Yttrium-90 Carbon Microspheres in Patients With Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastases

Phase 1

Recruiting

• Conditions: Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastases
• Interventions: Combination Product: Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) with yttrium-90 carbon microspheres

• Registration Number: NCT05692037
• Lead Sponsor: Zhongda Hospital

Brief Summary

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of yttrium-90 carbon microspheres in patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases

Detailed Description

The efficacy and safety of yttrium-90 carbon microspheres in patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases remain unknown. This multicentre, prospective, open-label, single-arm trial is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of yttrium-90 carbon microspheres in patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases. The primary endpoints are the progression-free survival rates of liver target lesions. While the secondary endpoints include the safety, tumor control, and the distribution characteristics of yttrium-90 carbon microspheres.
