Selective Internal Radiation Therapy and 188Re-SSS Lipiodol Treatment for Liver Cancer (Lip-Re2) (Lip-Re2)

March 17, 2026 updated by: Center Eugene Marquis

Efficacy Evaluation of 188Re-SSS Lipiodol Selective Internal Radiation Therapy of Non Operable Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients, a Phase II Study

The goal of this monocentric interventional study is to evaluate the efficacy, in terms of objective response rate, of the 188Re-SSS lipiodol SIRT in patients with non-operable HCC.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study is an open-labelled treatment administration study conducted with an exact one-stage one-arm study plan.

The study plans to included 35 patients and to treated 26 patients (take into account screen failures and SIRT contraindications).

The treatment is delivered by a one-day procedure leading to the injection of 188Re-SSS lipiodol. In details, the patient is hospitalized for one night. Two steps are performed while the patient is hospitalized: the pre-treatment simulation step and the treatment step itself.

After treatment, patients are followed until progression, new systemic or locoregional (in the same treatment area) antineoplastic therapy or death, within a maximum 24-month period following the SIRT.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: 188Re-SSS lipiodol SIRT
Patients in the experimental arm will be treated with 188Re-SSS lipiodol Selective Internal Radiotherapy (SIRT).

The treatment with 188Re-SSS lipiodol SIRT requires two steps during the patient's hospitalization: the pre-treatment simulation step and the treatment step itself.

Pre-therapeutic simulation is performed during the screening phase, before definite patient inclusion, and is composed of two procedures: a diagnostic liver angiography and a liver perfusion scintigraphy (MAA scan and SPECT/CT).

The therapeutic stage is also composed of two procedures a therapeutic liver angiography with 188Re-SSS lipiodol and a 188Re-SSS lipiodol SPECT/CT.
