Combination of Irreversible Electroporation and NK Immunotherapy for Recurrent Liver Cancer

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Recurrent Liver Carcinoma
Interventions
Device: Irreversible Electroporation
Biological: Natural killer
Registration Number
NCT03008343
Lead Sponsor
Fuda Cancer Hospital, Guangzhou
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is the safety and efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE) plus natural killer (NK) immunotherapy to recurrent liver cancer.

Detailed Description

By enrolling patients with recurrent liver cancer adapted to enrolled criteria, this study will document for the first time the safety and the short and long term efficacy of the combined therapy using IRE and NK cells.

The safety will be evaluated by statistics of adverse reactions. The efficacy will be evaluated according to local relief degree, progress free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
