Liver-PILP First-in-Man (PILP FiM)

March 28, 2013 updated by: Medical Device Works NV SA

First In-vivo Trial of the Liver Percutaneous Isolated Localized Perfusion (PILP) Set for the Treatment of Liver Metastases

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the PILP-kit can be safely used, within specific performance parameters, to isolate and perfuse the liver with a chemotherapeutic drug for the treatment of patients with unresectable liver metastases.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Liver-PILP kit

Device: Liver-PILP kit The Liver-PILP kit (three devices) is composed of percutaneous, disposable (single-use), catheter-based devices for targeted, isolated, organ specific (liver), drug delivery and perfusion with high dose drugs.

  1. The Portal Vein Device (PVD): balloon catheter to occlude the portal vein and allow aspiration through a central lumen for portal veno-venous bypass.
  2. The Hepatic Artery Device (HAD): balloon catheter to occlude arterial flow to the liver.
  3. The Vena Cava Device (VCD): catheter based device to isolate and access hepatic outflow to vena cava by creating a closed chamber in vena cava at ostia of the hepatic veins while maintaining central vena cava blood flow from lower extremities to right atrium through reduced central lumen.
