| Main Objective: To compare the Overall Survival (OS) of HCC patients who receive brivanib as adjuvant treatments to TACE therapy, with the OS of HCC patients who receive matched placebo with TACE therapy.;Secondary Objective: • To compare the Time-To-Disease Progression (TTDP) of patients receiving brivanib with TACE therapy to that of patients receiving placebo with TACE therapy. • To compare the time to extrahepatic spread or vascular invasion in the brivanib and placebo arms. • To determine the total number of TACE sessions in the brivanib and placebo arms. • To compare the rate of TACE sessions in the brivanib and placebo arms. • To compare the Time-to-Progression (tumor) after the first TACE session in the brivanib and placebo arms. • To evaluate the safety of brivanib in combination with TACE.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of the study is Overall Survival (OS). OS will be defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death. If the patient is lost to follow-up, survival will be censored on the last date the patient was known to be alive. | — |
