ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new treatment called CD-801 for patients with advanced liver cancer, specifically hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The main goals of the study are to check how safe this treatment is and whether it can effectively help people with this type of cancer. Participants will receive the CD-801 drug through an intravenous (IV) line, starting with an initial dose followed by additional doses over time, depending on how well they tolerate the treatment and how their cancer responds.

To be eligible for the trial, participants must be at least 18 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of advanced HCC that cannot be surgically removed or treated with standard therapies. They should have measurable cancer lesions and be in relatively good health, as indicated by a performance status score. The trial is currently not recruiting participants, but it will include around 10 people once it starts. Those who join can expect regular check-ups and monitoring to track how well the treatment works and to ensure their safety throughout the study.

Males with fertility and females of childbearing potential are willing to use a highly effective method of contraception for the entire study period and for 6 months after study drug discontinuation. Females of childbearing age, including premenopausal females and within 2 years after menopause, must have a negative serum pregnancy test result within 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.
• • 9. Subjects who had a voluntary agreement to provide written informed consent and the willingness and ability to comply with all aspects of the protocol.
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Inadequate liver function：Albumin (ALB) \< 25 g/L, or total bilirubin \> 5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN), or aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \>10 × ULN.
• • 2. Inadequate renal function defined as creatinine \>1.5 × ULN or calculated creatinine clearance \< 40 mL/min.
• • 3. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \< 1.0×109/L, or Platelets \< 30×109/L, or Hemoglobin \< 8.5 g/dL.
• • 4. International Normalized Ratio (INR) \> 2.3.
• • 5. Subjects with a history of liver transplantation.
• • 6. Subjects with poorly controlled hypertension, diabetes or other serious heart or lung diseases, or with serious dysfunction.
• • 7. Subjects with extrahepatic metastasis who had not received first-line systemic therapies (excluding those who are not eligible for systemic therapies) or who were receiving effective systemic therapy currently.
• • 8. Subjects who had prior anticancer treatment with any locoregional therapies, antiangiogenic targeted therapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors or chemotherapy (within 4 weeks, or within 2 weeks in case of sorafenib), radiotherapy (within 3 weeks), or active traditional Chinese medicine (within 2 weeks) before the first dose of study treatment, except for the treatments after which the disease still progressed according to mRECIST.
• • 9. All toxicities related to prior locoregional or systemic anti-tumor treatments are still grade 2 or more (except for hair loss and other events that have been judged tolerable by researchers).
• • 10. Subjects with complication histories of liver cirrhosis or HCC such as gastrointestinal hemorrhage, overt hepatic encephalopathy, or refractory ascites within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment.
• • 11. Uncontrolled active infection (eg, lung infections, or abdominal infections).
• • 12. History of malignancy other than HCC within 5 years prior to screening, with the exception of malignancies with a negligible risk of metastasis or death (e.g., 5-year overall survival rate \> 90%), such as adequately treated early gastric carcinoma, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, or localized prostate cancer.
• • 13. HBV DNA greater than 500 copies/mL, or HCV RNA greater than 15 U/mL.
• • 14. Subject is positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
• • 15. Any subject who is allergic to MRI contrast agents.
• • 16. Pregnant/lactating women, or women who have the possibility of pregnancy.
