Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Only patients who meet all the following criteria are included in the study:

1) Age≥18years, no gender restriction; 2) Advanced or metastatic HCC patients in strict compliance with the "Primary Liver Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Standard" (2017 Edition) issued by the National Health and Family Planning Commission, clinical diagnostic criteria and/or diagnosed by pathology /cytology, patients who fail to undergo liver surgery and/or other local treatment (ablation or hepatic artery intervention), or patients who have recurrence and progression after surgery and/or other local treatment; 3) Not previously accepted first-line system therapy (systemic chemotherapy, molecular targeting, immunotherapy and research medication, etc.) for advanced or metastatic HCC, including but not limited to systematic chemotherapy with oxaliplatin, sorafenib, PD-1/PD-L1 antibody, Icaritin and cinobufotalin, etc.; 4) Liver surgery was performed more than 3 months ago, ablation or interventional treatment of hepatic artery was performed more than 4 weeks ago, and the adverse reactions returned to normal; After surgery or other local treatment, if patients have gone beyond the norm for systemic adjuvant chemotherapy, it will need more than 6 months after the chemotherapy, and disease progression and / or metastasis have occurred; 5) For patients who are not suitable for first-line treatment of advanced HCC which is recommended in "Primary Liver Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Standard." issued by the National Health and Family Planning Commission, it's mainly due to partial blood test indicators (See the relaxed scope in 11th inclusion criteria ) or other indicators (Including mild ascites and so on) which are not suitable for the existing first-line standard treatment; Or in particular cases, the patients insist on refusing to accept the existing first-line standard treatment(For example, patients feel that their physical condition is weak and / or economic constraints, which must be strictly mastered and controlled); 6) 2 weeks before the first medication of the trial, there is no use of modern Chinese medicine preparation with liver cancer indication, including Delisheng injection, Kanglaite injection or soft capsule, Aidi injection or Considi injection, elemene injection/oral liquid, 1) 7) no use of blood transfusion or blood products, no use of hematopoietic stimulating factor, no transfusion of albumin or blood products 14 days before screening; 8) According to the evaluation criteria of solid tumor reaction (RECIST 1.1), it has at least one measurable target lesion, which defined as non-lymph node lesions with the longest diameter larger than 10mm, lymph node lesions with the short diameter larger than 15mm; the lesions previously received local treatment such as ablation or hepatic artery interventional therapy should be detected by computed tomography (CT) / magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and according to RECIST1.1, It's sure that disease progression has occurred and the longest diameter is more than 1.0cm,it can be used as a measurable target lesions; 9) The Child-Pugh score of liver function is grade A or better grade B (score≤7); 10) The ECOG score of physical condition is 0-1; 11) Expected survival time≥12 weeks; 12) The function of the main organs is basically normal and meets the following requirements:

①Marrow: There is no blood transfusion and use of hematopoietic cell stimulating agent, including granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)within 14 days before screening, platelet≥60×10E9/L, hemoglobin≥ 85g/L, white blood cell≥3.0×10E9/L; After a thorough measurement of the patient's condition, the above three items can be appropriately relaxed by the principal researchers at the research centre as: platelet 50 ~60×10E9/L, hemoglobin 80~85g/L, white blood cell 2.5 ~3.0×10E9/L (contains critical values);

②Liver: Total bilirubin≤1.5 times of the upper limit of normal(ULN), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)≤5 × ULN; albumin≥ 28g/L;

④ Kidney: Serum creatinine≤ 1.5 x ULN, or creatinine clearance rate≥ 50ml/min; 13) If HBV-DNA≥104 copies/ml(2000IU/ml), antiviral therapy must be done first, the patient can be included in the group until HBV-DNA<104 copies /ml(2000IU/ml); and continue to take antiviral drugs, monitor liver function and hepatitis B virus load; 14) Women of childbearing age must receive pregnancy tests 14 days before treatment and the results are negative; Men of childbearing age need effective contraception during treatment and within 3 months after treatment; 15) Patients are volunteered to join the study, sign the informed consent, have good compliance and cooperate with follow-up; 16) The subjects do not participate in other clinical trials within 4 weeks before screening; If the subject fails in other test screening, but meets the requirements of this test, then can be enrolled.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients who meet any of the following criteria are not allowed to enter the test:

Imaging examination shows that HCC liver tumors are huge (≥60% of the liver volume), or cancer embolus of portal trunk (occupying ≥50% of the vascular diameter), or cancer embolus invading mesenteric vein or inferior vena cava;
Middle or higher ascites which is clinically significant, it requires therapeutic abdominal paracentesis /drainage, or the Child-Pugh score > 2;
Local anticancer therapy (including surgery, ablation, hepatic arterial chemotherapy, embolization or radiotherapy) or major surgery was performed 28 days prior to randomization;
