Phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial aimed to seek the therapeutic benefit of hepcortespenlisimut-L (Hepko-V5) in subjects with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
Phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial aimed to seek the therapeutic benefit of hepcortespenlisimut-L (Hepko-V5) in subjects with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. The results will be compared to placebo. The trial duration is 3 months and will consist of one stage with baseline laboratory evaluation including AFP levels with follow-up at monthly intervals. In addition pre-entry abdominal CT scan and end-study CT scan will be preformed. The clinical evaluation will be quantified according to special performance questionnaire.

Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects who might have already taken V5 in prior trials and have no baseline data. Those who met inclusion criteria can be retrospectively enrolled. Pregnant or breast-feeding women are excluded.

Subjects requiring concurrent participation in another experimental research treatment study, or who received an experimental agent within four weeks prior to Study Entry.
Evidence of active or acute cardiac disease, epilepsy, or life-threatening diseases unrelated to HCC.
Medical conditions such as active alcohol or substance abuse, or psychological issues that in the opinion of the local investigator would interfere with adherence to the requirements of this study.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Able to have children. For women this usually means from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery; for men, unless permanently sterile. Read who the line is about — participants, women, men, or their partners.
Criteria about it usually ask for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Started Jan 2015 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Nov 2019, 58 months after the start.
Of 52 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Carcinoma, Hepatocellular, half reached primary completion within 53 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 41 and three quarters within 63. This study's planned 58 months is close to that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 138 studies reached it within 56 months; a quarter within 43 and three quarters within 83.
