Simplified radioembolization for liver cancer and bile duct cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a streamlined way to deliver radioactive beads (radioembolization) directly to liver tumors in people with metastatic liver cancer or bile duct cancer. It aims to make treatment simpler and safer while still effectively targeting tumors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 19 years or older.
- You must have either metastatic liver cancer (cancer that has spread to your liver from another part of your body) or cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer).
- Your largest liver tumor must be no bigger than 7 cm, and you can have up to 5 tumors in the liver.
- Your liver function must be good (Child-Pugh class A) and you must be in reasonable overall health (able to carry out daily activities).
- You cannot have a bile duct stent or a history of bile duct surgery that connects to the intestine, and you must not have certain vessel abnormalities or severe lung conditions.

This trial tests a treatment called radioembolization for small liver cancers. Radioembolization delivers tiny radioactive beads to the tumor, and the goal is to see if it helps shrink or control the cancer.
This trial is testing a low 'scout' dose of tiny radioactive beads (resin microspheres) given into the liver to treat liver cancer. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and helps patients with certain types of liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed.
This trial tests combining radiation therapy (radioembolization) with surgery to remove part of the liver for people with a single large liver tumor (over 8 cm) that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if this approach can treat the tumor effectively.
This trial tests a targeted internal radiation treatment for people with liver cancer (HCC) that is too widespread for surgery and goes beyond the up-to-7 criteria. It aims to see if this therapy can safely and effectively treat tumors that are all located in a specific area of the liver.
This trial tests a treatment called yttrium-90 carbon microsphere radioembolization for people with liver cancer that has been previously treated. Tiny radioactive beads are delivered directly to the tumor through the blood vessels to destroy cancer cells from inside. This may be an option if your liver cancer has not spread beyond the liver and you can tolerate the procedure.
This trial tests a targeted radiation treatment (radioembolization) for liver cancer that has grown into the main vein (portal vein) but is still limited to one lobe of the liver. It is for people who have not received any prior cancer treatment and whose liver function is still fairly good.
