Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: * WHO (World health organization) performance score > 2 * Inadequate bone marrow function (hemoglobin 35 µmol/l, aspartate aminotransferase / alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) > 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)) or inadequate renal function (creatinine > 1.5 x ULN). * Prior hemihepatectomy. * Compromised biliary system (biliary stent or hepaticojejunostomy). * Child Pugh score B7 or worse. * Active hepatitis B or C. * Main portal vein thrombosis on CT (or previous portal vein embolization). * Severe celiac axis stenosis on CT. * Unsuitable hepatic arterial anatomy on CT. * Treatment with systemic chemotherapy within 4 weeks prior to radioembolization. * Previous participation in a study classified as class III by a radiation safety committee * Bleeding diathesis. * Pregnancy or breast feeding. * Life expectancy
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint is the T/N activity concentration ratio. The primary endpoint will be compared between the ARC and standard micocatheter infusions. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints include mean absorbed doses of radioactivity in tumorous and healthy liver tissue, infusion efficiency, the predictive value of 166Ho-scout dose and tumor response. These enpoints will be compared between the ARC and standard micocatheter infusions. A dose-response relationship, clinical toxicity and overall survival will be assessed for the entire cohort. | — |
