AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age \>18 years and ≤75 years, male or female.
* Histologically confirmed recurrent or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that is not amenable to surgical resection.
* At least one measurable target lesion according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1).
* Tumor tissue must test positive for GPC3 expression by immunohistochemical (IHC), defined as \> 25% of tumor cells staining for GPC3 in the pathological specimen. Preferably, the target lesion sample should be used, including freshly obtained tumor tissue or archival tissue samples deemed acceptable by the investigator.
* Expected survival ≥ 12 weeks.
* Child-Pugh class A.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status was 0-1.
* For subjects who are HBsAg or HBcAb positive, HBV-DNA must be \< 2 000 IU/mL; HBsAg-positive patients must receive antiviral therapy according to the Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B (2022 Edition).
* Adequate venous access for leukapheresis or venous blood collection.
* Hematologic parameters: WBC ≥ 2.5 × 10⁹/L, platelets ≥ 60 × 10⁹/L, Hb ≥ 9.0 g/dL, lymphocytes ≥ 0.4 × 10⁹/L.
* Biochemical parameters: Serum albumin ≥ 30 g/L; Lipase and amylase ≤ 1.5 × ULN; serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN and estimated creatinine clearance ≥ 40 mL/min; ALT and AST ≤ 5 × ULN; serum total bilirubin ≤ 2.5 × ULN; prothrombin time ≤ 4s longer above normal.
* Women or childbearing potential must have a neg…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
