Chemoembolization for Lung Tumors

Phase I Study of Transarterial Chemoembolization of Lung Metastases

This study is being done to determine if it is safe to perform lung chemoembolization and if the lung chemoembolization procedure can successfully deliver chemotherapy to lung tumors.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• Lung, endobronchial, pleural, or mediastinal metastases that are not responding to systemic chemotherapy, and that are not amenable to ablation, resection, or SBRT.
• At least 18 years old.
• ECOG performance status 0 or 1

Exclusion Criteria:

• Primary lung cancer
• >50% of a lung is replaced with tumor
• Oxygen saturation <92% on room air
• FEV1 <60%
• Pulmonary hypertension (diagnosed or suspected on echocardiography, CT, MRI, or direct pressure measurement)
• Recent pulmonary embolism (within 3 months)
• Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation
• Active lung infection (pneumonia, empyema, or lung abscess requiring therapy within 1 month)
• Symptomatic heart failure (dyspnea, volume overload)
• Left bundle branch block (contraindication to pulmonary angiography)
• Renal failure (eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m^2)
• Pregnancy
• Breastfeeding
• Altered mental status that would interfere with consent or follow-up
• Platelets < 100,000 (after transfusion, if needed)
• INR>2 (after transfusion, if needed)
• Hemoglobin <7 (after transfusion, if needed)
• Hyperthyroidism (contraindication to lipiodol)
• Planned radioactive iodine imaging or therapy (contraindication to lipiodol)
• Allergy to lipiodol or mitomycin
• Allergy to iodinated contrast that can not be treated with steroid / diphenhydramine premedication
• Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with evaluation of the investigational product or interpretation of subject safety or study results

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Lung, Endobronchial, Mediastinal or Pleural Metastases; Participants will have unresectable and unablatable lung, endobronchial, mediastinal, or pleural metastases (from any primary) that are not responding to chemotherapy

Procedure: Chemoembolization; Chemoembolization will be performed via the artery (bronchial, non-bronchial systemic, or pulmonary) that shows the greatest tumor enhancement on angiography. Chemoembolization will be performed using a lipiodol / mitomycin emulsion, followed by spherical particles.; Drug: Mitomycin C; Mitomycin (5mg/m^2,maximum mitomycin dose 20 mg) will be dissolved in lipiodol at 2 mg/ml on the day of procedure.; Drug: Lipiodol; Mitomycin (5mg/m^2,maximum mitomycin dose 20 mg) will be dissolved in lipiodol at 2 mg/ml on the day of procedure.; Drug: Embospheres; Embospheres are non-resorbable spherical microspheres (trisacryl gelatin) that are FDA-approved for embolization of hypervascular tumors.
