Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine if the type of catheter used in the mapping procedure prior to radioembolization improves the delivery of radioactivity to tumor(s) in participants with liver cancer. The name of the devices involved in this study are:

  • Pressure Enabled Drug Delivery (PEDD)/TriNav Infusion System
  • Standard 2.4F microcatheter, not otherwise specified

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Radiotracer distribution

    The primary endpoint of the study is radiotracer distribution, as measured by tumor to normal liver (T:N) ratio. Using SPECT/CT images collected subsequent to radiotracer delivery in mapping procedures, the volumetric tumor to normal liver (T:N) ratio of 99mTc-MAA distribution will be calculated using advanced imaging processing software, such as MIM SurePlan MRT. The T:N ratio of 99mTc-MAA delivered via the standard microcatheter will be compared to the PEDD device for each patient. The T:N ratio will be calculated for each tumor as well as in aggregate for the three largest tumors as described in Section 12.

    Up to 2 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Mapping procedure comparison of Tumor to Normal (T:N) ratio between standard microcatheter and pressure-enabled delivery catheter

    Up to 2 years

  • Technical success of radiotracer delivery as measured by ability to deliver radiotracer

    Up to 2 years

Study Arms (2)

Sequence A: Standard microcatheter for Mapping #1 and PEDD device for Mapping #2.

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants with either hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or colorectal liver metastases tumors receiving standard of care radioembolization treatment will be randomly assigned to undergo a routine mapping procedure first using a standard microcatheter 2-21 days before their radioembolization treatment day. Then on day of radioembolization treatment, an extra mapping procedure using the PEDD device catheter will be done just prior to the treatment.

Sequence B: PEDD device for Mapping #1 and standard microcatheter for Mapping #2.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Known HCC or CLM that are not amenable to curative resection or thermal ablative techniques such as microwave ablation.
  • Prior clinical decision for treatment by radioembolization.
  • Disease that is visible on CT or MRI as well as measurable disease in the liver. Measurable is defined as at least one lesion in the expected treatment field that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter) as (≥1 cm) with CT scan or MRI.
  • Age ≥18 years. Because there is limited data with respect to radioembolization in patients \<18 years of age with respect to tumor dosimetry and associated adverse events participants \<18 years of age, children are excluded from this study.
  • ECOG performance status \< 2 (Karnofsky ≥60%, see Appendix A).
  • Life expectancy \>16 weeks.
  • Suitable target artery diameter(s), defined in the TriNav labelling as 1.5 to 3.5mm vessels, based upon pre-procedural imaging.
  • Adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
  • International Normalized Ratio (INR): ≤ 1.5
  • Hemoglobin: ≥ 8.5 g/dL
  • Leukocytes: ≥2,000/mcL
  • Absolute neutrophil count: ≥1,00/mcL
  • Platelets: ≥50,000/mcL(after transfusion, if necessary)
  • Total bilirubin: ≤2.0 mg/dL
  • Albumin: ≥3 g/dL
  • +7 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study.
  • Unresolved toxicities related to cancer therapy that the investigator will continue and compromise patient safety.
  • History of hepatic encephalopathy; history of severe peripheral allergy or intolerance to contrast agents, narcotics, sedatives, or atropine that cannot be managed medically.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness.
  • Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Prior external beam radiation treatment to the liver or prior intra-arterial liver-directed therapy including transarterial bland embolization, chemoembolization or radioembolization.
  • Contraindications to angiography and selective visceral catheterization, including bleeding diathesis or uncorrectable coagulopathy.
  • \> 50% of tumor involvement of the liver.
  • Receipt of intervention for the Ampulla of Vater or compromise thereof.
  • Child-Pugh B8 or greater.
  • Evidence of thrombosis in the main portal vein.
  • For CLM patients: evidence of cirrhosis or portal hypertension.
  • For CLM: Clinically-evident ascites other than trace noted on imaging.
