About this study

Official title: Randomized Prospective Two-Arm Feasibility Trial of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Versus Yttrium-90 Segmentectomy in Inoperable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

This phase II trial tests whether Y-90 segmentectomy (internal radiation) versus stereotactic body radiation therapy (external radiation) is more optimal in treating inoperable liver cancer. Y-90 segmentectomy consists into very tiny radioactive glass beads that can be injected into the liver through the blood vessels supplying the liver. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver external radiation to tumors with high precision. This study many help doctors determine which treatment, Y-90 segmentectomy or SBRT, works better in treating liver cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. Determine feasibility of trial enrollment (enrollment date).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To assess differences in overall survival, local control, time to intrahepatic progression, time to next treatment, rate of liver transplant, toxicity, and patient reported complications and quality of life.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

  1. Compare cumulative cost of treatment-related medical care at 13 months.

OUTLINE: Patients will be randomized in 1 of 2 arms.

Arm I: Patients undergo SBRT every other day for a total of 5 days over 2 weeks.

Arm II: Patients receive Y-90 radioembolization via injection on day 1.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 2, 4, and 12 weeks and then every 3 months for 13 months.

Being tested
Quality of Life, Questionnaire Administration, Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy, Yttrium-90 Microsphere Radioembolization
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of enrollment (enrollment rate)

    Determine feasibility of trial enrollment for two therapeutic groups.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes (8)

  1. Overall survival

    Measured: Death, adjuvant systemic therapy or liver directed therapy to treated lesion, transplant, lost to follow up, or 13 months post-treatment

  2. Time to progression

    Measured: Time of radiographic evidence of treated tumor progression as determined by tumor board review, adjuvant systemic therapy or liver directed therapy to treated lesion, transplant, death, or 13 months post-treatment

  3. Time to intrahepatic progression

    Measured: Time of radiographic intrahepatic progression, adjuvant systemic therapy or liver directed therapy, transplant, death, or 13 months post-treatment

  4. Rate of liver transplant

    Measured: Time of liver transplant, death, or 13 months post-treatment

  5. Rate of non-classic radiation induced liver disease

    Defined as a Child-Pugh criteria >= 2 point increase.

    Measured: Up to 13 months

  6. Rate of patient reported outcome-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events

    Measured: Baseline up to 13 months

  7. Change in patient reported quality of life

    Measured by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Hepatobilliary Cancer compared to baseline.

    Measured: Baseline to 13 months

  8. Time to next treatment

    Measured: Time to next liver directed or non-adjuvant systemic therapy, transplant, or death, assessed up to 13 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Quality of Life, Questionnaire Administration and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in people with Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Stage I Hepatocellular Carcinoma AJCC v8, 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 7 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Mar 2023. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Feasibility of enrollment (enrollment rate) (time frame: Up to 4 years). 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 NCT05157451.

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 23 Mar 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
