| Feasibility of MR imaged administration of holmium microspheres | Feasibility is defined as successful treatment under MRI in at least 4 of 6 patients. Unsuccessful treatment is defined as having to abort the procedure for safety reasons, judged by the interventional radiologist, and having to complete the administration of microspheres under X-ray guidance as in normal practice. Possible reasons for this are uncertainty about the location of the catheter, or luxation of the catheter as a result of transport to the MRI scanner. | 1 month after inclusion |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 | Patients are followed up to 3 months after treatment, during which all adverse events are recorded. | Up to 3 months after treatment |
| Tumor/non-tumor ratio on MR based dosimetry |

Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Brain metastases or spinal cord compression, unless irradiated at least 4 weeks prior to the date of the experimental treatment and stable without steroid treatment for at least 1 week
Radiation therapy within the last 4 weeks before the start of study therapy.
The last dose of prior systemic therapy has been received less than 4 weeks prior the start of study therapy.
Major surgery within 4 weeks, or incompletely healed surgical incision before starting study therapy.
Any unresolved toxicity greater than National Cancer Institute (NCI), Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE version 4.0, see Appendix II) grade 2 from previous anti-cancer therapy.
Serum bilirubin > 1.5 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN).
Glomerular filtration rate <35 ml/min, determined according to the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula.
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), or alkaline phosphatase (ALP) > 5 x ULN.
Leukocytes < 4.0 109/l and/or platelet count < 60 109/l.
Significant cardiac event (e.g. myocardial infarction, superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome, New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification of heart disease ≥2 within 3 months before entry, or presence of cardiac disease that in the opinion of the Investigator increases the risk of ventricular arrhythmia.
Pregnancy or breast feeding (women of child-bearing potential).
Patients suffering from diseases with an increased chance of liver toxicity, such as primary biliary cirrhosis or xeroderma pigmentosum.
Patients suffering from psychic disorders that make a comprehensive judgement impossible, such as psychosis, hallucinations and/or depression.
Patients ineligible to undergo MR imaging.
Patients who are claustrophobic.
Patient who had prior liver resection and/or coil placement inside the liver, expected to cause imaging artefacts on MRI that will limit MR quantification.
Patients who are declared incompetent.
Previous enrolment in the present study or previous treatment with radioembolisation.
Portal vein thrombosis (tumour and/or bland) of the main branch (diagnosed on contrast enhanced transaxial images). Involvement of the right or left portal vein branches and more distal is accepted.
Evidence of untreated, clinically significant grade 3 portal hypertension (i.e. large varices at oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy). In these cases, therapy with non-selective beta blocker (propranolol) or rubber band ligation should be instituted according to accepted guidelines. In case of small varices, prophylactic propranolol is advised.
Untreated active hepatitis.
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).
Body weight over 150 kg (because of maximum table load).
Severe allergy for intravenous contrast agents used
Lung shunt >30 Gy, as calculated using scout dose SPECT/CT.
Uncorrectable extrahepatic deposition of scout dose activity. Activity in the falciform ligament, portal lymph nodes and gallbladder is accepted.

MR based dosimetry is performed immediately after treatment, resulting in dose maps. The dose that the tumor received is divided over the dose that the rest of the liver received. |
| 1 month after inclusion |
| Comparison of dosimetry in Gray between MR based and SPECT based dose maps | Voxel-based dosimetry will be performed, leading to dose-volume histograms with a dose value per voxel in Gray. Statistical testing will be done for differences between these data sets, i.e. the two different imaging modalities (MR based and SPECT based). It is expected that dose-volume histograms will be similar between the two modalities. | 1 month after inclusion |
| Tumor response after 3 months based on CT imaging (according to RECIST 1.1 criteria) | 3 months after treatment |
