Brief Title: Efficacy Evaluation of TheraSphere to Treat Inoperable Liver Cancer With Blockage of the Portal Vein
Official Title: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial on 90Yttrium Trans-arterial Radio-Embolization (TheraSphere®) vs. Standard of Care (Sorafenib) for the Treatment of Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) With Portal Vein Thrombosis (PVT)
Study ID: NCT01887717
Brief Summary: This is a two-arm, open-label, prospective, multi-center, randomized, active-controlled clinical trial to assess efficacy and safety of TheraSphere in comparison to standard of care therapy (sorafenib) in the treatment of participants with inoperable liver cancer and blockage of the portal vein.
Detailed Description: The objective of this Phase III, prospective randomized trial is to determine whether TheraSphere provides a meaningful benefit in survival in comparison with the standard of care (sorafenib) in participants with good hepatic function and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) associated with portal vein thrombosis (PVT). This is an open-label prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial that will evaluate the use of TheraSphere compared to standard-of-care sorafenib alone.
