9. Subjects with at least 1 measurable lesion according to RECIST v1.1 and mRECIST (a lesion that has undergone local therapy such as radiation therapy or interventional therapy cannot be considered measurable unless imaging evidence confirms unequivocal progression of the lesion), RECIST v1.1 i.e., non-nodal lesions ≥ 10 mm in longest diameter and/or nodal lesions ≥ 15 mm in short diameter on CT or MRI; mRECIST refers to non-lymph node measurable disease criteria meeting RECIST v1.1 criteria (hilar lymph nodes must have short axis ≥ 20 mm) and demonstrating intratumoral arterial enhancement on contrast-enhanced CT or MRI ;
10. Subjects must provide either fresh tumor tissue samples that meet the requirements or archival tissue within 2 year prior to signing the ICF;

11. Subject has adequate organ and bone marrow function and meets the following laboratory criteria:

    • Bone marrow function: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5e9/L; platelets (PLT) ≥ 75e9/L (transfusion or use of hematopoietic stimulating factors was not acceptable within 14 days prior to Screening);
    • Hemoglobin ≥ 90g/L;
    • Liver function: total bilirubin ≤ 2.5 × ULN; alanine aminotransferase ≤ 5 × ULN; aspartate aminotransferase ≤ 5 × ULN;
    • Renal function: serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN, or creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min (calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula);
    • Coagulation: International normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN (INR between 2.0 and 3.0 is required for subjects receiving prophylactic anticoagulant therapy);
12. Men and women of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception from signing the ICF until one year after the last cell infusion and must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening for women of childbearing potential.

2. Prior bone marrow or organ transplant (including but not limited to liver transplant) or waiting for transplant;
3. Previous or concurrent history of other malignancies, except for carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix that has been cured and has not recurred for at least 2 years before screening, noninvasive basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or ductal carcinoma in situ after radical treatment for localized prostate cancer and radical resection;
4. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) positive and HBV DNA > 500 IU/mL (lower limit of detection; HBV DNA ≤ 500 IU/mL, lymphodepletion pretreatment requires antiviral therapy for at least 14 days before treatment and can be enrolled if antiviral therapy is continued during the study); hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody positive and HCV RNA positive; human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody positive; syphilis antibody positive;
5. HLA antibody positive subjects, including weak positive, positive and strong positive (except those with HLA typing different from SN301A cell injection products);
6. Prior treatment with other cellular products or GPC3-targeted agents;
7. Received any fluoropyrimidine chemotherapeutic agents or small-molecule targeted agents within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to signing the ICF; received any antineoplastic biological agents or non-fluoropyrimidine chemotherapeutic agents within 28 days prior to signing the ICF; received wide-range radiotherapy within 28 days prior to signing the ICF, received local radiotherapy for non-target lesions to relieve symptoms within 14 days prior to signing the ICF; received traditional Chinese medicine/Chinese herbal medicine and local interventional therapy with anti-tumor indications within 14 days prior to signing the ICF;
8. Adverse events resulting from prior anticancer therapy have not recovered to Grade 1 or baseline, except for alopecia, Grade 2 peripheral neurotoxicity, hypothyroidism stabilized by hormone replacement;
9. Subjects who have received attenuated live vaccine immunization within 28 days prior to signing ICF or need to receive attenuated live vaccine immunization during the study;
10. Major surgical treatment (except liver mass biopsy) within 28 days prior to signing the ICF, or the need for major surgical treatment during the study;
11. Requiring chronic systemic corticosteroids (at doses ≥ 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days prior to the first study drug infusion or during the study, except for inhaled or topical use;
12. Subjects with fungal, bacterial, viral, tuberculosis or other infection requiring systemic anti-infective treatment within 14 days prior to signing the ICF;
