Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This clinical trial is exploring two different treatment combinations for people with advanced liver cancer, specifically those in the BCLC C stage of hepatocellular carcinoma. The study aims to determine which treatment is more effective when used as a first-line therapy. One group of participants receives an intravenous combination of FOLFOX, Camrelizumab, and Apatinib, while the other group receives the same drugs but through hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC). Finding the most effective treatment could significantly improve outcomes for patients with this type of liver cancer, where effective options are currently limited. Participants in this study are randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. The treatment involves either standard intravenous injection or delivering the medication directly into the liver's blood supply through HAIC. The trial assesses how well each treatment approach works by monitoring the cancer's response and progression. While the study doesn't specify particular risks or benefits, like many cancer treatments, there may be side effects associated with the drugs used. The goal is to evaluate which method offers a better chance of controlling the cancer while considering patients' safety.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details

262 patients to be enrolled

Total number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.

Treatment Study

These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.
