PHASE2

Brief Summary

The RESCUE trial is a prospective, single-arm clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ablative radioembolization using Yttrium-90. This treatment is being investigated as a potential cur...

Detailed Description

Patients presenting with large hepatocellular carcinoma (greater than 8 cm), whether accompanied by satellite nodules or not, but retaining good liver function, will undergo ablative radioembolization...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Adults aged 18 and over.
  • Patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma histologically and/or radiologically (LI-RADS 4 or 5).
  • Patients with no more than five lesions in dynamic contrast-enhanced CT or MRI, and the largest tumor diameter exceeding 8 cm.
  • Patients without vascular invasion and bile duct invasion in dynamic contrast-enhanced CT or MRI.
  • Patients with no extrahepatic metastasis in lung CT and contrast-enhanced abdominal CT or MRI.
  • Patients with no prior treatment for liver cancer.
  • Child-Pugh class A.
  • ECOG performance status of 1 or less.
  • Patients with no major organ dysfunction according to blood tests performed within one month of study enrollment.
  • Leukocytes ≥ 2,500/µL and ≤ 12,000/µL
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500 /mm\^3
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL (transfusion allowed to meet this criterion)
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 mg/dL
  • Platelet ≥ 50,000/µL
  • INR ≤ 2.0 for patients not taking anticoagulants
  • AST ≤ 200 IU/L (i.e., ≤ 5X upper normal limit)
  • ALT ≤ 200 IU/L (i.e., ≤ 5X upper normal limit)
  • ALP ≤ 575 IU/L (i.e., ≤ 5X upper normal limit)
  • Creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL
  • Patients with a life expectancy of more than 3 months.
  • Patients who have adequately understood the clinical trial and consented in writing.
  • Non-pregnant women of childbearing potential.

Exclusion

  • Patients who are not suitable for ablative radioembolization as indicated by pre-treatment testing with macro-aggregated albumin labeled with technetium-99 (99mTc-MAA) for radioembolization.
  • Cases where the estimated lung dose exceeds 15 Gy when 150 Gy of absorbed dose is administered to the tumor based on the partition method.
  • Cases with severe hepatic artery-portal vein shunting that might lead to irradiation of the non-tumorous liver segments.
  • Patients whose volume of non-tumorous liver not included in the treatment area is less than 30% of the total non-tumorous liver volume.
  • Patients scheduled to use immunotherapy irrespective of the response to radioembolization.
  • Patients who have had active cancer within the last two years prior to the clinical trial participation.
  • Patients who have undergone surgery or procedures related to the bile duct.
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
