Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
LioCyx
Arm Description
This is a single-arm study. Patients will receive escalating doses of LioCyx on Day 1, Day 8, Day 15 and Day 22 of the first 28-day treatment cycle, followed by every 2-week dosing on Day 1, Day 15, Day 29 and Day 43 of repeated cycle. A 21-day treatment break will be given between each cycle.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Safety based on Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs
Review the safety profile of LioCyx by assessing the incidence of AEs and SAEs
Secondary Outcome Measures
Overall Response Rate
Tumor assessment will be according to mRECIST. This is based on percentage of participants with Complete Response (CR) and Partial Response (PR) according to mRECIST from baseline.
Overall Survival according to mRECIST
Assess the efficacy following LioCyx in prolonging overall survival of patients in HBV-related HCC patients
Quality of life of patients
Compare the quality of life of patients based on [Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy- Hepatobiliary (FACIT-Hep), version 4]

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represent approximately 70-85% of liver cancer, in which Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the major etiologic agent accounting for at least 80% of HCC in Asian countries. Overall, transplantation remains the best option however, HCC recurrence rate is high among liver transplant patients.
While there are limited treatment measures for HBV-related HCC recurrences, the study hypothesized that LioCyx is capable of lysing target liver cells expressing the HBV cognate antigens and provide clinical benefit to patients with HBV-related HCC.
Detailed Description
The study is a Phase I/II, open label, single-arm, multicenter study of LioCyx. Subjects with recurrent hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma who undergone liver transplantation will be enrolled.
Approximately 6-12 subjects will be enrolled in Phase 1 dose regimen exploration, and approximately 60 subjects will be enrolled to characterize the safety and evaluate the efficacy of LioCyx"
All subjects will be followed up for survival until death.
