Device: Quiremspheres™
Registration Number
NCT06142344
Lead Sponsor
The Netherlands Cancer Institute
Brief Summary

The goal of this multicentre clinical pilot study is to investigate the feasibility of the addition of Ho-166 radioembolization to chemotherapy in patients with liver metastastic breast cancer.

Participants will receive a mapping angiography and Ho-166 radioembolization. Chemotherapy will be stopped 2-5 prior to radioembolization and continuation of chemotherapy will be evaluated at 2 weeks post-radioembolization.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Women >18 years
  • Patients with hormone positive and HER2 negative liver metastatic breast cancer

Exclusion Criteria
  • Life expectancy ≤3 months
  • Patient eligible for other curative local liver therapy (ea. surgery, ablation)
  • Brain, pleural, peritoneal or extensive extra-hepatic visceral metastases
  • Other life-threatening disease (i.e. Dialysis, unresolved diarrhea, serious unresolved infections (HIV, HBV, HCV etc.))
  • Contraindication for angiography or MRI
  • Significant toxicities due to prior cancer therapy that have not resolved before the initiation of the study, if the investigator determines that the continuing complication will compromise the safe treatment of the patient
  • Prior or planned embolic intra-arterial liver directed therapy (TACE, TAE, TARE)
  • Prior or planned external or internal radiation therapy of the liver
  • Cirrhosis or portal hypertension
  • Main portal vein thrombosis
  • Intervention for, or compromise of, the Ampulla of Vater

  • Baseline use of analgesics for abdominal pain
  • Pregnancy (Women at childbearing potential need at least one form of birth control) and breastfeeding
  • Flow to extra hepatic vessels not correctable by reposition or embolization
  • Estimated dose to the lungs greater than 30 Gy in a single administration or 50 Gy cumulatively
  • Target tumoral absorbed dose of < 90Gy or an absorbed dose to the normal liver parenchyma of >50Gy (in case of whole liver treatment)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
FeasibilityUp to 3 months after intervention

The percentage of patients were radioembolization and systemic chemotherapy is safely feasible. Safety is defined as percentage of 90 day post-radioembolization (CTCAE/SIR grade 3 or higher) which lead discontinuation of the current systemic chemotherapy. Time to re-start chemotherapy after intervention in days will be collected.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Lesion- and patient-based responseUp to 3 months after intervention

Radiological response on contrast-enhanced CT and MRI measured by RECIST

Quality of Life during studyFrom start inclusion to 3 months after intervention

Obtained by EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire

Overall toxicity associated with study interventionUp to 3 months after intervention

Graded by CTCAE/SIR grade
