Clinical trial for HCC - Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Official title Defining the Ablative Dose for Y-90 TARE
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07586046
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study aims to determine the optimal amount of radiation needed to completely destroy liver tumors that are not operable or treatable with standard ablation.
- Who it's for
- Adults with hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) that cannot be removed by surgery or treated with standard ablation techniques.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive Y‑90 trans‑arterial radioembolization (TARE), a procedure that delivers radioactive microspheres to the liver tumor.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
