What this trial studies

This Phase 1/2a clinical trial evaluates the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of SCG101 in patients with hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The study is divided into two phases: Phase 1 involves dose escalation with cohorts of 3-6 subjects receiving increasing doses of SCG101 to determine the recommended phase 2 dose based on safety and antitumor activity. Phase 2a will further assess the safety and efficacy of SCG101 in a larger group of subjects. The trial aims to provide insights into a potential new treatment option for patients with advanced liver cancer.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals with histologically confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma who have received at least two standard systemic therapies and meet specific eligibility criteria.

Not a fit: Patients with untreated or active central nervous system metastasis or those with a history of another primary cancer may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new therapeutic option for patients suffering from hepatitis B virus-related liver cancer.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in targeting hepatocellular carcinoma with novel therapies, but the specific approach of SCG101 is relatively novel.
