Trial Outcomes & Findings for TheraSphere for the Treatment of Liver Metastases (NCT NCT00511862)

NCT ID: NCT00511862

Last Updated: 2021-05-13

Results Overview

Progression per RECIST v 1.0 is defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as the reference the smallest sum of longest diameters recorded since treatment started, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesion or appearance of new lesions. A maximum of 5 target lesions per organ are assessed. To assess the impact of a non-systemic local therapy on progression, for the purposes of this trial, hepatic progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target hepatic lesions. Hepatic progression-free survival is the time from the day of first treatment with TheraSphere to determination of hepatic progression.

Participant Flow

151 patients recruited from January 19, 2007 to October 7, 2009

Patients were assigned to groups on the basis of type of primary cancer - colorectal cancer; neuroendocrine cancer or non-colorectal/non-neuroendocrine. Subjects who unable to receive TheraSphere (target dose 120 Gy) due to vascular shunting to the lungs or GI tract were not enrolled in the study and did not receive yttrium 90 glass microspheres.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From the date of first treatment until date of first documented progression; median patient follow-up 30 months

Population: Patients receiving at least one TheraSphere treatment with images evaluable by RECIST

Progression per RECIST v 1.0 is defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as the reference the smallest sum of longest diameters recorded since treatment started, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesion or appearance of new lesions. A maximum of 5 target lesions per organ are assessed. To assess the impact of a non-systemic local therapy on progression, for the purposes of this trial, hepatic progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target hepatic lesions. Hepatic progression-free survival is the time from the day of first treatment with TheraSphere to determination of hepatic progression.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Time from first TheraSphere treatment to death; median follow up 30 months

Population: In the neuroendocrine group, a median overall survival was not achieved so a post-hoc analysis of 2 year survival was performed in Outcome Measure 3.

Duration of survival from date of first TheraSphere treatment to date of death or censored to last known date alive.
