The initial dose of sorafenib is 400mg BID and the drug therapy will last till outcome events happen or the trial ends. TACE will start one day following oral sorafenib. Either conventional TACE (cTACE) or drug-eluting beads TACE (dTACE) is optional. TACE will be performed via injecting chemotherapy drugs (doxorubicin 50mg for cTACE or 75mg for dTACE) and embolizing agents (gelatin sponge for cTACE or microsphere for dTACE) into blood vessels that help tumor grow.
