Optimizing Y90 Therapy for Radiation Lobectomy

Yttrium-90 Radiation Lobectomy: Dose Optimization and Prediction of FLR Hypertrophy to Enable Resection of HCC


Sponsor

Northwestern University

Enrollment

104 participants

Start Date

Jul 17, 2020

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

HCC resection candidates with inadequate future liver remnant will be enrolled in this study. They will be treated with Y90 radioembolization to help grow the liver enough to undergo liver resection. There will be 2 Patient Groups. The first group of patients will be treated with Y90 dose and embolic load as per standard-of-care. The second group of patients will be treated with the optimal Y90 dose and embolic load found in Patient Group 1.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study aims to optimize Y-90 radioembolization (a procedure that delivers radiation beads directly to liver tumors through blood vessels) for people with hepatocellular carcinoma (primary liver cancer) who need a specific approach called radiation lobectomy — where one side of the liver is treated to encourage the other side to grow before major surgery. **You may be eligible if...** - You have confirmed liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), either by biopsy or meeting standard imaging criteria - Your liver disease is at the less advanced stage (Child-Pugh A) - The remaining portion of your liver after planned treatment is less than 40% of total liver volume - Your overall health is good (ECOG 0-1) - Your blood counts and kidney function are within acceptable ranges **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are pregnant - You have significant cancer that has spread outside the liver - You have HIV, active hepatitis B or C (acute) - You are on dialysis or have another condition that makes Y-90 treatment unsafe - For Group 2 participants: you have contraindications to MRI (such as pacemakers, certain metal implants, severe claustrophobia, or kidney problems) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
