Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Recurrence or metastasis of HCC prior to the first dose.
  • Has not adequately recovered from toxicities and/or complications of the prior curative procedure.
  • Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or clinically significant ascites (defined as ascites not easily controlled by diuretic therapy).
  • History of gastrointestinal bleeding within 28 days prior to screening, or active bleeding, or bleeding tendency.
  • Received any systemic anti-tumor therapy for HCC (including chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, bio-immunotherapy) within 28 days prior to screening.
  • Participation in another clinical trial within 28 days prior to screening or still within the observational follow-up period of another trial.
  • Continuous systemic corticosteroid therapy (dose equivalent to \>10 mg/day prednisone) for more than one week within 28 days prior to screening (excluding hormone replacement therapy and inhaled corticosteroids).
  • History or presence of other malignancies, except for: adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, basal cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial bladder tumors, ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast, or any other malignancy cured for more than 5 years prior to study entry.

Other illness

  • History of immunodeficiency or active autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, etc.).
  • History of allogeneic stem cell, tissue, or solid organ transplantation (including bone marrow transplant).
  • Uncontrolled severe infection (\> Grade 2 according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0).
  • Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or syphilis.
  • Severe dysfunction of other major organs or cardiopulmonary diseases.
  • Epilepsy requiring medication (such as steroids or antiepileptic drugs).
  • Known history of severe allergy, allergic diseases, or allergic constitution.
  • Severe psychiatric disorder.
  • History of drug abuse or alcohol addiction.
  • Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, makes the subject unsuitable for participation in this study.

Other

  • Presence of hepatic encephalopathy.
  • Requires regular renal dialysis.
  • Pregnant or lactating women, or women with a positive pregnancy test.

Who the study is looking for

  • Aged between 18 and 65 years (inclusive), regardless of gender.
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
  • GPC3 positive confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC).
  • Barcelona clinic liver cancer (BCLC) stage A/B or Chinese Hepatocellular carcinoma Stage (CNLC) Ib-IIIa.
  • Must have undergone curative treatment (surgical resection or local ablation) for HCC within 12 weeks prior to the first NWRD06 administration; The interval between radical resection and the first NWRD06 administration was less than 12 weeks, and the interval between hepatic artery interventional therapy and the first NWRD06 administration was more than 7 days.
  • No residual intrahepatic lesions, no lymph node metastasis, and no extrahepatic metastasis confirmed by imaging within 4 weeks prior to the first dose.
  • For patients who underwent radical resection, the following intraoperative criteria must be met: 1) No invasion of adjacent organs, no portal lymph node or distant metastasis.
    • 2\) Surgical margin negative. 8. No Vp4 macrovascular invasion, hepatic vein or inferior vena cava macrovascular invasion of any grade after radical resection; Notes: Patients with Vp1, Vp2, or Vp3 macrovascular invasion confirmed by imaging or pathology are eligible.
    • 9\. ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1 within 1 week prior to the first dose. 10. Child-Pugh score A/B (≤7) within 1 week prior to the first dose. 11. Adequate organ function within 1 week prior to the first dose: 1) Blood routine: Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥90 g/L; Platelet count (PLT) ≥75×109/L; 2) Liver: Total bilirubin (TB) ≤3× upper limit of normal (ULN); Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤5×ULN; Plasma albumin ≥30g/L; 3) Coagulation: International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤2.3. 4) Renal: Serum Creatinine (Scr) ≤1.5 × ULN, OR Creatinine Clearance ≥40 mL/min (if Scr \>1.5 × ULN).
