---|---|---|
Carcinoma, Hepatocellular | Biological: OBP-301 | Phase 1 |
After screening, each eligible patient will undergo a treatment of OBP-301 within 14 days and will automatically enter follow-up period.
The follow-up period is up to 12 weeks after the last injection in the phase I part.
Each patient will return for follow-up visit weekly in the first month after the last injection, and then every 4 weeks up to the end of follow-up period.

Experimental: single intra-tumoral injection
OBP-301 ; Cohort 1: 1x10 10 viral particle (VP)/ tumor Cohort 2: 1x10 11 viral particle (VP)/ tumor Cohort 3: 1x10 12 viral particle (VP)/ tumor
|
Biological: OBP-301
A range of dose levels is investigated and the starting dose is 1x1010 VP/tumor. Dose administration will be conducted through a dose-escalating scheme from 1x1010 VP/tumor to 1x1011 VP/tumor, 1x1012 VP/tumor, 3x1011 VP/tumor and 3x1012 VP/tumor. |
- Evaluation of safety parameters (adverse events, laboratory data, EKG, body weight, vital signs) on patient-base. [ Time Frame: 14 weeks ]
- Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)/ Maximum Feasible Dose (MFD) for patients using OBP-301. [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ]
- Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) for patients using OBP-301. [ Time Frame: 28 weeks ]
