Neoadjuvant Combination Therapy of Lenvatinib and TACE for Transplant-Eligible Large Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients

"Participants will receive approximately six, 28-day cycles of lenvatinib (LENVIMA®, Eisai Inc., Woodcliff Lake, NJ). Lenvatinib will be administered at 12 mg orally once daily for patients with a body weight ≥60 kg and at 8 mg orally once daily for patients with a body weight of \<60 kg.~Administration of lenvatinib will occur at least 2 weeks before the first standard of care TACE procedure and study drug treatment will continue for 6 months. Lenvatinib will be held for 7 days before and 7 days after each TACE. Participants can receive up to 3 TACE procedures per protocol depending on their response and transplantation time."

Traditional standard of care: Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE) treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma. Chemotherapeutic drug-coated particles are inserted via a catheter into an artery that supplies blood to a tumor where the drug works to cut off blood supply to the tumor.
