5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This study enrolls patients who have relapsed/advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, BCLC stage C). The HCC tumor relapsed or metastasized through the body after standard treatment or the patients cannot receive standard treatment under current conditions. This research study uses specific HCC antigens CD8+ T cells, a new experimental treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerance as well as the potential clinical efficacy of an adoptive transfer of CD8+ T cells, sorted with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-peptide multimers and specific for Glypican (GPC)-3 /New York Esophageal Squamous-1 (NY-ESO-1) /alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) antigens and cultured in vitro, to patients suffering from relapsed/advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Arm Description
Autologous in vitro expanded HCC antigens-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes in conjunction with IL-2 and along with lymphodepleting chemotherapy (Tegafur) will be administered to patients with relapsed/advanced HCC.
Intervention Type
Biological
Intervention Name(s)
HCC antigens-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes
Intervention Description
Three different dosing schedules will be evaluated. Three patients will be evaluated on each dosing schedule.
The following dose levels will be evaluated:
Loading Dose 1: 3x10^7/m2 Loading Dose 2: 6x10^7/m2 Loading Dose 3: 9x10^7/m2 The doses are calculated according to the actual number of GPC3/NY-ESO-1/AFP specific cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs)
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
IL-2
Other Intervention Name(s)
Human recombinated Interleukin-2
Intervention Description
IL-2 will be given at a dose of 25000 IU/kg/day for 5-14 days.
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
Tegafur
Other Intervention Name(s)
Gimeracil and Oteracil potassium Capsules
Intervention Description
Tegafur will be given at a dose of 40~60 mg bis in die (BID) 2 weeks.
Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety]
Description
Defined as signs/symptoms, laboratory toxicities, and clinical events that are possibly, likely, or definitely related to study treatment Adverse events assessed according to NCI-CTCAE v4.0 criteria 2.
Time Frame
4 weeks
Secondary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Biological activity of infused T cells
Description
To assess the biological activity of infused in vitro expanded and sorted HCC antigens-specific T cells.
