Arm Label

Sorafenib

Sorafenib plus TACE

Arm Description

Patients in this arm will take Sorafenib orally with the dose of 400mg bid on the third day after randomization till recurrence or the end of this trial. If any drug related adverse event occurred, the dosage will be reduced.

Patients in this arm will take Sorafenib orally with the dose of 400mg bid on the third day after randomization till recurrence or the end of this trial. TACE will be performed on the fourth day after randomization. If any drug related adverse event occurred, the dosage will be reduced.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Recurrence-free survival
Recurrence-free survival indicates the interval between randomization and tumor recurrence or death.[0-2 years] Longer RFS time indicates better prognosis.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Overall survival
Overall survival indicates the interval between randomization and death.[0-2years]Longer OS time indicates better prognosis.
Time to recurrence
Time to recurrence indicates the interval between randomization and tumor recurrence.[0-2years]Longer TTR time indicates better prognosis.
Severe adverse events
Incidence rate of severe adverse events. [0-100%]. lower rate indicates more safety of the treatment
Quality of life
Questionnaire score of EORTC-QOL. Higher score indicates better quality of life

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This trial is a multi-center, phase III, randomized (1:1) clinical trial. The aim is to explore the efficacy and safety of Sorafenib combined with transarterial chemoembolization as adjuvant treatment for resectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, compared with Sorafenib alone. The primary endpoint is recurrence-free survival. This trial planned to recruit 158 patients who received curative hepatic resection with resectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. The patients will be randomized into Sorafenib group and Sorafenib+TACE group as 1:1 ratio.
