Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Key
  • Participants must have confirmed diagnosis of unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma (uHCC) with any of the following criteria:
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of uHCC
  • Clinically confirmed diagnosis of uHCC according to American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases criteria, including cirrhosis of any etiology or with chronic hepatitis B or C infection criteria
  • At least one measurable target lesion regardless if hepatic or non-hepatic according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) meeting the following criteria:
  • Hepatic lesion
  • The lesion can be accurately measured in at least one dimension as ≥1.0 centimeters (cm) (viable tumor for typical; and longest diameter for atypical), and
  • The lesion is suitable for repeat measurement,
  • Nonhepatic lesion
  • Lymph node lesion that measures at least one dimension as ≥1.5 cm in the short axis
  • Non-nodal lesion that measures ≥1.0 cm in the longest diameter Lesions previously treated with radiotherapy or locoregional therapy must show radiographic evidence of disease progression to be deemed a target lesion.
  • Participants categorized on the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer staging system to Stage B (not applicable for transarterial chemoembolization) or Stage C
  • Adequate bone marrow function, liver function, blood coagulation function, renal function, and pancreatic function as assessed by laboratory tests.
  • Adequately controlled blood pressure (BP) with up to 3 antihypertensive agents, defined as BP ≤150/90 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) at Screening and no change in antihypertensive therapy within 1 week prior to Cycle 1/Day 1
  • Child-Pugh A
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status of 0 or 1
  • Survival expectation of 12 weeks or longer before starting study drug
  • Key

Exclusion

  • Imaging findings for HCC corresponding to any of the following:
  • HCC with ≥50% liver occupation
  • Clear invasion into the bile duct
  • Portal vein invasion at the main portal branch (Vp4)
  • Participants who have received any systemic chemotherapy, including sorafenib, regorafenib or other anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy, nivolumab, or any systemic investigational anticancer agents, including lenvatinib, for advanced/uHCC.
  • Participants who have received any anticancer therapy (including surgery, percutaneous ethanol injection, radio frequency ablation, transarterial \[chemo\] embolization, hepatic intra-arterial chemotherapy, biological, immunotherapy, hormonal, or radiotherapy) or any blood enhancing treatment (including blood transfusion, blood products, or agents that stimulate blood cell production, e.g., granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) within 28 days prior to the first dose of lenvatinib study treatment.
  • Participants who have not recovered from toxicities as a result of prior anticancer therapy such as the local hepatic injection chemotherapy or any prior therapy for other cancer types.
  • Significant cardiovascular impairment within 6 months of the first dose of study drug
  • Prolongation of QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's correction (QTcF) to \>480 milliseconds (ms)
  • Gastrointestinal malabsorption or any other condition that might affect the absorption of lenvatinib in the opinion of the investigator
  • Bleeding or thrombotic disorders or use of anticoagulants such as warfarin or similar agents requiring therapeutic international normalized ratio monitoring
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding event or active hemoptysis (bright red blood of at least half teaspoon) within 28 days prior to the first dose of lenvatinib study treatment
  • Gastric or esophageal varices that require treatment
  • Active malignancy (except for HCC or definitively treated melanoma in-situ, basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in-situ of the cervix) within the past 36 months
  • Any history of or current brain or subdural metastases
  • Participants having \>1+ proteinuria on urine dipstick testing will undergo 24-hour urine collection for quantitative assessment of proteinuria. Participants with urine protein ≥1 grams/24 hour will be ineligible
  • Arterial-portal venous shunt or arterial-venous shunt preventing proper diagnosis of tumor
  • Any medical or other condition that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude the participant's participation in a clinical study
  • Known intolerance to lenvatinib or any of the excipients
  • Human immunodeficiency virus positive or active infection requiring treatment (except for hepatitis virus)
  • Any history of drug or alcohol dependency or abuse within the prior 2 years
  • Major surgery within 3 weeks prior to the first dose of lenvatinib study treatment or scheduled for surgery during the study
  • Participant has had a liver transplant
  • Females who are breastfeeding or pregnant at Screening or Baseline
  • Females of childbearing potential who within 28 days before study entry did not use a highly effective method of contraception or do not agree to use a highly effective method of contraception throughout the entire study period
