Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

        • Technically resectable HCC as defined by:

          -  HCC may be diagnosed pathologically, or noninvasively by the American Association for
             the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) criteria or the Organ Procurement and Transplant
             Network (OPTN) Obligatory Diagnostic Criteria for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).

        No extrahepatic spread, no nodal disease, and no bilateral left and right branch portal
        vein involvement.

          -  ECOG performance status ≤1 or Karnofsky ≥80.

          -  Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function defined by study-specified
             laboratory tests prior to initial study drug.

          -  Patients must have adequate liver remnant and function.

          -  Antiviral therapy per local standard of care for hepatitis B.

          -  LVEF assessment with documented LVEF ≥ 50% by either TTE or MUGA (TTE preferred)
             within 6 months from first study drug administration.

          -  Woman of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test.

          -  Must use acceptable form of birth control while on study.

          -  Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Fibrolamellar carcinoma or mixed HCC.

             two years, or is likely to be life-limiting in the opinion of the treating
             investigator. Superficial bladder cancer, non-melanoma skin cancers, or low grade
             prostate cancer not requiring therapy would not exclude participation in this trial.

             years.

             prior to informed consent.

Description:
Measure:Objective response rate (ORR) at 8 weeks
Time Frame:8 weeks
Safety Issue:
Description:ORR is defined as the number of patients achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) at any time during the study. CR = disappearance of all target lesions, PR is =>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, progressive disease (PD) is >20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, stable disease (SD) is <30% decrease or <20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions.
Measure:Overall survival (OS) at 12 months
Time Frame:12 months
Safety Issue:
Description:OS will be measured from date of first dose until death or end of follow-up (OS will be censored on the date the subject was last known to be alive for subjects without documentation of death at the time of analysis). Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
Measure:Overall survival (OS) at 18 months
Time Frame:18 months
Safety Issue:
Description:OS will be measured from date of first dose until death or end of follow-up (OS will be censored on the date the subject was last known to be alive for subjects without documentation of death at the time of analysis). Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
Measure:Overall survival (OS) at 3 years
Time Frame:3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:OS will be measured from date of first dose until death or end of follow-up (OS will be censored on the date the subject was last known to be alive for subjects without documentation of death at the time of analysis). Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
Measure:Overall survival (OS) at 5 years
Time Frame:5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:OS will be measured from date of first dose until death or end of follow-up (OS will be censored on the date the subject was last known to be alive for subjects without documentation of death at the time of analysis). Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
Measure:Disease free survival (DFS) at 12 months
Time Frame:12 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Number of months from the date of first treatment until disease recurrence at 12 months. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
Measure:Disease free survival (DFS) at 18 months
Time Frame:18 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Number of months from the date of first treatment until disease recurrence at 18 months. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
Measure:Disease free survival (DFS) at 3 years
Time Frame:3 years

Description:Number of months from the date of first treatment until disease recurrence at 3 years. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
Measure:Disease free survival (DFS) at 5 years
