A Study of SCG101 in the Treatment of Subjects With Hepatitis B Virus-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma

This study will be conducted in 2 parts: In Phase 1 dose escalation, cohorts of 3-6 subjects each will be sequentially assigned to escalating dose level of SCG101. The recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) will be selected based on the safety, PK/ PD and antitumor activities if the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is not reached from the planned dose levels.

In Phase 2a, subjects will be enrolled to characterize the safety and evaluate the efficacy of SCG101.
