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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial is testing a procedure called ablative radioembolization, which delivers tiny radioactive beads (Yttrium-90) directly to liver tumors. It is for adults with hepatocellular carcinoma that has spread into the portal vein but is still confined to one lobe of the liver. The goal is to see if this high-dose radiation approach can improve overall survival and shrink tumors in people who maintain good liver function.

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 glass microspheres (TheraSphere) given via ablative radioembolization
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more effective way to treat liver cancer that has spread into nearby blood vessels, potentially extending survival.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study, so results may not apply broadly. The high radiation dose could damage healthy liver tissue or cause side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adults aged 18 and over 2. Patients diagnosed with unilobar hepatocellular carcinoma, either histologically and/or radiologically (LI-RADS 4 or 5) 3. Patients with at least one measurable lesion greater than 10 mm on dynamic contrast-enhanced CT or MRI 4. Patients with localized portal vein invasion limited in one lobe (Vp1-3) on dynamic contrast-enhanced CT or MRI 5. Patients with no extrahepatic metastasis on lung CT and contrast-enhanced abdominal CT or MRI 6. Patients with no prior treatment for liver cancer 7. Child-Pugh class A 8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 1 or less 9. Patients without serious dysfunction of major organs, as indicated by blood tests conducted within one month of study enrollment 1. Leukocytes ≥ 2,500/µL and ≤ 12,000/µL 2. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mm\^3 3. Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL (transfusions allowed to meet this criterion) 4. Total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 mg/dL 5. Platelets ≥ 50,000/µL 6. For patients not on anticoagulants, INR ≤ 2.0 7. AST ≤ 200 IU/L (i.e., ≤ 5X upper normal limit) 8. ALT ≤ 200 IU/L (i.e., ≤ 5X upper normal limit) 9. ALP ≤ 575 IU/L (i.e., ≤ 5X upper normal limit) 10. Creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL 10. Patients with a life expectancy of more than 3 months 11. Patients who have fully understood the clinical trial and given written consent 12. Female patients of childbearing age confirmed not to be pregnant Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients unsuitable for ablative radioembolization as per the pre-test with macro-aggregated albumin labeled with technetium-99 (99mTc-MAA) for radioembolization. 1. Cases where, according to multi-compartment Medical Internal Radiation Dose method, delivering 205 Gy of radiation to the tumor exceeds an estimated lung dose of 25 Gy. 2. Cases with severe hepatic artery-portal vein shunting leading to expected irradiation of the non-tumorous opposite lobe. 2. Patients whose volume of non-tumorous liver not included in the treatment area is less than 30% of the total non-tumorous liver volume. 3. Patients with hepatic vein or bile duct invasion as seen on dynamic contrast-enhanced CT or MRI. 4. Patients scheduled to use immunotherapy regardless of the response to radioembolization. 5. Patients who had active cancer within two years prior to joining the clinical trial. 6. Patients who have undergone surgery or procedures related to the bile duct. 7. Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
