Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
Autologous γδT cells
Arm Description
Subjects will receive 3 cycles of γδT cells treatments, at four-week intervals, each cycle has 2 infusions. Dose escalation subjects will receive 6 infusions with dose of γδT cells escalation from 1×10e9 to 6×10e9. Constant dose subjects will have single infusion intravenously at a target dose of 1~2×10e9 γδT cells.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)
Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) of each patient will be recorded and analyzed.
Overall survival (OS)
Overall survival is defined as the time from the day in which the patient is enrolled to the date on which the patient dies for any cause.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
The objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve radiographic partial or complete response (PR or CR) according to the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) guideline.
Patients-based Quality of Life Evaluation
According to the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) quality of life of the core scale criteria QLQ-C30 to evaluate and compare patients life quality before and after treatment.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
To evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of autologous γδT cells in the treatment of advanced hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma.
Detailed Description
This is a single-centre, non-randomised, open label, no control, prospective clinical trial. The study will include the following sequential phases: sign informed consent, γδT cells pre-culture, fresh biopsy and screening, apheresis, γδT cells preparation, treatment and follow-up. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of autologous γδT cells in patients with advanced hepatitis B related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) which are refractory to current treatment.
Stage I comprising a safety cohort of patients to identify a safe dose, Stage II comprising an expanded patient group for response signal identification, Stage III to confirm efficacy and safety.
