Summary

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). Dosage regimen: Eligible subjects were randomly assigned to the experimental group or the control group in a 2:1 ratio, with surgical method (radical surgery vs ablation) as the stratification factor. The experimental group received lenvatinib treatment, and the control group received best supportive care

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial is testing whether lenvatinib (a targeted therapy drug) can reduce the chance of liver cancer coming back after surgery in patients who had a high-risk liver cancer resection. The drug is being given after surgery as "adjuvant" (preventive) therapy. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 80 years old - You had surgery to remove liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) 4 to 8 weeks before joining the study - The surgery removed the tumor completely with clear margins - The cancer had not spread to other organs at the time of surgery - Your post-surgery imaging shows no visible remaining tumor **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You had an incomplete tumor removal (positive surgical margins) - The cancer had already spread to lymph nodes or distant organs - There was tumor growth into major blood vessels at the time of surgery - You have organ function that does not meet study requirements Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
