About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Open-label, Single Arm Study Targeting Glypican-3 (GPC3) Chimeric Antigen Receptor Modified T Cells (CAR-T) for Treatment of Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

This is an Open-label, Single Arm study to observe the safety and tolerability of B010-A in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

All subjects participating in this study will receive peripheral blood mononuclear cell collection to produce B010-A injection products after enrollment. Subjects may receive bridging anti-cancer therapy while waiting for the production of B010-A injection. All subjects need to undergo baseline assessment before receiving cell infusion. For all subjects, the baseline assessment includes weight, body surface area, vital signs, physical examination, ECOG score, laboratory examination, coagulation function, etiological examination, 12-lead ECG, echocardiogram, cytokine testing, Tumor marker detection and ICE score, etc. Each subject will receive lymphodepletion prior to B010-A infusion, and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) assessment will be performed on D28 after the first infusion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Biological/Vaccine: Low-dose group, Biological/Vaccine: Mid-dose group and Biological/Vaccine: High-dose group in people with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Tongji University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 22 inclusion and 27 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events [Safety and Tolerability] after B010-A injection. (time frame: Up to 24 months post B010-A injection.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Dec 2023.
