Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Arm 1. DEB TACE   Patient randomized to DEB TACE arm will receive 3 cycles of DEB TACE. This will involve catheterization of the feeding vessels and injecting 100 mg of doxorubicin drug eluting beads. DEBTACE will be repeated after 4-6-weeks.Sorafenib will be omitted on the day of TACE and will be reinitiated 3-5 days after the TACE procedure 
Comparator Agent  Arm 2. DEB TACE/SBRT   Patient randomized to the DEB TACE/SBRT arm will undergo 3 cycles of TACE and will concurrently receive sorafenib as in standard arm. SBRT will be initiated 4-6 weeks after last TACE procedure. During this period patients will stop sorafenib. SBRT once initiated will continue for 2-2.5 weeks. Sorafenib will be reinitiated 4 weeks after SBRT completion and will continue to be administered till progression or 12 months whichever is earlier.

Brief Summary  

This is a Phase II/III Randomized controlled trial of drug eluting beads based transarterial chemotherapy (TACE) and sorafenib with or without stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in patients with nonmetastatic unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (TACS-RT)among 386 liver cancer patients.

The primary aim of the study is

      1 To compare overall survival OAS in control TACE  and intervention arm TACE plus  SBRT

The secondary  aims of the trial is

1      To compare cause specific survival in control and intervention.

2      To evaluate functional imaging (MRI& PET) characteristics predictive of therapeutic response and overall survival in patients with HCC.

3      To compare quality of life (QOL) in control and intervention arm.
