Recruiting PHASE1 Hepatocellular Carcinoma

New treatment option for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Official title Redirected HBV-Specific T Cells in Patients With HBV-related HCC (SAFE-T-HBV)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04745403

What this study is testing

What is mRNA HBV/TCR T-cells?

mRNA HBV/TCR T-cells is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is a single center, single arm and open-label study to determine the safety of mRNA modified HBV-TCR redirected T-cells and to analyze the changes in tumor microenvironment caused by these HBV-TCR redirected T-cells in subjects with HBV-related HCC who are not amenable to/failed conventional treatment.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
