About this study

Official title: A Phase II Feasibility Study to Assess the Use of SIR-Sphere in Patients With Breast Cancer Who Have Chemotherapy-Resistant Disease in the Liver

The purpose of this study to study whether or not the use of direct radiation therapy with Y-90 microspheres (SIR-Spheres) has any effect on treated liver with respect to tumor response in breast cancer patients.

Criteria:

  • Breast cancer
  • Clinical evidence of metastatic disease in the liver
  • Performance status (0-2)
  • Not pregnant
  • Laboratory values received after any prior chemotherapy
  • Normal Pt/PTT
  • recovered from any chemotherapy side-effects
  • No prior radiation therapy to the liver
  • No other MAJOR site of cancer such as lungs or brain
  • No uncontrolled infections
  • a candidate for surgical resection or ablation therapy
Read the detailed description

Patient must pass an MAA angiography study to detect abnormal shunting of the vessels to the lungs and stomach. Shunting of the radiation seeds to these areas, if an abnormality exists would be harmful.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BrachytherapyDevice

    Also called Radiation seeds

    SIR-Sphere contains radiation of Y-90.

  • SIR-SphereDevice

    Brachytherapy Radiation seeds

Study groups in NCT00891800
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1ExperimentalAll patients will be treated with SIR-Sphere therapy.
Receives: Device: Brachytherapy; Device: SIR-Sphere

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Primary: Assessment of the feasibility of SIRT treatment as measured by tumor response in the treated labe/s of the liver.Assessed by CT scan and measurement Secondary Response: Assessment of treatment toxicity. Assessed by examination and blood work.

    Measured: Patients will be followed for 5 years or Progressive disease in the treated liver or until such time as systemic therapy is needed for disease in other organs which will affect tumor response in the liver.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Brachytherapy and SIR-Sphere in people with Breast Cancer Metastatic to the Liver, run by St. Joseph's Hospital, Florida at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Lack of study patients). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary: Assessment of the feasibility of SIRT treatment as measured by tumor response in the treated labe/s of the liver.Assessed by CT scan and measurement Secondary Response: Assessment of treatment toxicity. Assessed by examination and blood work. (time frame: Patients will be followed for 5 years or Progressive disease in the treated liver or until such time as systemic therapy is needed for disease in other organs which will affect tumor response in the liver.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jun 2011.
