Trial design

Intervention: Giapreza (angiotensin II) intra-arterial infusion 10 μg/min for 100 seconds (totaling ~17 μg per patient) followed by direct 90Y glass microsphere injection; Comparator: 99mTc-MAA injection without AT-II infusion.-controlled Phase II trial across 1 site in Netherlands.

Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- TNR improvement factor: the TNR after AT-II infusion with subsequent direct 90Y microsphere injection as measured on 90Y PET/CT divided by the TNR after 99mTc-MAA without AT-II infusion as measured on SPECT/CT.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"TNR after AT-II infusion measured on 90Y PET/CT divided by TNR after 99mTc-MAA measured on SPECT/CT (i.e., the TNR improvement factor)."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Toxicity profile of combining 90Y radioembolization with AT-II infusion (graded according to CTCAE v5.0)","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Toxicity graded according to CTCAE v5.0."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Technical success of AT-II infusion. Technical success is defined as the successful intra-arterial administration of AT-II (10 μg/min for 100 seconds) followed by immediate 90Y glass microsphere injection.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Technical success = successful intra-arterial administration of AT-II at 10 μg/min for 100 seconds followed by immediate 90Y glass microsphere injection."}
