Lipiodol Deposition Using Endhole vs. Pressure-Modulated Delivery

Study Purpose

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare CT scan of the coverage of tumors treated with TACE using End Hole catheters to those treated with the TriNav catheter that alters tissue pressure. Both catheters are FDA approved for delivery of TACE. • Is there a difference in CT appearance with delivery in the type of catheter used during the TACE procedure? Participants will be asked to undergo a TACE procedure, a CT scan and review of their medical record to compare End Hole and TriNav catheters during TACE procedures.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT06204159
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Neuroendocrine Tumors
Additional Details

Hepatocellular (HCC) and neuroendocrine (NET) liver metastases undergoing Lipiodol transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) will be randomized to endhole vs.#46; pressure-modulated catheter delivery. Lipiodol deposition will be quantified and correlated with volumetric necrosis, response, and local progression.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: TriNav Catheter followed by End Hole Catheter

FDA approved catheter Randomization TriNav catheter then End Hold catheter

Interventions

Device: - TACE Catheters

End Hole and TriNav catheters are FDA approved. This study is comparing the two for chemotherapy delivery during the TACE procedure. This study will randomize which catheter is used for the first TACE procedure and the other catheter will be used for the second TACE procedure
