Brief Summary

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

Objectives:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PIK-PD-1 Cells in the treatment of advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Methods:

This study designs a novel therapy using PIK-PD-1 cells. 40 patients with advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma will be enrolled. They are randomly divided into dendritic cell-precision multiple antigen T cells (DC-PMAT) group and PIK-PD-1 cells group. Both DC-PMAT treatment and PIK-PD-1 cells treatment will be performed every 3 weeks with a total of three periods. The mail clinical indicators are Progression-Free-Survival and Overall Survival.

Detailed Description

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

A total of 40 patients may be enrolled over a period of 1-2 years.
