Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if INT001 can ablate liver tumors in adults in an outpatient setting. It will also help us learn about the safety of INT001. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Using a needle under image guidance, the liver tumor is accessed and INT001 is injected. Upon injection into tumor, does INT001 ablate/kill the tumor entirely?
2. What medical problems do participants experience when receiving INT001?

Participants will:

Receive INT001 on day 1. Visit the clinic day 7, 30 and 90. Receive lab tests during each visit and MRI on day 30 and 90.

INT001 Treatment

Patients with liver tumors enrolled in the study will receive INT001

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Needle based delivery of INT001 into liver tumors under real-time image guidance

Intervention Type DEVICE

Using ultrasound or CT imaging, the liver tumor is located. Under local anesthesia or, if necessary, intravenous sedation, the needle is inserted through the skin and the needle tip is brought to the center of the liver tumor using image guidance. 1-2 ml of the INT-001 is injected. The needle is removed and a bandaid is applied to the skin entry site. Right after, or as soon as MRI becomes available, MRI is performed to show that the entire tumor has been treated.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Diagnosis of primary or secondary liver cancer.
2. ECOG Performance Status score of 0 - 2
3. Age ≥18 years, \<100 years
4. Life expectancy of ≥3 months
5. Patient is unsuitable for surgical resection or transplantation
6. Ability of the patient to understand and sign the Informed Consent Form describing the study's nature
7. Volunteer's willingness and ability to comply with protocol requirements, including all procedures, clinical evaluations, and follow-up visits

Exclusion Criteria

1. Decompensated liver function, specifically Child-Pugh C, moderate to severe ascites, coagulopathy, or severe cirrhosis.
