Clinical Trial Summary

This phase I trial is studying the safety and best dose of GC33 in patients with advanced or metastatic liver cancer.


Description:

This is a Phase I open-label dose escalation study of GC33 in patients with advanced or metastatic HCC. This study is designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary assessment of anti-tumor activity. Enrollment will proceed until a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and a recommended Phase II dose has been established.
