Lenvatinib alone vs. with chemoembolization for liver cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial compares the combination of two treatments—chemoembolization (TACE) and lenvatinib—against lenvatinib alone for people with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see if the combination works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) that has not been treated yet.
- Your cancer is at an early, intermediate, or advanced stage (BCLC stages A, B, or C), but not the most advanced.
- You have at least one tumor that can be measured on scans.
- You are able to do your daily activities with little help (ECOG score 0–2).
- You do not have severe liver disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, recent heart attack, or allergy to lenvatinib.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a combination of a procedure that delivers chemotherapy directly to the liver tumor (called TACE) with an oral targeted therapy drug (lenvatinib) for people with liver cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors more effectively than TACE alone.
This study compares a stronger treatment plan (lenvatinib plus sintilimab plus TACE) against a standard plan (lenvatinib plus TACE) for advanced liver cancer. It aims to see which plan works better to control tumors and help patients live longer.
This trial tests a combination of targeted therapy (lenvatinib), immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitor), and a procedure called TACE (which delivers chemotherapy directly to the liver tumor) for people whose liver cancer has ruptured. The goal is to stop bleeding and shrink the tumor.
This trial compares two treatments for liver cancer (HCC) that has stopped responding to TACE. One group gets lenvatinib (a targeted therapy pill) plus SIRT (internal radiation beads placed in the liver), and the other gets lenvatinib alone. The goal is to see which combination works better.
This trial tests whether combining two targeted drugs (lenvatinib and tislelizumab) works better than lenvatinib alone for people with advanced liver cancer whose disease worsened after prior treatment with an immunotherapy and a blood vessel growth blocker (bevacizumab).
This Phase 3 trial compares lenvatinib plus implanted radiation seeds versus lenvatinib alone in people with liver cancer that no longer responds to TACE. It aims to improve how long patients can control the cancer inside the liver.
