    Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide


    The phenomenon that can specifically up-regulate targeted genes is called RNA activation (RNAa), and those small double-stranded RNAs with RNAa function are called small activating RNA (saRNA)


    The press release pointed out that MTL-CEBPA is the first therapy to specifically upregulate CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBP-α).


    The open-label Phase 1 trial will enroll approximately 30 patients with unresectable or advanced HCC who have not received systemic therapy in the past
