Summary

Lenvatinib is the standard of care for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of the single-arm, open-label, phase II clinical trial is to assess efficacy and safety of lenvatinib as a preoperative conversion therapy in patients with potentially resectable HCC. Investigator hypothesized that lenvatinib may be an effective conversion treatment for HCC, and preoperative treatment with lenvatinib can improve resectability in patients with potential resectable HCC and improve the long term survival.

Description

For patients with potentially resectable HCC (intermediate or advanced stage), upfront therapy with surgical resection is of high recurrence rate after surgery. The aim of the single-arm, open-label, prospective phase II clinical trial is to evaluate whether preoperative lenvatinib treatment could improve resectability and therefore improve the long term survival.

Participants who are recruited in this study in this study will be treated with lenvatinib and will be evaluated for the feasibility for surgical resection by a multidisciplinary team every 8 weeks. If the participants underwent curative resection, they will receive lenvatinib treatment for 48 weeks after surgery.
