BCLC stage C HCC, who will be rigorously screened to meet specific eligibility criteria. The trial is designed as a randomized, open-label, parallel-controlled study to provide insights into new treatment strategies for advanced HCC.
