Radioactive beads show promise for liver tumors in french registry
NCT ID NCT03256994
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed registry tracked 332 liver cancer patients in France who received SIR-Spheres, tiny radioactive beads injected into the liver's blood supply to target tumors. The goal was to see how this treatment is used in everyday practice and to monitor safety and survival. Results will help guide future use and reimbursement decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Yttrium-90 loaded SIR-Spheres microspheres (radioactive beads delivered via catheter to liver tumors)
- What this could lead to
- If results are positive, this could confirm that SIR-Spheres are a safe and effective option for controlling liver tumors in real-world practice.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by patient selection and other treatments.
