Histotripsy for Ablation of Liver Tumours in Asia

Sponsor: National Cancer Centre, Singapore

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The HALT study aims to evaluate histotripsy in an Asian population for both primary (HCC, CCA) and secondary liver malignancies with liver-limited or oligoprogressive disease. In addition to safety and local control, the study incorporates translational endpoints including immune profiling (PBMCs, cytokines), microbiome shifts, and optional tumour biopsies. This trial will provide critical data on the feasibility, tolerability, and biological impact of histotripsy in a region with the highest burden of liver cancer.

Official title: Histotripsy Ablation for Liver Tumours (HALT): A Multi-centre Prospective Pilot Study on the Safety and Efficacy of Histotripsy in Asian Primary and Secondary Liver Malignancies

Interventions

DEVICE

Histotripsy using HistoSonics Edison™ System

The histotripsy procedure will be performed using the HistoSonics Edison™ System, an image-guided, non-invasive focused ultrasound platform specifically designed for mechanical tissue fractionation. Key steps include general anaesthesia and positioning, pre-treatment planning and imaging, and histotripsy ablation procedure.
