Study Arms (2)

lenvatinib

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in the lenvatinib group are given lenvatinib within 1-2 months after operation (dose: body weight \< 60 kg: 8 mg/day, body weight ≥ 60 kg 12 mg/day).

Drug: lenvatinib

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The placebo pills are made identical to the investigating lenvatinib in appearance

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

1-2 months after liver transplantation, participants are given lenvatinib with an initial dose of 8 mg (body weight \< 60 kg) or 12 mg orally once a day. The initial dose was 8 mg (body weight \< 60 kg) or 12 mg orally once a day.

Also known as: experiment
lenvatinib

1-2 months after liver transplantation, participants are given Placebo with an initial dose of 8 mg (body weight \< 60 kg) or 12 mg orally once a day. The initial dose was 8 mg (body weight \< 60 kg) or 12 mg orally once a day.

  • Targeted therapy is acceptable within 1-2 months after liver transplantation.
  • Immunosuppressive regimen consists of calcineurin inhibitor, mycophenolate mofetil and sirolimus.
  • No history of surgical resection of liver tumors and targeted drug therapy before liver transplantation.
  • Good liver, kidney and bone marrow function: serum albumin \> 28g/L, total bilirubin ≤ 3 mg/dL (51.3 umol/l), ALT and AST ≤ 5 times the upper limit of normal range; serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal range; hemoglobin \> 90 g/L, neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1.5 \* 10 \^ 9/L, platelet count \> 60 \* 10 \^ 9/L; PT-INR \< 2.3, or PT within 6 seconds over normal upper limit.
  • For fertile female patients, the serum/urine pregnancy test should be negative within 7 days before treatment.
  • All male and female participants must take reliable contraceptive measures during the trial and within four weeks after the end of the trial.
  • The participants have the capability of oral medication.
  • The participants must sign the consent form.

You may not qualify if:

  • Hepatocellular carcinoma with invasion of hepatic vein and inferior vena cava
  • Life expectancy is less than 3 months
  • The recurrence and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma are highly suspected.
  • Patients are with other malignant tumors simultaneously.
  • Patients are anaphylaxis to the inactive ingredients of lenvatinib or drugs.
  • Pregnant or lactating women (Female participants need pregnancy test within 7 days before treatment).
  • Preoperative history of severe cardiovascular disease: congestive heart failure \> NYHA grade 2; active coronary heart disease (myocardial infarction occurred within 6 months before entry into the study); severe arrhythmia requiring antiarrhythmic treatment (allowable use of beta-blockers or digoxin); uncontrolled hypertension.
  • History of HIV infection.
  • Severe clinical active infections (\> NCI-CTCAE version 3.0).
  • Epilepsy patients requires medication (e.g. steroids or antiepileptic drugs).
  • Patients with kidney diseases requires renal dialysis.
  • Drug abuse, medical symptoms, mental illness or social status that may interfere with participants'participation in research or evaluation of research results.
  • Patients who could not swallow oral drugs, such as those with severe upper gastrointestinal obstruction and need gastric tube feeding.
  • Other anti-angiogenesis therapies, surgery, TACE, local therapy and systemic chemotherapy were given before the treatment after liver transplantation.
