Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age greater than or equal to 18 years at the time of screening. For patients aged lesser than 20 years and enrolled in Japan, a written informed consent should be obtained from the patient and his or her legally acceptable representative. 2. Confirmed HCC based on histopathological findings from tumor tissue 3. No evidence of extrahepatic disease on baseline chest/abdomen/pelvis imaging 4. Disease not amenable to curative surgery or transplantation or curative ablation 5. Disease must be amenable to TACE and anticipated to require no more than 4 TACE treatments to treat sites of disease within a lesser than or equal to 16 week period (Permitted modalities are DEB-TACE or cTACE (using an emulsion of Lipiodol® and a permitted chemotherapeutic agent as per institutional practice, followed by embolizing agents). 6. Child-Pugh score class A to B7 7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 at enrolment 8. Patients with HBV infection, which is characterized by positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and or or hepatitis B core antibodies (anti HBcAb) with detectable HBV DNA (greater than or equal to 10 IU per ml or above the limit of detection per local lab standard), must be treated with antiviral therapy, as per institutional practice, to ensure adequate viral suppression (HBV DNA lesser than or equal to 2000 IU per mL) prior to enrollment. Patients must remain on antiviral therapy for the study duration and for 6 months after the last dose of study medication. Patients who test positive for anti hepatitis B core (HBc) with undetectable HBV DNA (lesser 10 IU per ml or under the limit of detection per local lab standard) do not require anti-viral therapy prior to enrollment. These subjects will be tested at every cycle to monitor HBV DNA levels and initiate antiviral therapy if HBV DNA is detected (greater than or equal to 10 IU per ml or above the limit of detection per local lab standard). HBV DNA detectable subjects must initiate and remain on antiviral therapy for the study duration and for 6 months after the last dose of study medication. 9. Patients with HCV infection must have management of this disease per local institutional practice throughout the study. HCV diagnosis is characterized by the presence of detectable HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) or anti HCV antibody upon enrollment. 10. At least 1 measurable intrahepatic lesion suitable for repeat assessments according to the following mRECIST criteria Liver lesions that show typical features of HCC on IV contrast enhanced CT or MRI scans, ie, hypervascularity in the arterial phase with washout in the portal or the late venous phase Viable, non-necrotic portion (arterial phase IV contrast enhancing) that can be accurately measured at baseline as greater than or equal to 10 mm in the longest diameter 11. Adequate organ and marrow function as defined below. Criteria “a, ? “b, ? “c, ? and “f ? may not be met with transfusions, infusions, or growth factor support administered within 14 days of starting the first dose. (a) Hemoglobin greater than or equal to 9.0 g per dL (b) Absolute neutrophil count greater than or equal to 1000 per µL (c) Platelet count greater than or equal to 75000 per µL (d) Total bilirubin lesser than or equal to 2.0 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) (e) alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase

Patients with granulating incisions healing by secondary intention with no evidence of facial dehiscence or infection are eligible but require wound examinations every 3 weeks. 8. History of abdominal fistula or GI perforation, non-healed gastric ulcer that is refractory to treatment, or active GI bleeding within 6 months prior to enrolment 9.

Uncontrolled hypertension defined by a systolic pressure greater than 150 mmHg or diastolic pressure greater than 90 mmHg, with or without antihypertensive medication. Patients with initial blood pressure (BP) elevations are eligible if initiation or adjustment of antihypertensive medication lowers pressure to meet entry criteria. 11. Known fibrolamellar HCC, sarcomatoid HCC, or mixed cholangiocarcinoma and HCC 12. History of hepatic encephalopathy within past 12 months or requirement for medications to prevent or control encephalopathy (no lactulose, rifaximin, etc, if used for purposes of hepatic encephalopathy) 13. Clinically meaningful ascites, defined as ascites requiring non-pharmacologic intervention (eg, paracentesis) to maintain symptomatic control, within 6 months prior to the first scheduled dose. Patients with ascites that has required pharmacologic intervention (eg, diuretics) and who have been on stable doses of diuretics for ascites for greater than or equal to 2 months are eligible. 14. Major portal vein thrombosis visible on baseline or eligibility imaging, patients with Vp3 and Vp4 are excluded 15. Patients with infiltrative type HCC 16.
