Brief summary
This is a single-center, open-label, non-randomized, parallel-group phase 1 study evaluating a personalized neoantigen-based dendritic cell vaccine following microwave ablation in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. After receiving information on both treatment options, eligible participants selected, according to their preference, either microwave ablation followed by Neo-DC vaccination or microwave ablation alone
Interventions
HCC (3cm≤D ≤5 cm, fewer than three tumors) patients were treated with Microwave Ablation and 7 courses of neoantigen-based DC vaccines.The first neoantigen-based DC vaccine injection will take place up to 30 days following the completion of Microwave Ablation. The day of the first vaccine injection will be referred to as Day 1.The schedule of vaccination is Day 1, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22, Day 50, Day78, Day106.
ALL the HCC patients will be treated by Microwave Ablation.
