  • Subjects in stable general condition and are applicable to pain control treatment
  • Arteriovenous malformation:
  • Subjects with arteriovenous malformation (except for central nervous system, heart, and lung) confirmed by dynamic CT but at a low risk of undesirable reflux into systemic circulation and with vessel malformation suitable for particle embolization in size
  • 2. Subjects with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) 0-2 (PS 0-1 for metastatic hepatic cancer)
  • 3. No carry-over effect of prior therapy or adverse drug reactions which may influence the embolic effect of E7040, if having a history of prior therapy time elapsed from the end of prior therapy to the start of E7040 embolization therapy should be: Surgery: greater than or equal to 6 weeks Local therapy: greater than or equal to 4 weeks Embolization for non-target vessel: greater than or equal to 4 weeks
  • 4. With a survival of greater than or equal to 12 months after the prior arterial embolization therapy using E7040

Who cannot join

  • Subjects with clinical symptom or brain metastasis or cerebral encephalopathy requiring medical treatment
  • Suspected to have hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) judging from clinical findings in patients with any disease other than HCC
  • Previously treated with arterial embolization therapy in target vessel
  • Previously treated with arterial embolization therapy in non-target vessel, resection in target organ, or local therapy (e.g., RFA) (except for HCC patient)
  • Subjects expected to have artery-pulmonary vein shunt or right-to-left shunt, or those with a possible risk of influx of embolized particles into the central nervous system.

What participants receive

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

  • E7040Device

    E7040 of optimal particle size (-300 um, 300-500 um, or 500-700 um to fit in a target vessel, target lesion, or embolized area) as transcatheter study device will be administered .

What is being measured

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

  1. Success Rate of Embolization in the Target Vessel

    Embolization performance was graded per 1 of 4 levels: (1) complete embolization, 100% disappearance of contrast enhancement in the target vessel as evaluated by post-embolization digital subtraction angiography; (2) intensive embolization, ≥80% disappearance; (3) moderate embolization, ≥50% and <80% disappearance; (4) mild embolization, <50% disappearance. Success rate was obtained by calculating the percentage of complete embolization and intensive embolization cases. Embolization performance evaluated by both the Imaging Evaluation Committee and by the Investigator or Subinvestigator.

    Measured: Day 1 (embolization) up to Day 30 after treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Success Rate for Operability of Embolization

    Operability and usability were evaluated by the Investigator on the basis of the sense of resistance when E7040 was injected, and how smoothly the microspheres could pass through the catheter. The evaluation criteria are very easy to use, easy to use, difficult to use, very difficult to use. Success rate was obtained by calculating the percentage of very easy to use and easy to use cases.

    Measured: Day 1 (embolization) up to Day 30 after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing E7040 in people with Hypervascular Tumor and Arteriovenous Malformation, run by Eisai Co., Ltd. at 10 sites in Japan.

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 14 inclusion and 5 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 22 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Japan. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Feb 2016). 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?

Success Rate of Embolization in the Target Vessel (time frame: Day 1 (embolization) up to Day 30 after treatment). 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 22 Feb 2016.
