About this study

Official title: Study to Calculate the Radiation-Absorbed Dose of Technetium-99m Macroaggregated Albumin (99mTc-MAA) to the Whole Body and Non-Liver Critical Organs

The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to evaluate the dose of radiation of Technetium-99m macroaggregated-albumin (99mTc-MAA) after an intra-arterial injection to the whole body and non-liver critical organs in patients who are undergoing evaluation for SIR-Spheres treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

The investigation is a prospective, single center, open label, single-arm study. Patients enrolled in the study will have 3 imaging scans taken after 99mTc-MAA injection, the final of which will occur between 18 and 24 hours post-injection.

What participants receive

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

  • 99mTc-Macro Albumin AggregateDrug

    Technetium-99m macroaggregated-albumin consists of macroaggregated-albumin particles labeled with technetium-99m (99mTc), with a size between 10 and 90 microns in diameter. 99mTc is a gamma emitting radioactive isotope commonly used for diagnostic localization studies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing 99mTc-Macro Albumin Aggregate in people with Carcinoma and Carcinoma, Hepatocellular, run by Sirtex Medical 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 29 Jan 2025. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 29 Jan 2025). 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?

Mean Absorbed Dose (Gy) for the Whole Body (time frame: 18-24 hours). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05848947, which also lists 3 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.

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 29 Jan 2025.
