If the patient received previous systemic chemotherapy as adjuvant treatment, he must
have been completed at least 12 months previously.

- Patients progress after previous local treatment and at the time of randomization is
at least 4 weeks after the last interventional therapy (Hepatic Artery Infusion,
Trans-Artery Embolization or Trans-Artery Chemo-Embolization) or at least 8 weeks
after the last radiotherapy/ablation/ Percutaneous Ethanol Injection to the target
lesion.

- Any previous oxaliplatin or doxorubicin treatment, except adjuvant treatment more
than 12 months before the randomization.

- Previous liver transplantation.

- Patients concomitantly receiving any other anti-cancer therapy, including
interferon-α and herbal medicine which was approved by local authority to be used as
"anti-cancer" medicine, except radiotherapy to non-target lesion (bone metastasis,
etc)
