Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is the safety and efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE) plus natural killer (NK) immunotherapy to recurrent liver cancer.

Detailed Description

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

By enrolling patients with recurrent liver cancer adapted to enrolled criteria, this study will document for the first time the safety and the short and long term efficacy of the combined therapy using IRE and NK cells.

The safety will be evaluated by statistics of adverse reactions. The efficacy will be evaluated according to local relief degree, progress free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Study Groups

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

Electroporation and natural killer

In this group, the patients will receive regular irreversible electroporation (IRE) treatment in combination with multiple natural killer (NK) immunotherapies. The check indexes are CT scan and blood tests (including tumor markers, lymphocyte subsets and circulating tumor cell).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Irreversible Electroporation

Intervention Type DEVICE

One kind of electric ablation machine from Angiodynamic company (USA)

Natural killer

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Each treatment: 8-10 billion cells in all, transfuion in 3 times, i.v.

Electroporation

In this group, the patients will receive regular irreversible electroporation (IRE) treatment to control the tumor growth. The check indexes are CT scan and blood tests (including tumor markers, lymphocyte subsets and circulating tumor cell).
