Radioactive seeds aim to boost tumor control in patients with 6-10 metastases
NCT ID NCT07333664
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether adding image-guided radioactive seed implants to standard cancer therapy can improve disease control in patients with 6 to 10 metastatic tumors. About 120 adults with solid tumors that have spread will be randomly assigned to receive either standard therapy alone or standard therapy plus the seed implants. The study will measure progression-free survival, overall survival, safety, and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Iodine-125 radioactive seeds
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new way to control multiple metastatic tumors by combining standard drugs with targeted radiation implants.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 2 study with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure carries risks like radiation exposure or damage to nearby organs.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years. * Histologically or cytologically confirmed malignant solid tumor with metastatic disease. * Presence of more than five and up to ten (6-10) extracranial metastatic lesions, identified on CT or PET/CT imaging and assessable by RECIST version 1.1 (and/or PERCIST when PET imaging is used). * At least one metastatic lesion considered suitable for image-guided iodine-125 (125I) seed implantation according to institutional assessment. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2. * Adequate organ function to undergo interventional procedures and systemic therapy, as determined by institutional standards. * Ability to understand and willingness to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Diffuse or unstable central nervous system involvement, including leptomeningeal disease or uncontrolled/symptomatic brain metastases requiring immediate local intervention. * Medical conditions that preclude safe interventional procedures, including uncontrolled infection, severe cardiopulmonary dysfunction, or other serious systemic illness, as judged by the investigator. * Contraindications to percutaneous implantation, such as uncorrectable coagulation disorders, high bleeding risk, lack of a safe needle path, or unacceptable risk to critical organs. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding. * Inability to provide informed consent or comply with study procedures, due to severe psychiatric illness, cognitive impairment, or other limiting conditions. * Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, would make the patient unsuitable for study participation or compromise patient safety or study integrity.
