A Randomized, Controlled Phase III Trial of Sorafenib With or Without cTACE in Patients With Advanced HCC

"Concurrent use of the following material/drug is defined as cTACE in this trial.~* Embolization material (e.g., gelatin sponges, porous gelatin particles, Ivalon, etc.) other than ethiodized oil~* Anti-tumor drug:~ 1. Unapproved drug/embolization material from each regulatory agency should not be used.~ 2. To chemo-embolize all arteries feeding viable lesions via super selective cTACE, which is more effective and can be recommended as it rarely causes impairment of non-cancerous liver tissues. After assessing the disappearance of tumor stain as much as possible by angiography, the cTACE procedure should be completed"
