Study Summary
This trial is comparing Instylla HES to standard of care transarterial embolization/conventional transarterial chemoembolization to see if it is effective and safe.
Who is the study for?
Adults aged 22 or older with hypervascular tumors, including adrenal, renal, bone metastases, and unresectable liver cancers. Participants must have a life expectancy of at least 6 months post-treatment and be able to give informed consent. They should not have severe allergies to trial materials or major organ dysfunction.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing Instylla HES's ability to block blood flow in tumor arteries against the standard embolization treatments (TAE/cTACE). The goal is to see if it's just as good while keeping serious side effects low.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to blocking blood vessels that feed tumors and those specific to the Instylla HES material. Serious adverse events will be closely monitored.

Study Objectives
Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary outcome measures
Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: Delivery of the embolic agent to the index tumor feeding vessel with stasis of flow as determined by an independent radiologist via comparison of the pre and final post procedure images
Primary Safety Endpoint: Freedom from major adverse events through 30 days post-index procedure
