About this trial

This study is testing a new way of treating brain tumours using tiny radioactive beads called SIR-Spheres® (90Y-labelled Resin Microspheres). These microspheres are placed into the blood vessels that feed the tumour. The treatment gives off radiation inside the tumour to try to stop it from growing.

This type of treatment is called Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT), Transarterial Radioembolisation (TARE), or radioembolisation. It is already an accepted treatment for patients with liver cancer. In this study, we are testing if this treatment can be done safely in the brain and how well it works.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Disqualifiers

Multifocal glioma recurrence

Tumour located in the posterior fossa or involving/risking critical subcortical structures (e.g. thalamus, hypothalamus, basal ganglia, internal capsule, cerebral peduncle, midbrain, brainstem, or optic pathways)

Prior treatment with VEGF inhibitors

Prior re-irradiation for progressive or recurrent disease

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Safety - Treatment-related adverse events

Rate of any treatment-related adverse events within the first 30 days after TARE, according to CTCAE, version 6.0.

Time frame
From SIR-sphere administration (Day 1) to 30 days post SIR-sphere administration.
2

Safety - Severe treatment-related adverse events

Rate of any severe treatment-related adverse events (grade ≥3-5) within the first 30 days after TARE, according to CTCAE version 6.0

Time frame
From SIR-sphere administration (Day 1) to 30 days post SIR-sphere administration.
3

30-day mortality

Rate of all-cause mortality within 30 days following TARE.

Time frame
From SIR-sphere administration (Day 1) to 30 days post SIR-sphere administration.

Secondary outcomes

1

Technical success of TARE

Technical success rate, defined as successful selective catheterisation and administration of SIR-Spheres® to the target volume without significant non-target deposition.

Time frame
6 months after the last patient has been enrolled
2

Confirmation of dose delivery

Confirmation of dose delivery to the target volume as assessed by post-treatment PET/CT.

Time frame
6 months after the last patient has been enrolled.
3

Objective response rate (ORR)

Objective response rate (ORR) according to RANO 2.0 and PET RANO 1.0 criteria.

Time frame
6 months after the last patient has been enrolled
4

Disease control rate (DCR)

Disease control rate (DCR) according to RANO 2.0 and PET RANO 1.0 criteria.

Time frame
6 months after the last patient has been enrolled

Other outcomes

1

To evaluate the correlation between organ at risk radiation dosimetry and adverse events

Correlation between absorbed dose (Gy) to normal brain, as estimated on post-treatment 90Y PET, and the incidence of treatment-related adverse events, as classified by CTCAE version 6.0

Time frame
6 months after the last patient has been enrolled
2

To evaluate the concordance between pre-treatment predicted and post-treatment delivered absorbed dose distributions to tumour and normal brain using voxel-based dosimetry

Correlation between absorbed dose estimates to tumour and normal brain derived from pre-treatment \[99mTc\]Tc-MAA SPECT/CT and post-treatment 90Y PET dosimetry

Time frame
6 months after the last patient has been enrolled
3

To investigate circulating biomarkers and potential mechanisms of resistance, for patients treated with this approach.

Change in circulating biomarker levels from baseline over time, including the identification of molecular or cellular markers associated with treatment response or resistance.

Time frame
6 months after the last patient has been enrolled
