TACE plus PD-1 antibody
TACE alone
Patients received hepatic intra-arterial infusion with lipiodol mixed with chemotherapy drugs (EADM, lobaplatin, and MMC), and embolization with polyvinyl alcohol particles (PVA) on demand. In addition, patients received 3mg/kg PD-1 antibody intravenously every 2 weeks up to documented disease progression, development of unacceptable toxicity, participant request, or withdrawal of consent.
Patients received hepatic intra-arterial infusion with lipiodol mixed with hemotherapy drugs (EADM, lobaplatin, and MMC), and embolization with polyvinyl alcohol particles (PVA) on demand. In addition, patients received placebos intravenously every 2 weeks
