About this study
Official title: Observational, Multicenter Study to Further Confirm The Efficacy and Safety of QuiremSpheres® (Holmium-166 Microspheres) Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) in Unresectable Liver Cancer Patients.
The main purpose of this study is to further assess treatment efficacy and safety after using QuiremSpheres® for the treatment of patients with unresectable primary liver cancer or unresectable liver metastases suitable for SIRT and allocated to this treatment by a multidisciplinary tumor board.
Read the detailed description
Liver tumors can be of primary (Hepatocellular Carcinoma, HCC) or metastatic (mainly from colorectal carcinoma, CRC) origin. Both HCC and CRC are common causes of death from cancer worldwide. The overall incidence of HCC and CRC remains high in developing countries and is steadily rising in most industrialized countries. Available treatment options depend on the size, number, and location of tumors, on liver status, overall performance status and comorbidities, on patency of portal vein and presence of extrahepatic metastatic disease. They include surgical (liver resection, liver transplantation), systemic (e.g. chemotherapy, immunotherapy), ablative (thermal ablation, chemical ablation) and intra-arterial (chemoembolization, radioembolization) modalities. Radioembolization, also known as Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) with microspheres containing a radiation-emitting isotope (Yttrium-90 or Holmium-166) delivers localized radiation in the vasculature around liver tumors with relatively limited concurrent injury to the surrounding normal/healthy tissue. Yttrium-90 radioembolization is currently included in several guidelines (EASLEORTC, ESMO).

Selective Internal Radiation Therapy with QuiremSpheres®Device
Also called SIRT, Radioembolization
The main purpose of this study is to further assess treatment efficacy and safety after using QuiremSpheres® for the treatment of patients with unresectable primary liver cancer or unresectable liver metastases suitable for SIRT and allocated to this treatment by a multidisciplinary tumor board.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Tumor response
- Tumor response in the liver
- Tumor response in liver for overall population and each tumor type, assessed 3 months after SIRT has been completed as per routine practice following the corresponding guidelines for each tumor type (e.g. RECIST, mRECIST, EASL)
Measured: 3 months
Safety
- Frequency and Severity of Adverse Events
- Safety will be evaluated by monitoring and recording the grade 3, 4 and 5 adverse events (AE) and all adverse device effects (ADE) occurring during and after treatment throughout follow up of patients. Severity of adverse events will be rated following the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. Safety assessment will also be based on routine blood tests with an emphasis on the liver function parameters obtained at baseline, after the SIRT procedure and throughout the follow up period.
Measured: 12 months
Secondary outcomes (4)
Time to progression in liver and overall
Time from SIRT procedure until progression in liver / overall progression
Measured: 12 months
Progression free survival in liver and overall
Time from SIRT procedure until progression in liver / overall progression or death.
Measured: 12 months
Overall survival rate
Time from SIRT procedure until death from any cause
Measured: 12 months
Percentage of patients downstaged to surgery, transplantation or any local ablative therapy (RFA/MWA…)
Number of patients that after the SIRT procedure underwent a surgery or transplantation
Measured: 12 months

The study was stopped early (reason given: did not meet planned recruitment expectations with a slow recruitment rate). Results are not available in the source record.
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 (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Mar 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
