Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Feasibility -DaRT seed placement
Feasibility will be determined according to the Rate of successful placement of DaRT seeds via imaging
immediately following the insertion procedure
Safety- Adverse events
Safety will be determined according to the overall incidence of device related SAE'sgraded according to CTCAE v5.0 criteria
From Day 0
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Efficacy - Control evaluation
3,6,12 and 24 months
Study Arms (1)
DaRT Seeds
EXPERIMENTALIntratumoral Diffusing alpha-emitters Radiation Therapy (DaRT) Seeds
Interventions
An intratumoral insertion of radioactive sources \[Ra-224 containing stainless-steel 316LVM tubes- (Alpha DaRT seeds)\]. The seeds release by recoil into the tumor short-lived alpha-emitting atoms
