Trial Information

A Phase I, Open-Label, Multi-center, Dose-escalation Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of GC33 Administered Weekly in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)


This is a Phase I open-label dose escalation study of GC33 in patients with advanced or
metastatic HCC. This study is designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics,
and preliminary assessment of anti-tumor activity. Enrollment will proceed until a maximum
tolerated dose (MTD) and a recommended Phase II dose has been established.
