Intervention/exposure
Study type

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Lenvatinib
Treatment: Other - Pembrolizumab
Treatment: Drugs - Oral Placebo
Treatment: Drugs - IV Placebo
Treatment: Surgery - TACE

Experimental: Lenvatinib plus Pembrolizumab plus TACE - Participants will receive a combination of lenvatinib, pembrolizumab, and TACE. Lenvatinib will be administered at a dose of 12 mg (for participants with screening body weight =60 kg) or 8 mg (for participants with screening body weight \<60 kg) orally once a day during each 21-day cycle until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity (up to 2 years \[\~35 cycles\] or longer with Sponsor approval). Pembrolizumab will be administered via IV infusion at a dose of 400 mg once every 6 weeks (Q6W) for up to 2 years (\~17 doses). Participants will undergo TACE as a background procedure of chemotherapeutic and embolic agent(s).

Active comparator: Oral Placebo plus IV Placebo plus TACE - Participants will receive a combination of lenvatinib-matching oral placebo, pembrolizumab-matching IV placebo, and TACE. Lenvatinib-matching oral placebo will be administered once a day during each 21-day cycle for up to 2 years (\~35 cycles) or longer with Sponsor approval and pembrolizumab-matching IV placebo will be administered once every 6 weeks (Q6W) for up to 2 years (\~17 doses). Participants will undergo TACE as a background procedure of chemotherapeutic and embolic agent(s).


Treatment: Drugs: Lenvatinib
Administered at a dose of 12 mg (for participants with screening body weight =60 kg) or 8 mg (for participants with screening body weight \<60 kg) via oral capsules once a day during each 21-day cycle.

Treatment: Other: Pembrolizumab
Administered via IV infusion at a dose of 400 mg once every 6 weeks (Q6W).

Treatment: Drugs: Oral Placebo
Lenvatinib-matching placebo administered via oral capsules once a day during each 21-day cycle.

Treatment: Drugs: IV Placebo
Pembrolizumab-matching placebo administered via IV infusion once every 6 weeks (Q6W).

Treatment: Surgery: TACE
Conducted as a background procedure of chemotherapeutic and embolic agent(s).
