E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
This is a randomized phase II trial to evaluate the relative efficacy of transarterial radioembolization with yttrium-90 microspheres (SIRT) in comparison to standard treatment with transarterial chemoembolization with cisplatin (DSM-TACE) in patients with liver metastases due to advanced uveal melanoma in terms of progression-free survival. |

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To compare quality of life during treatment and feasibility of the two treatment options. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Male or female patients ≥ 18 years of age • ECOG PS of 0, 1 or 2 • Histologically or cytologically confirmed liver metastases of uveal melanoma • At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST criteria v1.1 determined MRI (if contraindications against MRI exist CT with contrast media can is allowed) • Metastases in other sides are allowed if not in need of treatment (e.g. asymptomatic bone metastasis without indication for radiation) • Life expectancy > 3 months • Signed informed consent • The following laboratory parameters must be met at time of inclusion: o Total bilirubin < 3x ULN o Neutrophil granulocytes ≥ 1.0/nl o Leucocytes ≥ 2.5/nl o Platelets ≥ 100/nl o Haemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dl o Serum creatinine < 1.5 mg/dl o aPTT ≤ 50 sec. o Prothrombine time (PT) ≥ 70% o Serum albumine ≥ 28 g/l o SGOT, SGPT < 2x ULN • Prior treatment with systemic anti-cancer therapy is allowed if terminated ≥ 4 weeks prior to study treatment start and recovery from toxicity is achieved • Surgery in general and hepatic surgery in particular (e.g. lobe resection, radiofrequency ablation) prior to study enrollment are allowed if realized ≥ 4 weeks prior to study enrollment and recovery from surgery is achieved • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days of the first administration of study treatment and must be willing to use adequate methods of contraception (pearl index < 1) during the study and for 3 months after last study drug administration
