  2. Agenda • Background on Ablation Devices • Physics (RFA, MWA, IRE) • Pre-Clinical Data • Clinical Applications

  3. Thermal ablation uses Electromagnetic Spectrum MWA 300GHZ 300 MHz R F A 3HZ Thermal ablation uses the EM frequencies of 3 Hz and 300 GHz.

  4. Irreversible Electroporation • Electroporation • Electric pulses create tiny holes in the cell • Temporary as long as the energy is low • 360 V/cm • Chemotherapy and Genetic therapy delivery • “Irreversible” • Higher energy • 680 V/cm1 • Create permanent holes in the cell • Cell loses essential molecules and internal signals tell the cell to die

  5. Electroporation • Reversible electroporation is used to allow genes and drugs to enter cells (300-600 V/cm) • Direct current pulse leads to elevation of transmembrane potentials creating permanent cell membrane pores: ~1,500 V/cm • Strong electric fields applied across a cell can cause: • Irreversible permeabilization • of the cell membrane: “IRE”

  6. How IRE kills cells

  7. Advantages of IRE • IRE is non-thermal • Little to no scar tissue formation • Structural Protein Sparing • Nerves and bile ducts in the area of ablation have the potential to heal after treatment • No heat sink effect • Compared to thermal techniques where blood flow dissipates heat. Electric pulses are not effected by blow flow.

  8. Patient Demographics

  9. Multiple IRE electrodes to treat larger lesions minimum: 2 parallel electrodes spaced 1.5-2 cm

  10. NO Heat Sink Effect

  11. Case close to bile duct and major vein • Post-Tx • 3 mo. f/u MRI Pre-Tx Tx

  12. No tumor for +778 days

  13. Perivascular/periductal Liver Metastases28 patients/ 65 tumors: 1 arrhythmia; 1 PV thrombosis (3%) 6 months: 92% Complete Ablation Kingham P et al: IRE for Perivascular Hepatic Malignant Tumors. J Am Coll Surg 2012; 215(3): 379-87

  14. Animal Lung IRE LUNG close to bronchus Post IRE: GGO Applicators 1 week 3 weeks

  15. Tumor near airway • Post-Tx • 3 mo. PET scan • Pre-Tx • Tx

  16. IRE as an Ablation Tool: Potential Advantages • Non-Thermal: -Application in Locations non eligible for Thermal Ablation -Limit recurrences near vessels by avoiding the “heat sink” effect • Cellular Kill Mechanism Avoids Damage to: - Extracellular Matrix. This may result in fewer complications: Near Bile Ducts, Intestines, Ureters, Bronchi, Vital structures.

  17. 51 year old with rectal cancer recurrence near rectum

  18. NO tumor for +565 days

  19. IRE Rectal Wall Transmural Necrosis; No Perforation at 14 days

  20. Applications: IRE Where Thermal ablation is NOT feasible • Pancreas: Locally advanced adenocarcinoma 100% success at 90 days.Martin RC e al J Am Coll Surg 2012; 215(3): 361-9 • Perivascular Liver Tumors. Kingham P et al: IRE for Perivascular Hepatic Malignant Tumors. J Am Coll Surg 2012; 215(3): 379-87 • Prostate: A potential Therapeutic Paradigm Shift. Ward JF Curr Opin Urol 2012; (2): 104-108 • Intracranial: Canine brain Surgery. Garcia PA Conf Proc IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc 2009: 6513-6. and Technol Cancer Res Treat 2011; 10(1): 73-83 • Blood Brain barrier Disruption: Rat Hjoui M et al. MRI study on reversible and irreversible electroporation induced blood brain barrier disruption. Plos One. 2012;7(8) • Small Intenstine: Rat: Complete ablation but recovery of Epithelium in 3 weeks. Phillips MA. Br J Cancer 2012; 31; 106(3): 490-5

  21. Enhancing Irreversible Electroporation A zone of Reversible electroporation Surrounds the Area of IRE A lethal agent can be targeted to the reversible zone: Electrochemotherapy Gene Electrotransfer Electrochemotherapy : A new technological approach in treatment of Liver Metastases. Edhemovic et al Technol Cancer Res Treat 2011 Oct; 10(5):475-85 Treatment Planning of Electroporation-Based medical Interventions: electrochemotherapy, gene electrotransfer and IRE Phys Med Biol 2012; 7;57(17)5425-40 Reversible Irreversible Model assumes 360 V/cm threshold for reversible and 680 V/cm threshold for irreversible

  22. Conclusion • Unlike Thermal Ablation, IRE, can be performed in close proximity to bile ducts, major vessels, bladder, rectum, and nerves, with an acceptable safety profile. • Longer term follow up is performed to determine efficacy. • Further research will determine the potential of this new ablation technology
