166Ho-TARE is a promising modality for the treatment of HCC, given the unique characteristics of holmium, allowing careful patient selection and personalized dosimetry treatment planning. Further clinical evidence is needed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 166Ho-TARE in the treatment of HCC patients with limited tumor burden, well preserved liver function and performance status and ineligible for liver transplantation and/or liver resection. This study will also provide further evidence on the dose-response relationship of 166Ho-TARE in (early) HCC.
This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label, multicenter study with 166Ho-TARE in unresectable HCC patients with limited tumor burden and well-preserved liver function and performance status, ineligible for liver transplantation and/or liver resection. Eligibility for liver transplantation and liver resection is determined by the multidisciplinary tumor board. However, patients eligible for liver transplantation can still be included in the setting of bridge to transplant. The study proposes to use 166Ho-TARE, including both therapeutic 166Ho-microspheres (QuiremSpheres™ Holmium-166 Microspheres) and scout 166Ho-microspheres (QuiremScout™ Holmium-166 Microspheres). All patients providing informed consent and meeting the selection criteria will be further screened using a scout dose of 166Ho-microspheres to evaluate 166Ho-TARE eligibility. Patients not eligible for selective 166Ho-TARE are considered screen failures and will not be considered as enrolled. The primary endpoint will be assessed by blinded, independent central review, organized by an imaging core laboratory.

confirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR) by localized mRECIST
ORR is defined as the proportion of patients achieving either complete or partial tumor response during the study, as assessed by blinded central image review according to localized mRECIST
Time frame: 5 years
Best ORR based on localized mRECIST
The number and percent of patients with a confirmed response
Time frame: 5 years
Best and confirmed ORR based on mRECIST
The number and percent of patients with a confirmed response
Time frame: 5 years
Duration of Response (DoR) ≥ 6 months based on localized mRECIST and mRECIST
The number and percent of patients with a DoR ≥ 6 months. DoR is measured from time of initial response until radiological progression. Radiological progression is determined by blinded central image review according to localized mRECIST and mRECIST.
Time frame: 5 years
Time to Progression (TTP)
TTP defined as the time from treatment with QuiremSpheresTM Holmium-166 Microspheres to progression as per mRECIST
Time frame: 5 years
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
PFS defined as the time from treatment with QuiremSpheresTM Holmium-166 Microspheres to the date of radiological progression or death from any cause. Radiological progression is determined by blinded central image review according to mRECIST
Time frame: 5 years
