Perflutren Protein-Type A Microspheres and Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in Improving Response to Radioembolization Therapy in Patients With Liver Cancer
Ultrasound Microbubble Destruction and Perfusion Quantification for Improving Radioembolization Therapy of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Characterize the ability of localized ultrasound contrast agent destruction to improve hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) response to yttrium Y-90 (Y90) radioembolization.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Determine if contrast-enhanced ultrasound estimated tumor perfusion can reliably predict HCC response to radioembolization 1-14 days post treatment.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.
GROUP I: Patients receive perflutren protein-type A microspheres intravenously (IV) over 10 minutes and undergo contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) over 60 minutes at 1-6 hours and at approximately 7 and 14 days after yttrium Y-90 radioembolization.
GROUP II: Patients undergo standard of care yttrium Y-90 radioembolization.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 month and at 3-4 months.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Treatment response to yttrium Y-90 radioembolization
Time Frame: Up to 4 months
|
Measured using the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors.
Will be tested with a non-parametric Mann- Whitney U-test of the difference in response distributions between control (radioembolization alone) and experimental group (ultrasound-triggered microbubble destruction [UTMD] + radioembolization).
The outcome variable in this analysis, the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) score, is treated as an ordinal variable in this analysis.
|
Up to 4 months
|
Tumor perfusion measured by contrast-enhanced ultrasound between ultrasound-triggered microbubble destruction pulses
Time Frame: Up to 14 days
|
Perfusion will be characterized in terms of contrast replenishment time intensity curves fit with a 2-parameter exponential recovery curve.
The relationship between the normalized perfusion values from this image processing and the patients' subsequent mRECIST scores in the UTMD + radioembolization group will be evaluated with Spearman's rank order correlation.
|
Up to 14 days
