Brief Summary

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

This is a single institution, open-label, multi-arm, pilot study of a personalized neoantigen-based dendritic cell (DC) vaccine combined with microwave ablation in subjects with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Patients with HKLC stage IIa HCC are eligible for enrollment. In this study, the investigators are looking at the safety, feasibility of the personalized neoantigen-based DC vaccine combined with microwave ablation as well as the T cell immune response to the vaccine.

Microwave Ablation + Neoantigen Vaccines

The HCC patients will be treated firstly by Microwave Ablation, and then treated by courses of Neoantigen Vaccines.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Neoantigen Vaccines

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

HCC (3cm≤D ≤5 cm, fewer than three tumors) patients were treated with Microwave Ablation and 7 courses of neoantigen-based DC vaccines.The first neoantigen-based DC vaccine injection will take place up to 30 days following the completion of Microwave Ablation. The day of the first vaccine injection will be referred to as Day 1.The schedule of vaccination is Day 1, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22, Day 50, Day78, Day106.

Microwave Ablation

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

ALL the HCC patients will be treated by Microwave Ablation.

Microwave Ablation

The HCC patients will be treated only by Microwave Ablation.No vaccine will be used.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Microwave Ablation

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

ALL the HCC patients will be treated by Microwave Ablation.
