Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Feasibility of CT-guided IRE. Primary outcomes after treatment are adverse events and serious adverse events (defined as CTCAE grade >=3 complications), which should not exceed 60%. Mortality should be below 5%. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints are thermal injury, treatment duration, overall survival, progression-free survival, difference in serum CA19-9 (area under the curve) during the first 3 months post-IRE, temperature measurements in the treated region during IRE procedure, extent of the ablation zone and treatment efficacy on cross-sectional imaging (CT) 6 and 12 weeks after the procedure, post-intervention serum levels of amylase, lipase, glucose and transaminases, pain score (VAS) and analgesics use during the first three months post-IRE, systemic inflammatory response and continuation of chemotherapy following IRE. | — |
