Liver CancerY-90HDENCT00740753
Radiolabeled Glass Beads Used for Treating Patients With Primary Liver Cancer When Surgery is Not an Option
A study testing Yttrium 90 (TheraSphere) in people with Liver Cancer and Hepatoma, run by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute.
Trial summary
Fewer than 15% of hepatoma patients are suitable candidates for surgical removal of their cancer. The purpose of this protocol is to provide supervised access at Oregon Health and Science University to Y-90 treatment to provide these patients access to an alternate therapy.

About this study
Official title: A Humanitarian Device Exemption Use Protocol of TheraSphere for Treatment of Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Fewer than 15% of hepatoma patients are suitable candidates for surgical removal of their cancer. The purpose of this protocol is to provide supervised access at Oregon Health and Science University to Y-90 treatment to provide these patients access to an alternate therapy. The radioactive beads are placed directly near or into the liver tumor with the intention of destroying the tumor cells.
Read the detailed description
Patients receive Y-90 (yttrium) glass microspheres via percutaneous hepatic arterial infusion. Patients amy be retreated between 30-90 days after initial infusion. After completion of therapy, patients are followed for 30 days and then every 3 months for up to 2 years.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Yttrium 90 (TheraSphere) in people with Liver Cancer and Hepatoma, run by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute.
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 5 inclusion and 9 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 30 Sep 2022. 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.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Tumor response after treatment based on tumor marker and lab results, CT scan and patient's symptoms. (time frame: 2 weeks, 1 month and then every 3 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 30 Sep 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
