A Study of TCR-Redirected T Cell Infusion to Prevent Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence Post Liver Transplantation
- Conditions
- Hepatocellular Carcinoma
- Interventions
- Biological: TCR-TBiological: No intervention and TCR-T (at crossover)
- Registration Number
- NCT02686372
- Lead Sponsor
- Lion TCR Pte. Ltd.
- Brief Summary
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) recurrence rate is high among liver transplant patients, while treatment measures are limited. This study plans to recruit 39 subjects with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) related HCC after liver transplantation. The objective of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of the HBV specific T cell receptor (HBV/TCR) redirected T cell in the target population.
- Detailed Description
A open-label, cohort clinical study of T cell receptor-redirected T cells to prevent recurrence of HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation. Subjects will be enrolled into the observation cohort or treatment cohort.
Subjects enrolled in the treatment group will receive escalating doses of HBV/ TCR expressing autologous T cells after confirming eligibility. The interval between the first two doses is 14 days, followed by one month of safety monitoring, before subsequent two doses of 1 month interval in between. Thereafter, subjects would enter into observation period of the safety and tolerability of the treatment and will be followed up until disease relapse.
Upon disease recurrence, eligible patient may receive HBV specific T-cell receptor (TCR-T) treatment.

Group Intervention Description HBV/TCR-T cell infusion TCR-T Subjects enrolled in the experimental (treatment) group will receive escalating doses of HBV/ TCR expressing autologous T cells. The interval between the first two doses is 14 days, followed by one month of safety monitoring, before subsequent two doses of 1 month interval in between. Thereafter, subjects would enter into observation period of the safety and tolerability of the treatment and will be followed up until disease relapse. No intervention and TCR-T (at crossover) No intervention and TCR-T (at crossover) No intervention and to be crossover to experimental arm upon confirmation of disease recurrence.
