Study Arms (1)
Capecitabine + Peginterferon alfa-2a
EXPERIMENTALTreatment-naive participants with advanced liver cancer will receive combination treatment with capecitabine (1000 milligrams per meter-squared \[mg/m\^2\] twice daily orally on Days 1 to 14 of each 21-day cycle) and peginterferon alfa-2a (180 micrograms (mcg) subcutaneous \[SC\] every week during each 21-day cycle) until at least 6 cycles (18 weeks) or disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or consent withdrawal.
Interventions
Participants will receive oral capecitabine, 1000 mg/m\^2 twice daily on Days 1 to 14 of each 21-day cycle, for at least 6 cycles (18 weeks). Treatment may continue until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or consent withdrawal.
Participants will receive SC peginterferon alfa-2a, 180 mcg every week during each 21-day cycle, for at least 6 cycles (18 weeks). Treatment may continue until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or consent withdrawal.
