Brief Title: Alpha Radiation Emitters Device for the Treatment of Liver Metastases (DaRT)
Official Title: A Feasibility and Safety Study of Intratumoral Diffusing Alpha Radiation Emitters for the Treatment of Liver Metastases
Study ID: NCT05829291
Brief Summary: This is a single center study enrolling up to 10 patients. The primary objective is to Evaluate the feasibility and safety of the DaRT for the treatment of Liver Metastases. The secondary objective is to evaluate the pathological response of liver metastases according to the Modified tumor regression grade\[1\] and to evaluate the radiological response of liver metastases using the RECIST criteria.
Detailed Description: This study is a Prospective, Open label, one arm, single center study to evaluate the feasibility and safety of Diffusing Alpha Radiation Emitters for the treatment of Liver Metastases . Alpha Tau Medical proposes a unique treatment methodology for patients with liver metastases - Diffusing Alpha-emitters Radiation Therapy (DaRT) - whereby alpha particles are used to destroy solid tumors. The concept is predicated on the use of DaRT radioactive sources for radiotherapy. DaRT is based on a nuclear decay chain originating with thorium-228 (1.91 years half-life). Outside of negligible, non-significant trace amounts, the thorium-228 remains confined to the Alpha Tau Medical manufacturing facility, and is used to generate radium-224, which is coated onto 316LVM stainless steel wires (Alpha DaRT Seeds). The Primary endpoint of the study is : 1) Feasibility assessments of the ability to achieve full volume coverage of liver metastases volume. 2) Safety of the Alpha DaRT Seeds as therapy for liver metastases , Safety will be assessed and recorded according to CTCAE V5.
