About this trial

A unique approach for cancer treatment employing intratumoral diffusing alpha radiation emitter device for superficial cutaneous, mucosal or soft tissue neoplasia

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Subjects with histopathological confirmation of primary or secondary malignant cutaneous neoplastic lesions, or oral cavity mucosal tumors, or superficial soft tissue sarcoma. Confirmation obtained within 6 months of planned treatment.

Subjects with a tumor size ≤ 7 centimeters in the longest diameter.

Targetable lesion must be technically amenable for complete coverage (including margins) by the DaRT seeds

Brachytherapy indication validated by a multidisciplinary team

Disqualifiers

Subject has a tumor of Keratoacanthoma histology.

Known hypersensitivity to any of the components of the treatment.

Clinically significant cardiovascular disease, e.g. cardiac failure of New York Heart Association classes III-IV, uncontrolled coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, uncontrolled arrhythmia, uncontrolled hypertension, or history of myocardial infarction in the last 12 months.

Any medical or psychiatric illness which in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the patient's ability to tolerate this treatment or interfere with the study endpoints.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Radiation: Diffusing Alpha Radiation Emitters Therapy (DaRT)

    Device

    An intratumoral insertion of a seed(s), loaded with Radium-224, securely fixed in the seeds. The seeds release by recoil into the tumor short-lived alpha-emitting atoms.
