The LEGACY study is a robust multicenter study confirming TheraSphere as a neoadjuvant or standalone therapy in treating HCC.2

Study Objective
To assess local tumor control and duration of response following treatment with Y-90 glass microspheres in patients with unresectable solitary HCC lesions.

Study Design
Multi-center, single-arm, retrospective study conducted at 3 U.S. sites.* Consecutive patients meeting the eligibility criteria were treated with TheraSphere Y-90 Glass Microspheres at each site between January 2014 and December 2017.
First and Only
- Used highly clinically relevant criteria for localized tumor control (mRECIST)
- Reported a median dose to perfused liver volume of 410 Gy
- Demonstrated 100% of patients achieved CR or PR (localized mRECIST)
Key Eligibility Criteria
Unresectable solitary lesions (≤ 8 cm); Selective, lobar, or mixed administration of Y-90 glass microspheres (TheraSphere); Treatment purpose (neoadjuvant to transplantation or resection or stand-alone treatment); Child-Pugh score A; BCLC A or BCLC C (ECOG 1); No prior liver transplantation, resection, locoregional treatment or systemic therapy; No portal vein thrombosis or extrahepatic disease.

LEGACY STUDY CONCLUSION

LEGACY is the first multicenter study to report a high median perfused volume absorbed dose of 410 Gy with TheraSphere, which resulted in an 88% best response, excellent and durable tumor control and high overall survival rate in patients with early and advanced HCC.
