Clinical Trial Summary

This Phase 2a trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of NK cell therapy combined with the hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) in patients with intermediate and/or locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We hypothesized that 5-fluorouracil (FU) with immunomodulatory functions would relieve the immunosuppressive microenvironment from the myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), thereby enhancing the anti-tumor activity of NK cells. Thus, the subsequent infusion of autologous NK cells (VAX-NK/HCC) following HAIC treatment may further improve the anti-tumor activity in patients with advanced HCC.


Clinical Trial Description

Primary Objective I. To assess the objective response rate (ORR) of administering VAX-NK/HCC, autologous NK cells combined with HAIC in patients with locally advanced HCC. Secondary Objectives I. To assess the efficacy of administering VAX-NK/HCC combined with HAIC. II. To assess the safety of administering VAX-NK/HCC combined with HAIC. III. To assess the immune responses of administering VAX-NK/HCC combined with HAIC. OUTLINE: This is a Phase 2a study. Patients receive HAIC treatment every 4 week for up to 4 cycles followed by ex-vivo expanded autologous NK cell infusions. The NK cell treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients will be followed until the disease progression. ;
