The FDA has the authority to require sponsors to perform a post-approval study (or studies) at the time of approval of a premarket approval (PMA), humanitarian device exemption (HDE), or product development protocol (PDP) application. Post-approval studies can provide patients, health care professionals, the device industry, the FDA and other stakeholders information on the continued safety and effectiveness (or continued probable benefit, in the case of an HDE) of approved medical devices. This database allows you to search Post-Approval Study information by applicant or device information.

Detailed Study Protocol Parameters
Study Objectives Study Design:
Open label, single arm, prospective, US study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of TheraSphere Microspheres administration using multicompartment dosimetry in patients with unresectable HCC.

Primary Objective:
To evaluate the safety of TheraSphere Microspheres treatment based on multicompartment dosimetry for pretreatment planning and post-treatment evaluation.

Secondary Objective:
To evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment procedure.
Study Population Patients with solitary (1-8 cm diameter) unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), Child-Pugh Score A cirrhosis, well-compensated liver function, no macrovascular invasion, and good performance status.
Sample Size Number of subjects:
140 evaluable patients

Assumptions for sample size estimation:
A formal sample size computation, based on a pre-defined statistical hypothesis test, will not be performed for this study. However, a minimum of 140 evaluable patients are considered to provide sufficiently narrow 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the number of patients with REILD Grade greater than or equal to 3 up to 4 months.

Assuming an expected REILD Grade greater than or equal to 3 rate of 5%, the two-sided 95% CI would be 2.0% to 10.0% with 140 evaluable patients using the method of Clopper-Pearson.

The study will be considered successful if the upper bound of the two-sided 95% CI for the REILD Grade greater than or equal to 3 rate is less than 10% up to month 4 after any TheraSphere Microspheres administration performed before progression.

To account for an anticipated dropout rate of 5%, approximately 147 patients will be enrolled to ensure that at least 140 evaluable patients are available for primary safety analysis.

Number of sites:
10 sites

Sites location:
US
Key Study Endpoints Safety Endpoints
Primary:
The rate of Radioembolization Induced Liver Disease (REILD) Grade greater than or equal to 3 occurring up to 4 months after any TheraSphere Microspheres treatment administration before progression.

Secondary:
-Number of device and/or procedure# related Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
-Change from baseline in Albumin Bilirubin (ALBI) score.
-The most severe grade of hepatoxicity after RE occurring during the 13-month follow-up period

Effectiveness Endpoints
Secondary:
-Objective Response Rate (ORR) evaluated by localized mRECIST and mRECIST criteria
-Duration of Response (DoR) evaluated by localized mRECIST and mRECIST criteria
-Number of patients that become eligible for liver transplantation or liver resection
-Histopathology evaluation for patients who had surgery
-Overall survival
Follow-up Visits and Length of Follow-up The study duration for each patient is expected to be approximately 14 months (1 month screening and 13 months follow-up).
