Study summary

This is a Phase II study of combined surgical resection for patients with both intra- and extra-hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer. The primary objective is to determine the two-year disease free survival (DFS) of patients who undergo surgical resection of both intra- and extra-hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer. The secondary objectives are to determine the overall survival rate (OS), patterns of treatment failure, treatment efficacy (R0 resection rate), peri-operative morbidity and mortality rates, health related quality of life, and hospital length of stay.

Read the detailed description

This phase II clinical study will examine the outcomes of surgical therapy for patients with both intra- and extra-hepatic CRC metastases.

The treatment protocol includes surgical resection of metastases from Colorectal cancer. Multi-modality co-interventions such as chemotherapy (neo-adjuvant, or post-operative), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and/or portal vein embolization (PVE) will be permitted.

The eligibility criteria include: patients with both intra-hepatic and extra-hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer, the number of extra-hepatic metastases must be three or less on pre-operative imaging, all metastatic deposits must be resectable with R0 intent, there must be no contra-indications to major surgery and an ECOG performance status of 0, 1 or 2.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 27, 2014, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
