AFP Specific T Cell Receptor Transduced T Cells Injection(C-TCR055) in Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Phase 1

• Conditions: Hepatocellular Carcinoma
• Interventions: Biological: Autologous C-TCR055

• Registration Number: NCT04368182
• Lead Sponsor: Zhejiang University

Brief Summary

A study that aimed to assess the safety and anti-tumor activity of C-TCR055 injection in unresectable HCC patients

Detailed Description

This study plans to enroll 5 patients to assess the safety of C-TCR055. Subjects who meet the eligibility criteria will receive a single dose of C-TCR055 injection, and will be followed up post treatment for safety monitoring. The follow up period will last 12 months.
