Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome is safety, defined as the total number of clinically relevant complications (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE], score of 3 or higher) within 90 days post-IRE. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes are the success rate of completing IRE, intra-procedural complications related to IRE, duration of hospital stay, quality of life, impact of IRE on post-procedural CT imaging and blood biomarker response, time between IRE and start of palliative chemotherapy, metal stent patency, progression-free and overall survival. | — |
