TCR-T immunotherapy involves the bioengineering reprogramming of the human body’s natural immune defenders, T cells, to enhance their cytolytic specificity function against tumour cells. Our clinical data presented in these abstracts supports the use of Lion TCR’s lead T-cell product, LioCyx-M is a promising TCR-T immunotherapy for primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and recurrence post liver transplantation.

Each of these abstracts highlights the good safety profile and efficacy of our lead product LioCyx-M, autologous T cells modified to express Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific TCR, as monotherapy in either unresectable HBV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or recurrent HCC post liver transplantation in two independent Phase I studies. These data demonstrate the promising use of HBV-specific TCR-T therapy in HBV-related HCC.
