The recurrence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after curative surgery is high and the survival benefit is limited. Neoadjuvant therapy, by targeting the disseminated tumor cells before curative surgery, may lower the incidence of tumor recurrence. In KEYNOTE-524 study, lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab combination showed promising efficacy and manageable toxicity. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab as a neoadjuvant therapy in subjects with resectable HCC.
This is an open-label, multi-center, single-arm, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab as a neoadjuvant therapy in subjects with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
