Streamlined liver cancer treatment tested in new study

NCT ID NCT06979219

Disease control Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a faster version of radioembolization for people with small liver cancers (5 cm or less). Normally, doctors do a pre-treatment scan to check for lung risks, but this trial skips that step for carefully selected patients. The goal is to see if the simplified approach is still safe and effective at destroying tumors.

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 resin microspheres (SIR-Spheres)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make liver cancer treatment faster and simpler by safely skipping an extra imaging step.
What could go wrong
This is an early registry study with only 146 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. There is a risk that skipping the pre-scan could miss lung shunt issues.
