Overview
This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Eye90 microspheres® in the treatment of subjects with unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Eye90 microspheres is a medical device containing yttrium-90 (Y-90), a radioactive material, and provides local radiation brachytherapy for the treatment of liver tumors.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Must have a confirmed diagnosis of HCC by imaging confirmation with Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LIRADS) category 5 or confirmation of HCC via biopsy.
- No extra hepatic disease.
- Up to 3 lesions with at least one lesion ≥ 2 cm in diameter (long axis) measurable by computed tomography (CT), CBCT, or MRI. At least one lesion must be identified as a target lesion as defined by mRECIST.
- Maximal single lesion size of ≤ 8 cm and sum of the maximal tumor dimensions of ≤ 12 cm with the entire tumor burden expected to be treatable within the perfused volume.
- Intent to treat all lesions within a single session.
- Hypervascular on CBCT, CT, or MRI.
- Evidence that > 33% of the total liver volume is disease-free and will be spared Eye90 treatment.
- Life expectancy of ≥ 6 months.
- ≥ 18 years old at the time of informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Platelet count <50,000/microliter or prothrombin (PT) activity > 50% normal.
- Hemoglobin ≤ 8.5 g/dL (subjects that are non-responders to transfusion or medical management must be excluded).
- INR > 1.7 (if anticoagulated, reversal must be achieved prior to any angiographic procedures).
- ALT > 5x upper limit.
- AST > 5x upper limit.
- Bilirubin ≥ 2.0 mg/dL.
- eGFR ≤ 50 mL/min/BSA.
- Macrovascular invasion.
- Incompetent biliary duct system, prior biliary intervention, or a compromised Ampulla of Vater.
- Estimated lung dose > 30 Gy as calculated using the lung shunt fraction and partition model.
