Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 years or older with advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma expressing GPC3.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with active central nervous system metastasis or those with severe autoimmune diseases may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1 study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MT-303 in adults with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that expresses glypican-3 (GPC3). Participants will receive intravenous administration of MT-303 in sequential dose escalation cohorts to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). The study aims to provide insights into the drug's efficacy and safety profile in this specific patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced liver cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies targeting GPC3 in cancer treatment have shown promise, indicating potential for success with this approach.
