  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • 1) Age 18-75 (inclusive) on the day of singing informed consent, male or female.
  • 2) Voluntarily agree to provide signed informed consent and are willing and able to comply with all aspects of the protocol 3) Subjects in each disease cohorts will need to fulfill the following criteria:
  • HCC Cohort:
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of HCC, or clinical diagnosis of HCC as per American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) criteria

  • Documented first-line standard treatment failure (disease progression or intolerance);
  • nccRCC Cohort:Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of nccRCC,that is locally advanced or with distant metastasis, and have not received any prior systemic antitumor therapy. If disease progression occurs within 6 months after the last dose of adjuvant therapy, it is considered a failure of first-line treatment and thus does not meet the criteria.
  • ccRCC Cohort:Histologically or cytologically confirmed ccRCC, with locally advanced unresectable disease or distant metastasis, and disease progression or intolerance after prior first-line therapy. Patients who have received adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy may also be screened if they meet the above criteria.
  • 4) Eligible for treatment with Nivolumab as determined by investigators according to the Package Insert and clinical judgment.
  • 5) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) of 0 or 1 within 7 days prior to the first dose of study intervention 6) Life expectancy in the judgement of the Investigator > 12 weeks. 7) Patients must have at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1 as determined by the investigator, and that has not been the target of local or regional therapy such as radiotherapy; a new area of tumor progression within or adjacent to a previously treated lesion, if clearly measurable by a radiologist, is acceptable.
  • 8) Any adverse events (AEs) related to prior anti-tumor therapy must have resolved to ≤ Grade 1 (CTCAE v6.0). However, patients may still be screened if the investigator determines that the toxicity is well-controlled and does not affect the patient's safety or compliance with the study drug, and this has been confirmed with the sponsor.
  • 9) Collection of an archived tissue sample will be requested (where available) or agree to undergo tumor tissue biopsy for biomarker testing; however, a subject will not be precluded from participating in the study if tissue sample is not available for collection or is otherwise insufficient for analysis.
  • 10) Patients must have adequate organ function as defined below:
  • For patients with no liver metastasis or lesion: AST and ALT ≤2.0× ULN, and total bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN; For patients with liver metastasis or lesion: AST and ALT ≤3.0× ULN, and total bilirubin ≤2×ULN; For patients with Gilbert Syndrome: Total bilirubin ≤3×ULN
  • Serum albumin≥30g/L
  • Creatinine Clearance (CrCL) ≥50 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula: Ccr=(140-Age)×body weight (Kg)/72×Scr(mg/dl){×0.85 for female subject}

Subjects with chronic HBV infection must have HBV DNA < 500 IU/ mL, and should be managed according to treatment guidelines. Those on antiviral therapy at screening should have been treated for >2 weeks before the first dose
  • HCV-HCC: • HCV-HCC: Resolved HCV infection (as evidenced by detectable HCV RNA or antibody), or stable HCV infection (such as normal LFTs or being asymptomatic). Patients with positive HCV RNA requiring direct antiviral agent treatment, or those with HBV and HCV co-infection are excluded 12) Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy within 3 days prior to receiving the first dose of study medication and must use accepted highly effective methods of contraception from the time of signing the informed consent through 6 months after the last dose of study drug. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, or be surgically sterile, for the duration of study participation, and for 3 months after completion of study drug administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing WGI-0301 and Nivolumab (240 mg) in people with Hepato Cellular Carcinoma (HCC) and Renal Cell Cancer, run by Zhejiang Haichang Biotech Co., Ltd. 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 21 inclusion and 17 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Mar 2026. 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?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Angela Men (240-702-0080, angela.men@thewogroup.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Efficacy of WGI-0301 in Combination with Nivolumab (time frame: 24 months). 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 27 Mar 2026.
