Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this pivotal study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of SIRT using SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres as first-line treatment for local control of HCC in patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage A, B1, B2, and C.

SIR-Spheres consist of biocompatible resin microspheres containing yttrium-90 (Y-90), with a size between 20 and 60 microns in diameter. Y-90 is a high-energy pure beta-emitting isotope with no primary gamma emission.

SIR-Spheres are indicated for the local tumor control of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage A, B1 and B2, maximal single lesion size of 8 cm, no macrovascular invasion, well-compensated liver function and good performance status. It is also indicated for the treatment of unresectable metastatic liver tumors from primary colorectal cancer with adjuvant intra-hepatic artery chemotherapy (IHAC) of Floxuridine (FUDR).

Description:

The investigation is a pivotal, prospective, multicenter, open-label single arm study evaluating treatment with hepatic arterial injection of SIR-Spheres.

Up to 100 subjects will be treated (up to 150 consented) at up to 30 clinical sites in the United States.

The population for this study includes patients diagnosed with HCC BCLC stage A, B1, B2, and C with maximal single lesion size of ≤ 8cm and who are not considered suitable for treatment by resection or eligible for ablation at time of study entry.

4. Incompetent biliary duct system, prior biliary intervention or a compromised Ampulla of Vater

5. Planned localized cancer treatment to the liver, other than the study treatment, throughout the duration of the study.

10. Evidence of extrahepatic collateral supply to the tumor

11. Evidence of potential delivery of mean radiation dose > 30 Gy to the lungs (single treatment)

12. Evidence of any detectable 99m Tc-macroaggregated albumin (99m Tc-MAA) flow outside of the liver in the abdomen, after application of established angiographic techniques to stop or mitigate such flow (e.g., placing catheter distal to gastric vessels or coiling)

13. Evidence that < 33% of the total liver volume is disease-free and will be spared SIR-Spheres treatment

14. Prior liver resection and/or liver transplant, with exception for patients with prior resection who meet inclusion criterion 6a

15. Female patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or premenopausal and unwilling to use an effective method of contraception through the 1-year follow-up; males unwilling to use effective method of contraception for 30 days post-procedure

16. Medical history of clotting disorders

17. Underlying pulmonary disease requiring chronic oxygen therapy

18. Evidence of portal hypertension with ascites as seen on cross-sectional imaging or any history of prior variceal bleeding within 6 months prior to screening

19. Concurrently enrolled in another study unless it is an observational, noninterventional study

20. Active infection (hepatitis B (HBV) infection with ongoing HBV treatment and successfully treated hepatitis C infection are allowed)

21. History of other cancer with current active treatment

22. Patients with drug or alcohol dependency (within 6 months prior to study entry) in the opinion of the investigator

23. History of severe allergy or intolerance to contrast agents, narcotics, or sedatives

24. Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with safe delivery of the study treatment or with the interpretation of study results

Intervention

Device:
• Resin microspheres containing yttrium-90 (Y-90)
Biocompatible resin microspheres are an injectable permanent implant and preferentially placed into the distal microvascular supply of tumors to provide direct irradiation of tissue and destruction of the microvascular bed. Spheres contain yttrium-90 (Y-90) and are a size between 20 and 60 microns in diameter.
