About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Open-Label, Investigator-Initiated Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of NRT6003 Injection (Yttrium-90 Carbon Microspheres) Radioembolization in Previously Treated Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma
This is a prospective, open-label, single-arm, investigator-initiated study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NRT6003 Injection, a yttrium-90 carbon microsphere product, administered by selective internal radiation therapy in previously treated patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Eligible participants will undergo protocol-specified screening assessments, hepatic vascular evaluation, 99mTc-MAA hepatic arterial perfusion imaging, and dosimetry assessment before treatment. Participants who meet the eligibility criteria and are considered suitable for selective internal radiation therapy will receive a single transarterial administration of NRT6003 Injection. Safety follow-up will be conducted for 12 months after treatment, and tumor response will be assessed using mRECIST and RECIST v1.1.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
NRT6003 InjectionDrug
Also called Yttrium-90 Carbon Microspheres, Y-90 Carbon Microspheres, Selective Internal Radiation Therapy, SIRT
NRT6003 Injection contains yttrium-90 carbon microspheres and is administered by transarterial infusion for selective internal radiation therapy. Participants will receive one treatment session only. The administered activity will be determined based on hepatic vascular assessment, 99mTc-MAA simulation, lung shunting assessment, and individualized dosimetry.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| NRT6003 Injection Radioembolization | Experimental | Participants will receive one session of transarterial selective internal radiation therapy with NRT6003 Injection, a yttrium-90 carbon microsphere product, after hepatic vascular evaluation, 99mTc-MAA simulation, and individualized dosimetry assessment. Receives: Drug: NRT6003 Injection |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by mRECIST
Objective response rate is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) after treatment with NRT6003 Injection. Tumor response will be assessed according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) at protocol-defined imaging assessment time points.
Measured: Up to 12 months after NRT6003 administration
Incidence, Type, and Severity of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
Safety will be assessed by the incidence, type, severity, seriousness, and relationship to study treatment of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs). Adverse events will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (NCI-CTCAE v5.0).
Measured: From hepatic vascular evaluation through 12 months after NRT6003 administration
Secondary outcomes (6)
Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by RECIST v1.1
Objective response rate is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) after treatment with NRT6003 Injection. Tumor response will be assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) at protocol-defined imaging assessment time points.
Measured: Up to 12 months after NRT6003 administration
Disease Control Rate (DCR) as Assessed by mRECIST and RECIST v1.1
Disease control rate is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) after treatment with NRT6003 Injection. DCR will be assessed and summarized separately according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) at protocol-defined imaging assessment time points.
Measured: Up to 12 months after NRT6003 administration
Duration of Response (DoR) as Assessed by mRECIST and RECIST v1.1
Duration of response is defined as the time from the first documented complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to the first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. DoR will be assessed and summarized separately according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1).
Measured: From first documented response up to 12 months after NRT6003 administration
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by mRECIST and RECIST v1.1
Progression-free survival is defined as the time from NRT6003 administration to the first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Disease progression will be assessed and summarized separately according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1).
Measured: Up to 12 months after NRT6003 administration
Progression-Free Survival in the Treated Area as Assessed by mRECIST and RECIST v1.1
Progression-free survival in the treated area is defined as the time from NRT6003 administration to the first documented disease progression within the treated area or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Progression in the treated area will be assessed and summarized separately according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1).
Measured: Up to 12 months after NRT6003 administration
Surgical Resection Rate After SIRT
Surgical resection rate is defined as the proportion of participants who undergo surgical resection during the follow-up period after NRT6003 Injection radioembolization. R0/R1 resection status and pathological findings may be summarized when surgical specimens are available.
Measured: Up to 12 months after NRT6003 administration
