Clinical Trial Summary
Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT), also known as radioembolisation, is a minimal
invasive, endovascular treatment for primary and secondary liver tumours. In France,
SIR-Spheres are listed as reimbursable by the national health authorities (Haute Autorité de
Santé [HAS]). In order to evaluate the reimbursement after five years, all patients treated
with SIR-Spheres will be entered into a registry that collects data on the real-life clinical
application of SIRT and reports to the national authorities.
Description:
Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), also called radioembolisation (RE), with
SIR-Spheres microspheres is an endovascular procedure, included within the interventional
oncologic technologies to treat primary and secondary liver tumours. Using a microcatheter, a
precise dose of resin microspheres is released in the hepatic artery, where they are carried
into the arterioles and selectively lodge in the tumour microvasculature. The microspheres
are loaded with the radioactive yttrium-90, a high-energy beta-emitting isotope with a
half-life of 64.1 hours. Following administration, 94% of the radiation is delivered in 11
days.
In France, SIR-Spheres are listed as reimbursable by the national health authorities (Haute
Autorité de Santé [HAS]). In order to evaluate the reimbursement after five years, all
patients treated with SIR-Spheres will be entered into a registry that collects data on the
real-life clinical application of SIRT and reports to the national authorities.
The goal of the research project is to gain a better understanding of the real-life clinical
application of radioembolisation with SIR-Spheres and the impact of the treatment in clinical
practice. Secondary objectives will be to assess the observed treatment outcomes of SIRT with
SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres in terms of safety, effectiveness, quality of life,
technical considerations and diagnosis and treatment-related considerations.
To better understand the palliative aspect of the treatment, acquisition of the change in
quality of life is included by means of EORTC's validated quality of life questionnaire QLQ
C30 with accompanying HCC module to measure quality of life in patients with hepatocellular
carcinoma.
Besides data collection on the initial treatment, it will be advised to collect follow-up
data and quality of life data every three months for a minimum of 24 months after treatment.
CIRT-FR is a post-market, prospective, non-randomized, observational study. Patients are only
asked to be enrolled when they are treated with SIR-Spheres microspheres as part of their
treatment determined by the treating clinician. In no way will participation of the patient
in the registry impact their treatment plan, or influence the quality of the treatment.
