Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Hepatic Progression-free Survival According to Response Evaluation Criterian in Solid Tumors (RECIST)
From the date of first treatment until date of first documented progression; median patient follow-up 30 months

Progression per RECIST v 1.0 is defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as the reference the smallest sum of longest diameters recorded since treatment started, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesion or appearance of new lesions. A maximum of 5 target lesions per organ are assessed. To assess the impact of a non-systemic local therapy on progression, for the purposes of this trial, hepatic progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target hepatic lesions. Hepatic progression-free survival is the time from the day of first treatment with TheraSphere to determination of hepatic progression.
