Tests treatment safety and results for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)
Official title Clinical Study on the Effectiveness and Safety of Lenvatinib As Adjuvant Treatment for Patients with High-risk Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Surgery
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06762782
What this study is testing
What is Postoperative adjuvant lenvatinib?
Postoperative adjuvant lenvatinib is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc).
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This study is a prospective, randomized, controlled, open, phase II, multicenter clinical study, which aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib for adjuvant treatment of high-risk recurrent liver cancer after radical surgery. This study is divided into 3 stages: screening period (screening period 28 days), treatment period (up to 12 months, or until any of the following occurs, whichever occurs first: ① The subject has an intolerable toxic reaction and is still not relieved after dose adjustment; ② The subject's first imaging confirmed disease recurrence or withdrew from the study for other reasons), and follow-up period (12 months after the end of treatment).
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
