Response of Hepatic Tumors to Radioembolization (RESRAD)

June 8, 2015 updated by: University of Zurich

Radiologic, Histologic and Immunologic Response to Radioembolization of Hepatic Tumors

The study enrolls patients with non-resectable or borderline resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intraheaptic choalngiocarcinoma (IHCC) or colorectal cancer metastasis. Patients are not a candidates for liver transplantation and have only limited extrahepatic disease. All patients are treated with radioembolization. Primary endpoint is the percentage of patients that can be downstaged to resectability.

Secondary endpoints are radiologic response to radioembolization,tissue response to radiomembolization and systemic immune response and intra-tumoral T-cell response to radioembolization.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Withdrawn

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion criteria: - Patients already considered for radioembolization fulfil criteria to be included in the study. If radioembolization is not considered by the tumor board, inclusion in the study should not be considered.

- Non-resectable or borderline resectable liver tumors (HCC, CRCM or CCC) as as-sessed by a multidisciplinary tumor-board. Non-resectability or borderline resectablily is based closeness to essential nonresectable structures (f.e. the portal vein bifurca- tion or hepatic vein trifurcation) or insufficient liver volume after resection, general performance status of the patient.

Chemotherapy (mostly applicable to CRCM) should be termininated at least 4 weeks prior to enrolling patients in the study.

  • Concomitant manoevers to manipulate liver volume like portal vein embolization or ligation and two-stage resections are allowed
  • Male or female patients 18-99 years of age
  • Presentation of the case at the Multidisciplinary Meeting attended by hepatobiliary surgeons, oncologists, hepatologists and radiologists
  • Written informed consent given by the patient
  • Adequate liver function or kidney function tests, including any of the following. It is possible to perform endoscopic or percutaneous stent placement to achieve normal-isation of laboratory parameters.
  • Women who are not breastfeeding and are using effective contraception if sexually active, who are not pregnant and agree not to become pregnant during the 12 months thereaf-ter. A negative pregnancy test before inclusion into the trial is required for women < 50 years. Men who agree not to father a child during participation in the trial or during the 12 months thereafter.
  • Effective contraception

Patient compliance and geographic proximity

Exclusion criteria: -Patients with no clinical indications for radioembolization (resectable tumors, no need for downsizing)

  • contraindications on ethical grounds,
  • women who are pregnant or breast feeding,
  • significant concomitant disease states (e.g., renal failure, hepatic dysfunction, cardi-ovascular disease, etc) as based on above mentioned labaratory values or preopera-tive cardiac assessment making the patient unsuitable for major surgery known or suspected non-compliance, drug or alcohol abuse, enrolment into a clinical trial within last 4 weeks, extrahepatic tumor burden, as evaluated by PET/CT or chest CT. Potentially resectable small lung nodules or hilar lymphadenopathy by CT or PET in case of MCRC mandate systemic chemotherapy prior to enrolment into this trial if not already performed. The patient may be en-rolled into this trial to be downstaged by radioembolization after finishing systemic chemotherapy.
  • Anatomic variant in arteriogram which prevents selective delivery of the chemother-apy to the liver (discussed within group of principal investigators)
  • Life expectancy < 3 months
  • Candidacy for liver transplantation in the case of HCC

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure

Time Frame: 2012 to 2015
2012 to 2015

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
