Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Microwave Ablation + Neoantigen Vaccines

Microwave Ablation

Arm Description

The HCC patients will be treated firstly by Microwave Ablation, and then treated by courses of Neoantigen Vaccines.

The HCC patients will be treated only by Microwave Ablation.No vaccine will be used.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Safety of neoantigen-based DC vaccine as measured by the number of subjects experiencing each type of adverse event according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Immunogenicity of the neoantigen-based DC vaccine as measured by the frequency of antigen -specific T cells using ELISPOT analysis and ICS analysis.
Number of participants alive at 2 years
Progression-free survival at 2 years

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a single institution, open-label, multi-arm, pilot study of a personalized neoantigen-based dendritic cell (DC) vaccine combined with microwave ablation in subjects with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Patients with HKLC stage IIa HCC are eligible for enrollment. In this study, the investigators are looking at the safety, feasibility of the personalized neoantigen-based DC vaccine combined with microwave ablation as well as the T cell immune response to the vaccine.
