About this study

Official title: Safety Profile Assessment of TheraSphere® Yttrium-90 Glass Microspheres Used for Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Pilot Study

This is a prospective pilot study that will document the clinical experience of 30 patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing liver-directed therapy with Yttrium-90 glass microspheres (TheraSphere®).

Being tested
Selective internal radiation therapy of the liver with Yttrium-90 glass microspheres (TheraSphere)
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Adverse events of treatment with TheraSphere Yttrium-90 glass microspheres will be assessed within 6 months of treatment administration. Anticipated adverse events may include liver dysfunction, gastrointestinal ulcer formation, cholecystitis, pneumonitis, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Radiographic Response by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1

    Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) as assessed by MRI or CT:

    up to 5 lesions at baseline and sum longest diameters (SLD).

    • Complete Response (CR), -Target Lesions: Disappearance of all target lesions. -Non-target Lesions: disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level.
    • Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions;
    • Stable Disease (SD) < %30 decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.
    • Progressive Disease (PD) -Target Lesions: > 20% increase in the SLD taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded since the treatment started (nadir) and minimum 5 mm increase over the nadir non-target lesions: Overall level of substantial worsening in non-target disease such that, even in presence of SD or PR in target disease, the overall tumor burden has increased sufficiently to merit discontinuation of therapy

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Selective internal radiation therapy of the liver with Yttrium-90 glass microspheres (TheraSphere) in people with Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by University of California, San Francisco 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 6 inclusion and 15 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2019. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Aug 2015). 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 Adverse Events (time frame: 6 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 13 May 2019.
