Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the TheraBionic P1 device given to patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have no standard of care options can affect patients survival. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- will the TheraBionic P1 device affect overall survival in advance HCC
- the long term safety and tolerability of the TheraBionic P1 device
- assessment of how the disease responded to the TheraBionic P1 device

- Patients who have failed at least two lines of therapy* or who are no longer eligible for any line of standard therapy or who are intolerant to at least two lines of therapy.
- Patients with pacemakers or other implantable devices may be treated with the TheraBionic P1 device.
