Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety, Efficacy, and Dosing of Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Hepato-cellular Carc/Colo-rectal Liver Metastases (NCT NCT01528878)

NCT ID: NCT01528878

Last Updated: 2018-07-26

Results Overview

To determine a tolerable dose, cumulative acute toxicity was collected (defined as toxicity occurring within 90 days of treatment initiation). Adverse events were graded by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0. Tolerability was based on hepatic toxicity. A grading (severity) scale is provided for each adverse event (AE) term. Grade 1 Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated. Grade 2 Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate instrumental Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Grade 3 Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care ADL. Grade 4 Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5 Death related to AE.

Measure
Single Arm Patients With HCC or Liver Metastases
Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are not appropriate for surgical resection or radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as a bridge to transplant. The original cohort was not analyzed between good vs compromised liver function because there were only 2 patients with Child-Pugh Class B and secondary outcomes measured are thought to be more influenced by disease rather than liver function (which may be more relevant for toxicity).

A grading (severity) scale is provided for each adverse event (AE) term. Grade 1 Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated.

Grade 3 Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care ADL. Grade 4 Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5 Death related to AE.

Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are not appropriate for surgical resection or radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as a bridge to transplant. The original cohort was not analyzed between good vs compromised liver function because there were only 2 patients with Child-Pugh Class B and secondary outcomes measured are thought to be more influenced by disease rather than liver function (which may be more relevant for toxicity).
