About this trial

The purpose of this study is to test Y90 glass microspheres for people with recurrent brain cancer. Participation in this study will help researchers find the best dose for the treatment of the disease. The study will look at the safety of the Y90 glass microsphere device and if it works to help stop the growth of the tumor.

In this study, the device is delivered directly to the tumor through the blood vessels/arteries using a catheter(s) (a specialized tubing). The device (very small glass beads) gives radiation directly to the tumor and nearby area.

Although radiation is a standard treatment for most types of brain cancer, the delivery of radiation using the Y90 glass microsphere device differs and is an investigational procedure. To deliver the device a catheter(s) will be inserted through a blood vessel/artery in the forearm or groin, followed by an in-hospital stay after the treatment of up-to 36 hours. Participants will have regular follow-up visits with the study doctor to monitor their health and assess how the tumor responds to treatment. These visits will take place weekly during the first month, monthly for the next five months, and then approximately every two months until one year after treatment.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Subject is 18 years or older and has signed and dated the trial informed consent form (ICF)

Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks

Subject is willing and able to comply with the trial testing, procedures, and follow-up schedule

History of a histologically confirmed diagnosis of glioblastoma per 2021 WHO criteria

Disqualifiers

Have leptomeningeal disease or other primary malignancy metastatic to the brain

Target lesion located in or involving the infratentorial space, thalamus, hypothalamus, internal capsule, or optic chiasma

Have received more than 1 course of prior cerebral radiotherapy (EBRT)

Prior cranial radiation dose ≥ 66 Gy

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Device: TheraSphere GBM treatment of TheraSphere GBM device

    Device

    All patients participating in the study will receive the same device. The study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of the device when it is used to deliver radiation to the area of the brain containing the tumor. The amount of radiation a patient receives depends on the dose group (cohort) to which they are assigned. Patients will be treated in groups of three at each dose level. If a dose level is considered safe, the next group of patients will receive a higher dose

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Maximum tolerated radiation absorbed dose (MTRAD) of the Y90 microspheres device to the perfused volume (PV) corresponding to a DLT of smaller equals 33%

The MTRAD of Y-90 microspheres to the PV corresponding to a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) rate of ≤33% through 30 days observation period from the index procedure. A DLT is defined as any device-related ≥Grade 3 adverse event, excluding radiographic-only cerebral edema and symptomatic cerebral edema if symptoms improve within 7 days of initiation of medical management.

Time frame
Through the 30-day observation period from the index procedure.

Secondary outcomes

1

Rate of Adverse Events (AEs) throughout follow up period (any causality, severity, and duration):

Time frame
From mapping procedure through study follow-up, assessed for up to 36 months
2

Rate of radiation-related neurotoxicity throughout follow up period (any causality, severity, and duration)

Time frame
From mapping procedure through study follow-up, assessed for up to 36 months
3

Rate of Serious AEs throughout follow up period (any causality, severity, and duration)

Time frame
From mapping procedure through study follow-up, assessed for up to 36 months
4

Rate of procedure-related AEs throughout follow up period (any causality, severity, and duration)

Time frame
From mapping procedure through study follow-up, assessed for up to 36 months
