  • GC33 is a humanized monoclonal antibody against GPC3 that is frequently expressed in HCC.
  • In aphase Ib dose escalation study, GC33 was looked at in combination with sorafenib. Though GC33 showed questionable tolerability, the agent will be looked at with a biomarker component in a future trial.
  • Aphase II triallooking at GC33 in previously treated patients with HCC was also negative.
