Study Description

Brief Summary:
A unique approach for cancer treatment employing intratumoral diffusing alpha radiation emitter device for superficial cutaneous, mucosal or soft tissue neoplasia

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Skin Cancer Mucosal Neoplasm of Oral Cavity Soft Tissue Neoplasm Device: Radiation: Diffusing Alpha Radiation Emitters Therapy (DaRT) Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

This will be a prospective, open label, single arm, controlled study, assessing the safety and efficacy of diffusing alpha emitters radiation therapy (DaRT) delivered through radioactive seeds inserted into the tumor.

This approach combines the advantages of local intratumoral irradiation of the tumor, as used in conventional brachytherapy, with the power of the alpha radiation emitting atoms, that will be introduced in quantities considerably lower than radiation therapy already used in patients.

Superficial lesions with histopathological confirmation of malignancy will be treated using DaRT seeds.

Reduction in tumor size 70 days after DaRT insertion will be assessed. Safety will be assessed by the incidence, severity and frequency of all Adverse Events (AE).

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: DaRT Seeds
Intratumoral Diffusing alpha-emitters Radiation Therapy (DaRT) Seeds
 Device: Radiation: Diffusing Alpha Radiation Emitters Therapy (DaRT)
An intratumoral insertion of a seed(s), loaded with Radium-224, securely fixed in the seeds. The seeds release by recoil into the tumor short-lived alpha-emitting atoms.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Tumor response to DaRT [ Time Frame: 9-11 weeks after DaRT seed insertion. ]
    Assessment of the rate of malignant cutaneous, mucosal or superficial soft tissue tumors response using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (Version 1.1)

  2. Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Time Frame: 9-11 weeks post DaRT insertion. ]
    The incidence, frequency, severity and causality of acute adverse events related to the DaRT treatment


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Assessment of the reduction in tumor volume [ Time Frame: 9-11 weeks follow-up visit. ]
    Assessment of the reduction in tumor volume based on CT / PET-CT measured tumor volume

  2. DaRT seeds placement. [ Time Frame: Day of insertion procedure. ]
    Assessment of the DaRT seeds placement by localization of the DaRT seeds in the tumor using CT imaging on the day of DaRT insertion.

  3. Change in quality of life [ Time Frame: Screening, DaRT removal and day 70 visits. ]
    Assessment of patient reported health-related Quality of Life outcome after DaRT, using QoL questionnaire Skindex-16 questionnaire score. An overall score ranging from 0 (best) to 100 (worst).

  4. Change in quality of life [ Time Frame: Screening, DaRT removal and day 70 visits. ]
    Assessment of patient reported health-related Quality of Life outcome after DaRT, using QoL questionnaire Skin Cancer Index (SCI) questionnaire score. An overall score ranging from 0 (best) to 100 (worst).
