Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study represents a phase I clinical trial that utilizes natural killer (NK) cell therapy for patients diagnosed with liver cancer, specifically those classified as Child-Pugh A and falling within the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stages B or C. The expected results include determining the suitable treatment dosage, identifying any resulting side effects, and calculating the average duration of progression-free survival. The target group for the study consists of all individuals diagnosed with liver cancer. At the same time, the practical sample consists of those who received medical care for liver cancer at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM) between May and December 2022. The chosen research sample comprises liver cancer patients who fulfill the predetermined participation criteria. The necessary sample size for discerning appropriate treatment dosages and the occurrence rate of potential side effects shall consist of 2-3 liver cancer patients who are administered autologous NK cells. The process for isolating these NK cells adheres to the guidelines established by Miltenyi Biotec.

- description
- Dosage Form: Autologous Natural Killer (NK) Cells. These cells will be harvested from the patient's body and infused back into the patient. Dosage: The specific dose quantity will be determined based on the patient's medical condition and response to the treatment. Customized dosages will be calculated for each individual. Frequency: The treatment will be given through an intravenous method. Duration: The length of the treatment will vary depending on how the patient responds and their medical assessment. It may take several weeks to evaluate its effectiveness and potential impacts thoroughly.
