NRT6003 Injection
EXPERIMENTALSelective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) with TareSphere
cTACE
ACTIVE COMPARATORTransarterial chemoembolization
Interventions
Patients will be administered NRT6003 Injection via Intra-arterial infusion, and subsequently they will be assessed by PET/CT imaging within 24 hours for its distribution in the chest and upper abdomen, including extrahepatic shunts, intrahepatic distribution, and target lesion distribution as expected.
Patients will receive cTACE treatment. And the investigators will select one or more chemotherapy drugs in combination with embolic materials for administration, based on the specific condition of the patient.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma (CNLC Ⅰa-Ⅲa) clinically, by imaging and/or pathology based on the guideline of the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China (2024).
- Evaluated by the investigator as not suitable for surgical resection/ablation/liver transplantation, or there is high risk for surgical resection, or the participant refuses surgical resection/ablation/liver transplantation.
- Child-Pugh score ≤ 7.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤ 1.
- Adequate organ function.
You may not qualify if:
- Imaging evidence or suspicion of extrahepatic metastases (including regional lymph node metastases).
- Prior antitumor treatment for primary hepatocellular carcinoma.
- Prior external radiation therapy or intra-arterial brachytherapy.
- Liver vascular evaluation results that do not meet all the requirements of the study.
