Hepatocellular Carcinoma | Drug: Orantinib (TSU-68) Drug: Placebo | Phase 3 |
This is a randomized, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trial of Orantinib administered in combination with TACE in patients with unresectable HCC.
Patients will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive TACE given in combination with either Orantinib (200 mg orally, twice per day) or placebo.
ORIENTAL:ORantinib InvEstigatioN on TAce combination triaL.

---|---|
Experimental: Orantinib |
Drug: Orantinib (TSU-68)
200 mg (1 tablet) of Orantinib was administered orally twice per day after meals, morning and evening. |
Placebo Comparator: Placebo |
Drug: Placebo
1 tablet was administered orally twice per day after meals, morning and evening. |
- Overall Survival(OS) [ Time Frame: The time from the date of enrollment to the date of death from any cause, assessed up to three years after randomizationof the last patient ]
- Time to Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE) Failure [ Time Frame: The time from the date of enrollment to the date of event for TACE discontinuation, assessed up to three years after randomizationof the last patient ]
Patients should not receive additional TACE therapy in this study after meeting any of the following conditions, at the Investigator's discretion.
- The patient develops an intra-hepatic lesion that is uncontrolled by serial TACE
- Deterioration in arterial pathways to treat HCC that makes additional TACE impossible
- Severe vascular invasion occurs that makes additional TACE impossible
- Extra hepatic spread considered relevant to life expectancy that requires another treatment modality for HCC
- Liver function at grade Child-Pugh class C lasting for 28 days
