Who cannot join

  • Evidence of potential delivery of greater than 16.5 mCi (30 Gy absorbed dose) of radiation to the lungs on either:
  • single TheraSphere administration; or
  • cumulative delivery of radiation to the lungs greater than 50 Gy over multiple treatments.
  • Evidence of any detectable Tc-99m macroaggregated albumin deposition in the stomach or duodenum, after application of established angiographic techniques to stop such deposition.
  • Previous radiation therapy to the lungs and/or to the upper abdomen
  • Pregnancy

  • Symptomatic lung disease.
  • Significant extrahepatic disease representing an imminent life-threatening outcome.
  • Active uncontrolled infection
  • Any pre-treatment laboratory findings within 30 days of treatment demonstrating:
  • Aspartate or alanine aminotransferase level greater than 5 times upper normal limit.
  • Serum bilirubin greater than 2 mg/dl

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Adverse effects of treatment with Yttrium-90 glass microspheres (TheraSphere) were collected prospectively for 6 months after each treatment administration.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Radiographic Response

    Radiographic response of treated lesions on cross-sectional imaging (computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging) following treatment with Yttrium-90 glass microspheres (TheraSphere) was assessed based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.1. Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD), no change in target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD), increase in target lesions.

    Measured: 6 months after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Selective internal radiation therapy to the liver using Yttrium-90 glass microspheres (TheraSphere) in people with Colorectal Neoplasms and Neuroendocrine Tumors, run by Nicholas Fidelman, MD.

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 6 inclusion and 15 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 1 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Dec 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (time frame: 6 months). 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 1 Mar 2019.
