Study Summary

The objective of this pivotal study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of SIRT using SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres as first-line treatment for local control of HCC in patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage A, B1, B2, and C.

SIR-Spheres consist of biocompatible resin microspheres containing yttrium-90 (Y-90), with a size between 20 and 60 microns in diameter. Y-90 is a high-energy pure beta-emitting isotope with no primary gamma emission.

SIR-Spheres are indicated for the local tumor control of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage A, B1 and B2, maximal single lesion size of 8 cm, no macrovascular invasion, well-compensated liver function and good performance status. It is also indicated for the treatment of unresectable metastatic liver tumors from primary colorectal cancer with adjuvant intra-hepatic artery chemotherapy (IHAC) of Floxuridine (FUDR).

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  2. Prior systemic anti-cancer therapy (including immunotherapy and/or targetedtherapy), radiotherapy or use of other investigational agents for the treatment ofHCC

  3. Intrahepatic arteriovenous shunting (arteriovenous shunting resulting from a biopsyis allowed but must be embolized during the pre-treatment mapping procedure)

  4. Incompetent biliary duct system, prior biliary intervention or a compromised Ampullaof Vater

  5. Planned localized cancer treatment to the liver, other than the study treatment,throughout the duration of the study.

  6. Planned systemic cancer treatment throughout the duration of the study

  7. Patients with portal vein thrombosis

  8. Patients with extrahepatic disease

  9. Patients with contraindications to angiography and selective visceralcatheterization

  10. Evidence of extrahepatic collateral supply to the tumor

  11. Evidence of potential delivery of mean radiation dose > 30 Gy to the lungs (singletreatment)

  12. Evidence of any detectable 99m Tc-macroaggregated albumin (99m Tc-MAA) flow outsideof the liver in the abdomen, after application of established angiographictechniques to stop or mitigate such flow (e.g., placing catheter distal to gastricvessels or coiling)

  13. Evidence that < 33% of the total liver volume is disease-free and will be sparedSIR-Spheres treatment

  14. Prior liver resection and/or liver transplant, with exception for patients withprior resection who meet inclusion criterion 6a

  15. Female patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or premenopausal and unwilling touse an effective method of contraception through the 1-year follow-up; malesunwilling to use effective method of contraception for 30 days post-procedure

  16. Medical history of clotting disorders

  17. Underlying pulmonary disease requiring chronic oxygen therapy

  18. Evidence of portal hypertension with ascites as seen on cross-sectional imaging orany history of prior variceal bleeding within 6 months prior to screening

  22. Patients with drug or alcohol dependency (within 6 months prior to study entry) inthe opinion of the investigator

  23. History of severe allergy or intolerance to contrast agents, narcotics, or sedatives

  24. Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with safedelivery of the study treatment or with the interpretation of study results

Study Description

The investigation is a pivotal, prospective, multicenter, open-label single arm study evaluating treatment with hepatic arterial injection of SIR-Spheres.

Up to 100 subjects will be treated (up to 150 consented) at up to 30 clinical sites in the United States.

The population for this study includes patients diagnosed with HCC BCLC stage A, B1, B2, and C with maximal single lesion size of ≤ 8cm and who are not considered suitable for treatment by resection or eligible for ablation at time of study entry.
