Experimental: Capecitabine + Peginterferon alfa-2a Treatment-naive participants with advanced liver cancer will receive combination treatment with capecitabine (1000 milligrams per meter-squared [mg/m^2] twice daily orally on Days 1 to 14 of each 21-day cycle) and peginterferon alfa-2a (180 micrograms (mcg) subcutaneous [SC] every week during each 21-day cycle) until at least 6 cycles (18 weeks) or disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. |
Drug: Capecitabine
Participants will receive oral capecitabine, 1000 mg/m^2 twice daily on Days 1 to 14 of each 21-day cycle, for at least 6 cycles (18 weeks). Treatment may continue until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or consent withdrawal.
