Sorafenib Alone Versus Sorafenib Combined With HAIC for Advanced HCC

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Interventions
Procedure: Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy
Drug: Folfox Protocol
Registration Number
NCT02774187
Lead Sponsor
Sun Yat-sen University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sorafenib combined with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) compared with sorafenib Alone in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with major portal venous tumor thrombus (PVTT).

Detailed Description

The results of our preliminary pilot study suggested that sorafenib combined with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) may improve the survivals for advanced stage HCC. Thus, the investigators carried out this prospective randomized control study to find out it.
