About this trial

This single-arm, open-label multicenter Phase I/II study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, anti-tumor activity, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of C-CAR031 in adult participants with GPC3+ advanced/recurrent HCC, who have progressed or are intolerant to at least two prior lines of standardized systemic therapy, and lack of other effective treatments.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

The participant voluntarily participates in the study, and the individual or their legal guardian signs the informed consent form (ICF).

18 ~ 75 years of age at the time of signing ICF.

Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C or B (not amenable to surgery/local treatment, includes ablative therapy, interventional and radiation therapy) or stage II-III ( not amenable to surgery/local treatment, includes ablative therapy, interventional and radiation therapy) per China liver cancer staging (CNLC).

Child-Pugh score ≤ 6.

Disqualifiers

Known life-threatening allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to the CAR-T product or its excipients, including dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).

Known allergies to lymphodepleting agents, including fludarabine and/or cyclophosphamide.
