Instylla HES Hypervascular Tumor Pivotal Study
Randomized Multi-Center, Subject and Evaluator Blinded, Parallel-Group Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of the Instylla Hydrogel Embolic System (HES) Compared With Standard of Care Transcatheter Arterial Embolization (TAE) / Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (cTACE) for Vascular Occlusion of Hypervascular Tumors; A Pivotal Study

Brief Summary
To determine whether Instylla HES has the ability to effectively embolize targeted arterial segments of hypervascular tumors as well as (i.e., is non-inferior to) standard of care (SOC) transarterial embolization/conventional transarterial chemoembolization, while resulting in an acceptable risk of device and procedure-related serious adverse events.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: Delivery of the embolic agent to the index tumor feeding vessel with stasis of flow as determined by an independent radiologist via comparison of the pre and final post procedure images
Stasis of flow defined as absence of contrast flow within the targeted tumor feeding vessel
Immediately post-embolization procedure
Primary Safety Endpoint: Freedom from major adverse events through 30 days post-index procedure
30 days post-embolization procedure
Study Arms (2)
Instylla HES
EXPERIMENTALControl
ACTIVE COMPARATORTAE or cTACE
Interventions
Instylla HES is a novel liquid embolic made of primarily water and polyethylene glycol (PEG)
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Male or female subjects age ≥ 22 years old
- Subjects with confirmed finding of hypervascular tumor on CT and/or MRI for whom TAE or cTACE is medically indicated, including but not limited to:
- Subjects with unresectable primary or metastatic hepatic cancer
- Subjects with primary, metastatic or benign renal tumors
- Subjects with bone metastases
- Subjects with adrenal tumors
- Subjects with other hypervascular tumors
- Subjects with at least one target lesion that is well-delineated such that, in the Investigator's opinion, the lesion can be measured in at least one dimension as 1 cm or more, suitable for remeasurement, and demonstrating definitive arterial enhancement (Note: Pre-operative tumors do not need to meet this criterion.)
- Subjects with at least one target vessel ≤ 5mm and Instylla HES can be delivered to the target vessel(s).
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of 0-2 (PS 0-1 for metastatic disease)
- Subject or authorized representative have been informed of the nature of the study and has provided written informed consent approved by the appropriate local Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board and agrees to comply with all protocol specified follow-up appointments.
- Expected life expectancy ≥ 6 months after Index embolization
You may not qualify if:
- Embolization for lesions other than hypervascular tumors such as arteriovenous malformations.
- It is anticipated that not all target vessels requiring embolization during the index procedure can be embolized with either HES alone or the SOC embolization agent as assigned.
- Undergoing radioembolization or DEB-TACE for Index Procedure
- Undergoing a planned secondary procedure the same day as the Index Procedure
- Requires TAE/cTACE for liver tumors via extrahepatic collateral artery(ies)
- Prior radioembolization of the target tumor lesion/vascular bed within 30 days of the Index Procedure.
- For subjects with HCC or undergoing embolization to the liver: Child-Pugh Class C or presence of complete portal vein thrombosis.
- Tumor lesions \> 8 cm in diameter (in one direction) or \>50% tumor volume burden of the target organ
- If subject was treated with Avastin, last dose is within 4 weeks of the planned procedure.
- Known severe atheromatosis or vascular anatomy that precludes catheterization
- Presence of bilioenteric anastomoses and/or prior biliary stenting/drainage or any violation of the biliary sphincter, including sphincterotomy for embolization of liver tumors
- Target lesion supplied by the pulmonary artery, coronary artery, or cerebral or cerebellar artery (requiring embolization of these arteries) or the artery to be embolized has connections to these arteries via a collateral pathway
- Known allergies (based on history) to PEG, ferrous compounds, tert Butyl Hydroperoxide, contrast media or procedural sedatives/anesthetics that is not amenable to pre-medication
- Uncorrectable impaired clotting: Platelet count \<30,000/µL or International Normalized Ratio (INR) \> 1.5
- Serum creatinine \> 2 mg/dL
- +6 more criteria
