About this study
Official title: Lenvatinib Combined With Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization and Camrelizumab Versus Lenvatinib Combined With Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization in Conversion Resection for Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma:A Randomized, Open-label, Parallel-controlled, Phase III Study(LEN-TAC Study)
Compared to systemic therapy alone, conversion therapy is promising to improve the prognosis of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Triple therapy (lenvatinib combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and camrelizumab) may have significant efficacy in conversion therapy for patients with advanced HCC, but its safety and efficacy remain unknown. To address this, we have designed a randomized, open-label, parallel-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lenvatinib combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and camrelizumab versus lenvatinib combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization in conversion resection for advanced HCC. Totally 196 patients with BCLC C stage HCC will be rigorously screened and included, and the primary endpoints of the study are overall survival. This study aims to provide valuable insights into new treatment strategies for advanced HCC.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Compared to systemic therapy alone, conversion therapy is promising to improve the prognosis of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Triple therapy (lenvatinib combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and camrelizumab) may have significant efficacy in conversion therapy for patients with advanced HCC, but its safety and efficacy remain unknown. To address this, we have designed a randomized, open-label, parallel-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lenvatinib combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and camrelizumab versus lenvatinib combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization in conversion resection for advanced HCC. Totally 196 patients with BCLC C stage HCC will be rigorously screened and included, and the primary endpoints of the study are overall survival. This study aims to provide valuable insights into new treatment strategies for advanced HCC.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Lenvatinib combined with TACE and Camrelizumab in people with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Wen Tianfu at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 21 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Tianfu Wen, Professor (86-18980601471, wentianfu@scu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Overall survival (time frame: 3-year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Apr 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
