The previous PD-1 monoclonal antibody treatment was ineffective and the treatment was terminated for more than 28 days; 4. According to the RECIST1.1 standard, there is at least one target lesion that can be evaluated stably, which is defined as: the longest diameter of non-lymph node lesions >=10 mm, or the short diameter of lymph node lesions >=15 mm; the intrahepatic lesions require arterial phase enhanced imaging; 5. The tumor tissue sample was tested positive for GPC3 by immunohistochemistry (IHC); 6. According to the Barcelona Liver Cancer Grading Standard (BCLC), it is classified as Grade C or Grade B that is not suitable for local treatment/local treatment progress; 7. Estimated survival time> 12 weeks; 8. Child-Pugh score of liver cirrhosis A grade; 9. ECOG physical status score 0~1; 10.
