Brief Summary

This is a single-center, single-arm, open-label Phase I study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GPC3-CAR-T cell immunotherapy in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Detailed Description

This study is a single-center, dose-escalation, prospective, exploratory study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GPC3 CAR-T cells in subjects with hepatocellular carcinoma. The study was divided into two phases: dose escalation and dose expansion. The total study duration is expected to be 2 years. The total time for each subject to participate in the study is expected to be more than 1 year, including the screening period, non-myeloablative chemotherapy pretreatment, cell infusion-observation period, follow-up period, and then enter the survival follow-up, followed by telephone follow-up every 2 months, Collect subject survival information.

Study Design
