Trial summary

This study is being done with a new therapy called "Selective Internal Radiation Therapy" (known as SIRT). Radiation is an effective treatment for destroying tumors. It is widely used in cancer treatment. However, radiation can harm normal tissue. SIR-Spheres are tiny plastic beads. Read more about this study

  • Female patients must either be postmenopausal, sterile (surgically or radiation- or chemically-induced), or if sexually active, must agree to use an acceptable method of contraception.
  • Male patients must be surgically sterile, or if sexually active, must agree to use an acceptable method of contraception.
  • Life expectancy of at least 3 months without any active treatment.
  • No chemotherapy regimen administration for at least 4 weeks prior to SIRT administration

Who cannot join

  • Evidence of severe cirrhosis (CHILDS B and C), portal hypertension with gastroesophageal varices and liver failure as determined by clinical, radiologic or laboratory assessment.
  • Previous radiotherapy delivered to the liver.
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding.
  • Any of the following are contraindications to the use of Yttrium-90 microspheres, and are therefore exclusion criteria:
  • With a Tc-99m macroaggregated albumin (MAA) hepatic arterial perfusion scintigraphy that shows any disposition to the gastrointestinal tract that cannot be corrected by angiographic and embolization techniques.
  • With more than 20% shunting of blood to the lungs as estimated in the Lung Scintigram performed after the intraarterial injection of Tc MAA. Radiation pneumonitis has been seen in patients receiving doses of Yttrium-90 greater than 30 Gy in a single treatment. This corresponds to the shunt over 20% presence of vascular abnormalities, bleeding diathesis, making catheterization of the hepatic artery contraindication.

About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) in Patients With Unresectable Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases Who Failed Prior Intraarterial Pump Chemotherapy

This study is being done with a new therapy called "Selective Internal Radiation Therapy" (known as SIRT). Radiation is an effective treatment for destroying tumors. It is widely used in cancer treatment. However, radiation can harm normal tissue. SIR-Spheres are tiny plastic beads. They contain a radioactive agent called Yttrium-90. These beads can be delivered through a small tube inserted into the blood vessel that goes directly to the tumor. The radiation goes directly to the tumor. This spares healthy parts of your liver.

What participants receive

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

  • SIR-spheres® (Selective Internal Radiation Therapy)Device

    SIR-spheres® will be administered at 70%, 85% and 100% of the calculated individual patient dose (approximately 1 month prior to SIR-spheres® administration).The first cohort will receive SIRSpheres® at 70% of the individually calculated patient dose, the second will receive 85% of the calculated patient dose, and the third will receive 100% of the calculated patient dose.

Study groups in NCT00972036
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Unresectable colon cancer patients with liver metastasesExperimentalThis study will be performed to evaluate the safety of Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) in patients with liver only colorectal cancer metastases that have received hepatic arterial infusion pump and have progressed through at least one line of chemotherapy.
Receives: Device: SIR-spheres® (Selective Internal Radiation Therapy)

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the safety, toxicity, and maximum tolerated dose of SIR-Spheres® in patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer to the liver (CLM) who have received previous hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAC).

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To obtain preliminary evidence of any clinical efficacy of the SIRT therapy in these heavily pretreated patients with unresectable CLM who have received hepatic arterial infusion pump and have failed at least one line of prior chemotherapy.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing SIR-spheres® (Selective Internal Radiation Therapy) in people with Colon Cancer and Rectal Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 16 inclusion and 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2014. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

To determine the safety, toxicity, and maximum tolerated dose of SIR-Spheres® in patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer to the liver (CLM) who have received previous hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAC). (time frame: 2 years). 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 11 Dec 2014.
