HCC study: Lumason vs Sonazoid
Official title Y-90 Treatment Response Using Transarterial Radioembolization
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07145801
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study wants to see whether contrast‑enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can detect cancer response after TARE earlier or more accurately than CT or MRI scans.
- Who it's for
- Adults with newly diagnosed liver cancer (HCC) who are scheduled to receive TARE.
- What's involved
- Participants will have CEUS scans done within two weeks of their routine CT or MRI scans at 1‑2 months and 4‑6 months after TARE. If a patient needs retreatment before the 4‑6 month MRI, a CEUS may be done instead.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts up to 18 months of enrollment with each participant followed for at least 6 months after TARE, involving the scheduled imaging visits and the additional CEUS scans.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Time commitment: about 6 months
