Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate daily dosing of oral immunotherapy hepcortespenlisimut-L (V5) in patients with advanced stage of HCC not amenable to surgical intervention or with recurrent tumor after surgery.

Detailed Description

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

Hepcortespenlisimut-L (V5) immunotherapy of HCC in an open label setting with baseline alphafetoprotein serum levels and CT scan image as primary endpoints with monthly follow-up thereafter. Additional endpoints will include blood biochemistry indices and safety monitoring.
