Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether radiation provided locally to the liver tumor vasculature environment will demonstrate a response of tumor decline. This radiation may cause the tumor cells to die.

This is a phase II clinical trial to investigate safety and efficacy of radioactive microsphere (SIR-Spheres® microspheres). Uveal melanoma patients with progressing hepatic metastases who received no more than one intra-hepatic arterial treatment will be enrolled. Patients will be first stratified into two groups: Group A, no prior intra-hepatic arterial treatment; Group B, one prior intra-hepatic arterial treatment).
Detailed Description: This is an open-label, uncontrolled single institution phase II study for metastatic uveal melanoma. Uveal melanoma patients who received one or less prior trans-arterial embolization treatment of hepatic metastasis are eligible. Patients will be stratified into two groups: Group A, no prior intra-hepatic arterial treatment, n=24; Group B, one prior hepatic trans-arterial embolization treatment, n=24. They will be treated with intra-hepatic arterial infusion of Yttrium-90 radioactive microspheres (SIR-Spheres® microspheres).

Within 4 weeks prior to radiosphere treatment, patients undergo the pre-assessment angiogram and technetium-99m-labelled macroaggregated albumin (99m Tc -MAA) nuclear scan to block the collateral flow to non-target organs and to calculate the shunting rate to the lung. Once patients meet the eligibility criteria of the study, the radiosphere treatment will be given. The Yttrium-90 radioactive microsphere treatment generally consists of two sequential uni-lobar treatments, approximately 4 weeks (3 to 5 weeks) apart. In selected patients, if clinically feasible, a biopsy of hepatic metastasis will be obtained prior to radiosphere treatment to investigate the correlation between efficacy of treatments and molecular characteristics of metastatic uveal melanoma.

The side effects of Yttrium-90 radioactive microspheres will be monitored every 2 weeks for one month following each treatment and then every month for three months after the last radiosphere treatment. The efficacy of radiosphere treatment will be evaluated every 3 months from the last treatment for 2 years until disease progression or death.

If patients experience grade 3 toxicity after the first treatment with Yttrium-90 radioactive microspheres, the second radiosphere treatment will be held until the resolution of toxicity to grade 1 or less or for a maximum of 6 weeks. The dose of the second radiosphere treatment will be decreased by 50% for liver-related grade 3 toxicity. A dose reduction will not be considered for grade 3 GI toxicity unless the next treatment is repeated to the same hepatic lobe. The study treatment will be discontinued for grade 4 toxicity or if patients do not recover from the grade 3 toxicity to at least a grade 1 within 6 weeks.

The study will require two years of accrual with an additional two years of follow-up for survival analysis.
