Trial summary

The aim of this pilot study is to assess the efficacy of radiation segmentectomy with Theraspheres in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma that would qualify for thermal ablation as per the BCLC guidelines, but are unable to receive thermal ablation due to unfavorable location of target lesions.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Local Tumor Response According to mRECIST

    Efficacy of 90Yttrium (Y90) Radiation Segmentectomy on Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma as measured by tumor response according to mRECIST.

    CR = Disappearance of any intratumoral arterial enhancement in all target lesions PR = At least a 30% decrease in the diameter of the viable (enhancement in the arterial phase) target lesion SD = Any cases that do not qualify for either partial response or progressive disease PD = An increase of at least 20% in the diameter of viable (enhancing) target lesion

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Median Time to Progression (TTP)

    Time until progression of the target lesion and overall disease based on mRECIST

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Cumulative Incidence of Participants With Local Progression

    Cumulative incidence function estimation of the incidence of the occurrence of local progression (event) at 1 year and 2 years while taking the competing risk of transplant into account.

    Local progression was defined per modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (mRECIST) for target lesions and assessed by MRI with local progression defined as an >20% increase in the diameter of the viable (enhancing) target lesion, taking as a reference of the baseline enhancing tumor size.

    Measured: 1 year and 2 years

  3. Quantifying Dose to Target Lesion

    The dose was calculated using PET/CT calculated dose estimation delivered to the tumor. Counts on PET/CT post-treatment were used to estimate the dose delivered to the tumor.

    Measured: 0 days

  4. Number of Treatment-related Adverse Events

    Number of treatment related adverse events according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v 5.0 (CTCAE).

    Measured: For 2 years with visits 6 weeks post treatment then every 3 months since treatment for 24 months for assessment of laboratory and clinical symptoms

  5. Number of Participants With Access Site-related Adverse Events

    Number of participants with access site-related adverse events

    Measured: For 2 years with visits 6 weeks post treatment then every 3 months since treatment for 24 months for assessment of laboratory and clinical symptoms

  6. Number of Participants With Treatment-related Laboratory Adverse Events

    Number of participants with treatment-related laboratory adverse events assessed 6 weeks post-treatment then every 3 months since treatment for 24 months

    Measured: For 2 years with visits 6 weeks post treatment then every 3 months since treatment for 24 months for assessment of laboratory changes

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Feb 2023). 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 Local Tumor Response According to mRECIST (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03248375, which also lists 16 linked publications.

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.
