Have a predicted life expectancy of >3 months; 6. Have at least one measurable lesion based on RECIST 1.1 as confirmed by the blinded central imaging vendor; 7. Have a performance status of 0 or 1 using the ECOG Performance Scale within 7 days of first dose of study drug. 8. HbsAg positive.

Adequately controlled blood pressure (BP) with or without antihypertensive medications, defined as BP 150/90 mmHg at baseline screening.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Imaging findings for HCC corresponding to any of the following: HCC with >=50% liver occupation, portal vein invasion with Vp4; 2. Prior local or systemic treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, including resection, TACE, ablation, targeting and immune therapy; 3. Gastrointestinal malabsorption, gastrointestinal anastomosis, or any other condition that might affect the absorption of Lenvatinib; 4. New York Heart Association congestive heart failure of grade II or above, unstable angina, myocardial infarction within the past 6 months, or serious cardiac arrhythmia associated with significant cardiovascular impairment within the past 6 months; 5.

Has dual active HBV infection (HBsAg (+) and /or detectable HBV DNA) and HCV infection (anti-HCV Ab(+) and detectable HCV RNA) at study entry; 11. Subjects with CNS metastases are not eligible; 12. Subject is known to be positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV); 13. History of clinically significant hepatic encephalopathy; 14. Serious nonhealing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture; 15. History of solid organ or hematologic transplant; 16.

Any medical or other condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in a clinical trial; 18. Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. The use of physiologic doses of corticosteroids (up to 7.5 mg/d of prednisone or equivalent) is allowed; 19. Active infection (any infection requiring systemic treatment); 20. Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years (ie, with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs); 21. Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or current pneumonitis, or has a history of interstitial lung disease; 22. Has received a live-virus vaccination within 30 days of planned treatment start; 23. Has severe hypersensitivity (>=Grade 3) to the study drug.
