Efficacy and Safety of 'Immuncell-LC Group' and 'Non-treatment Group' in Nexavar Treated Patients for Advanced HCC

June 22, 2023 updated by: GC Cell Corporation

Randomized, Open-label and Multi-center Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of 'Immuncell-LC Group' and 'Non-treatment Group' in Nexavar Treated Patients for Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

"Immuncell-LC" in aspects of therapeutic efficacy and safety when administered with Nexavar to advanced Hepatocellular carcinoma patients when compared with the control group who did not receive administration of the drug.

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

  • primary outcome Compare clinical efficacy of group treated with cell therapeutic Immuncell-LC evaluated by progression free survival with that of untreated group
  • secondary outcome compare clinical efficacy of group treated with Immuncell-LC, a drug for treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma evaluated by overall survival, disease control rate, changes of Alpha Feto Protein(AFP) figures from baseline to the last observation date and that of untreated group and evaluate adverse reactions, clinical pathological tests and its safety.

  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: control group
The study subjects randomly assigned to the control group is given Nexavar chemotherapy according to the clinical test plans.
Experimental: Immuncell-LC group
The study subjects assigned to the test group blood is drawn before minimum 2 weeks in order to manufacture the test drug. Test group is compared its progression free survival rate after baseline by administering Nexavar chemotherapy same as control group with Immuncell-LC (10 times).
intravenous dripping of 200ml(10^9~2x10^10 lymphocytes/60kg adult) for 1 hour
Other Names:
  • Activated T lymphocyte
