14 Risk of Hepatic Abscess from Radioembolization Traditionally patients with biliary-enteric anastamoses have been excluded from hepatic embolization procedures due to the high risk of cholangitis and abscess Documented complication rates due to infection range from 12-50% with CE 13 Violated Ampulla Results Retrospective multi-institutional review 27 patients underwent 35 infusions Follow ups is between 3 weeks 60 months The mean number of radioembolization treatments was 1.5 (range 1-2) The median length of outpatient stay was 2.5 (2-4) hours GEST

15 Complications No 30 day mortality 3 infusions of 16 developed transient low grade fever and chills 2 patients developed hepatic abscesses requiring drainge (7.4%) 1 patient died of sepsis 6 weeks after radioembolization treatment (3.7%) GEST 2008 Violated Ampulla Relative Contraindication Whipple, ampullotomy, metallic or plastic stent We medicated with levaquin and metronidazole 500mg iv levaquin, 500 iv flagyl day of procedure Followed by 500 levaquin po QD x 5 days. 500 mg flagyl 500 po TID x 5 days.

24 1/10/2014 Therasphere Introduction Epidemiology of HCC Indications Mechanism of action Patient selection Contraindications Starting a program Therasphere HCC Epidemiology HCC one of most common forms of cancer worldwide (est. 1 million new cases annually) In US, NCI estimate 19,160 new cases and 16,780 deaths in Incidence increasing with rise in hepatitis C-induced cirrhosis 5-10% of HCC patients are resectable 2 1 National Cancer Institute (accessed December 1, 2008) 2 Llovet, JM. Current Treatment Options for Gastroenterology. 2004;7: Therasphere Limited Treatment Options for HCC Therapeutic Options: Resection or transplantation Unresectable HCC treatment options: Radiofrequency ablation Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE or Drug Eluting Beads) Transarterial TheraSphere, Y90 Glass Microspheres External Beam radiation Systemic therapy (ie. Sorafenib) No treatment 3

25 1/10/2014 Therasphere Indications In the United States, TheraSphere 1 is indicated for: Radiation treatment or as a neoadjuvant to surgery or transplantation in patients with unresectable HCC who can have placement of appropriately positioned hepatic arterial catheters HCC patients with partial or branch portal vein thrombosis/occlusion, when clinical evaluation warrants the treatment Approved for use in EU, Canada, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia & S. Africa 1 TheraSphere US Package Insert Therasphere TheraSphere designated as Humanitarian Use Device (HUD) Legally marketed under Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) Demonstrated safety and probable clinical benefit HDE Requirements: IRB oversight/approval required Use within approved labelling does not constitute research or investigational use What is Therasphere mm glass microspheres Y-90 is an integral constituent of the glass matrix Innovative treatment to deliver powerful, targeted radiation inside the liver Y-90 glass microspheres comparison to human hair TheraSphere dose vial 4

26 1/10/2014 Therasphere Administered via hepatic artery catheter Targeted internal radiation due to tumor hypervascularity Microspheres are trapped in the tumor arterioles and are minimallyembolic (microembolization) Pure beta-emitter Average beta emission energy is MeV Average penetration range in tissue is 2.5 mm Physical half-life is 64.2 hours and decays to stable zirconium-90 Mechanism of Action Therasphere Benefits Overview: Low toxicities: well tolerated Targeted Therapy: Sparing Healthy Tissue Outpatient procedure Minimal PES syndrome (TACE vs. TheraSphere) Promising survival data Bridge to transplant, downstaging Neoadjuvant to surgery Use in Portal Vein Thrombosis Post-TheraSphere patients eligible for further therapeutic options due to preserved liver vascularity Patient Selection The ideal candidate for TheraSphere presents with: Non-infiltrative tumor type Elevated AFP Child-Pugh A Bilirubin < 2 mg/dl AST/ALT < 5 x ULN Tumor volume < 50% and Albumin > 3 5

27 1/10/2014 Contraindications Standard contraindications to angiography Inability to safely deploy the Therasphere due to anatomic variants Extremely high lung shunt fraction Hepatic mapping Lung Shunt study and LSF calculation 6

Brown, MD FSIR Professor of Radiology and Radiologic Sciences Director, Division of Interventional Oncology Vanderbilt University Topics of Interest Ulcer Lung Shunt Fraction Non-target via the Umbilical Artery 2 nd Week Dosing Non-Target Therapy Best advice is AVOIDANCE ALWAYS select the lobar/segmental artery(ies) at the level you will be infusing Power inject and do delayed runs to look for anything suspicious Know where the RGA and GDA are If not sure if a problem, embolize 1
