Please select the eligibility criteria that correspond to the clinical trial below.
Title: A Phase II Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study of Sorafenib or Placebo in Combination With Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) Performed With DC Bead and Doxorubicin for Intermediate Stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).
Brief Summary: This study will look at whether our drug (sorafenib) in combination with chemotherapy delivered directly into your tumor using beads (DC Bead) will slow the progression of the disease. The beads used with the chemotherapy will slowly release the chemotherapy reducing the adverse effects that normally occur with chemotherapy.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Unresectable, multinodular asymptomatic tumor without vascular invasion or extrahepatic spread
* Confirmed Diagnosis of HCC:
* Cirrhotic subjects: Clinical diagnosis by American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) criteria
* HCC can be defined in cirrhotic subjects by one imaging technique (Computed tomography \[CT\] scan, Magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\], or second generation contrast ultrasound) showing a nodule larger than 2 cm with contrast uptake in the arterial phase and washout in venous or late phases or two imaging techniques showing this radiological behavior for nodules of 1-2 cm in diameter.
* Cytohistological confirmation is required for subjects who do not fulfill these eligibility criteria.
* Non-cirrhotic subjects:

For subjects without cirrhosis, histological or cytological confirmation is mandatory

* Documentation of original biopsy for diagnosis is acceptable
* Child Pugh class A without ascites
* Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function as assessed by central lab by means of the following laboratory requirements from samples within 7 days prior to randomization:

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients on a liver transplantation list or with advanced liver disease as defined below:
* Child Pugh B and C
* Active gastrointestinal bleeding
* Encephalopathy
* Ascites
* Lesions having previously been treated with local therapy such as resection of HCC, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) or cryoablation can not be selected as the target lesions.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Written informed consent.
* The diagnosis HCC is confirmed by typical appearance on imaging or cytohistological evaluation (liver biopsy).
* Accurate staging:

MRI of the liver CT-scan of the abdomen and thorax bone scintigraphy, only in case of clinical symptoms suggestive of skeletal metastases.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Hypersensitivity to doxorubicin
* Pregnancy or breastfeeding
* Age under 18 years
* Child-Pugh score \>B7
* ECOG performance status (PST) \> 1
* Bilirubin \> 2.6 mg/dl
* AST/ALT \>5x upper limit of normal (ULN)
* \>50% of liver involvement
* Main portal vein (right, left or common trunk) thrombosis
* Extra-hepatic disease
* Previous treatment of study target lesions
* 99mTc-labelled macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) scintigraphy shows lack of MAA uptake in tumor (photopenic lesion)
* Activity \> 610 MBq and activity reduction would imply a liver target dose \> 80 Gy
* patients who are declared incompetent or suffering from physic disorders that make a comprehensive judgement impossible, such as psychosis.
* Unmanageable intolerance for contrast medium
* Life expectancy \< 3 months or otherwise impossible follow-up
* Inadequate bone marrow, liver and/or renal function
* other contraindications to hepatic embolization procedures.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

Eligibility criteria were:

1. Not indicated for resection,
2. Liver function of Child-Pugh class A or B,
3. 3 or fewer lesion, each 3 cm greater and 7.5 cm less in greatest diameter,
4. No portal vein involvement or extrahepatic metastasis,
5. Lesions located at least 5mm away from the hepatic hilum or gall bladder and the common bile duct,
6. Platelet count≥6.0×103/mm3 and the prothrombin activity≥60%, and
7. No previous HCC treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

Exclusion criteria were:

1. Encephalopathy,
2. Refractory ascites,
3. Active gastrointestinal bleeding,
4. Renal failure.
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Ages eligible for study: 18 years and above, Genders eligible for study: both
* Patients who have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks
* Patients with histologically or cytologically documented Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)
* Patients must have at least one tumor lesion that meets both of the following criteria: (1) Accurately measured in at least one dimension according to RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) (2) Not previously treated with local therapy
* Patients who have an ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) PS (Performance Status) of 0, 1, or 2

Exclusion Criteria:

* Previous or concurrent cancer that is distinct in primary site or histology from HCC, EXCEPT cervical carcinoma in situ, treated basal cell carcinoma, superficial bladder tumors (Ta \[Noninvasive papillary carcinoma\], Tis \[Carcinoma in situ: "flat tumor"\] \& T1 \[Tumor invades subepithelial connective tissue\]). Any cancer curatively treated \> 3 years prior to entry is permitted
* Renal failure requiring hemo- or peritoneal dialysis
* History of cardiac disease
* Active clinically serious infections
* Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
* Known central nervous system tumors including metastatic brain disease
* Patients with clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding within 30 days prior to study entry
