Radioembolization as a Spearhead Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Localized Portal Vein Tumor Thrombosis
- Conditions
- Hepatocellular Carcinoma
- Interventions
- Procedure: Ablative radioembolization
- Registration Number
- NCT06166576
- Lead Sponsor
- Seoul National University Hospital
- Brief Summary
The RESOLVE trial, an open-label, single-arm, multi-center study, aims to assess the efficacy and safety of ablative radioembolization using TheraSphere Yttrium-90 microspheres. This trial specifically targets patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma accompanied by localized portal vein tumor thrombosis (Vp1-Vp3) and who maintain good liver function.
- Detailed Description
Patients diagnosed with unilobar hepatocellular carcinoma and localized portal vein tumor thrombosis (Vp1-Vp3), who also exhibit good liver function, will undergo ablative radioembolization with a dose exceeding 205 Gy to the tumor using TheraSphere glass microspheres. These patients will be monitored over a two-year period to evaluate their clinical course, treatment outcomes, and safety.
