Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

"Immuncell-LC" in aspects of therapeutic efficacy and safety when administered with Nexavar to advanced Hepatocellular carcinoma patients when compared with the control group who did not receive administration of the drug.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

* primary outcome Compare clinical efficacy of group treated with cell therapeutic Immuncell-LC evaluated by progression free survival with that of untreated group
* secondary outcome compare clinical efficacy of group treated with Immuncell-LC, a drug for treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma evaluated by overall survival, disease control rate, changes of Alpha Feto Protein(AFP) figures from baseline to the last observation date and that of untreated group and evaluate adverse reactions, clinical pathological tests and its safety.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

control group

The study subjects randomly assigned to the control group is given Nexavar chemotherapy according to the clinical test plans.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Immuncell-LC group

The study subjects assigned to the test group blood is drawn before minimum 2 weeks in order to manufacture the test drug. Test group is compared its progression free survival rate after baseline by administering Nexavar chemotherapy same as control group with Immuncell-LC (10 times).
