Summary
The objective of this pivotal study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of SIRT using
SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres as first-line treatment for local control of HCC in
patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage A, B1, B2, and C.
SIR-Spheres consist of biocompatible resin microspheres containing yttrium-90 (Y-90), with a
size between 20 and 60 microns in diameter. Y-90 is a high-energy pure beta-emitting isotope
with no primary gamma emission.
SIR-Spheres are indicated for the local tumor control of unresectable hepatocellular
carcinoma (HCC) in patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage A, B1 and B2,
maximal single lesion size of 8 cm, no macrovascular invasion, well-compensated liver
function and good performance status. It is also indicated for the treatment of unresectable
metastatic liver tumors from primary colorectal cancer with adjuvant intra-hepatic artery
chemotherapy (IHAC) of Floxuridine (FUDR).
