This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of pulmonary suffusion in controlling minimal residual disease in patients with sarcoma or colorectal carcinoma that has spread to the lungs. Pulmonary suffusion is a minimally invasive delivery of chemotherapeutic agents like cisplatin to lung tissues. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Pulmonary suffusion may also be useful in avoiding later use of drugs by vein that demonstrate no effect on tumors when delivered locally.
The Phase 1 portion of the study has been completed.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the pulmonary suffusion-associated changes in local tumor microenvironment (TME) and potential of suffusion as an immune modulation enhancement. (Phase II) II. To determine overall survival (OS) in patients receiving pulmonary suffusion compared to historical controls, in patients with completely resected pulmonary metastases (unilateral and bilateral disease). (Phase II) III. To compare histology of tumor samples with previously resected specimens with attention to biomarkers of systemic immune recognition in patients eligible for repeat suffusion. (Phase II) IV. To obtain tumor and systemic immune biomarkers including cytokine activations for correlation with clinical responses. (Phase II) V. To correlate local control with biomarker for tissue effect from chemotherapy (including tissue levels of platinum, alkaline phosphatase [ALP]). (Phase II) VI. To correlate local disease control with tumor biomarker for metastasis (circulating [circ] ribonucleic acid [RNA], micro [mi]RNA). (Phase II)
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo pulmonary suffusion consisting of cisplatin via infusion. Patients then undergo metastasectomy. Patients found to have unresectable sarcoma may receive chemotherapy within 4-8 weeks of metastasectomy.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 3 months for one year and then every 6 months for up to 5 years.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.
A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.
Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).
Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.

Incidence of local toxicities (Phase I)
Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) will be defined based on the rate of drug-related grade 3-5 adverse events. These will be assessed using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)5.0.
Time frame: Up to 2 years
Recommended phase II dose (Phase I)
Time frame: Up to 5 years
Local recurrence (Phase II)
Will be treated as bivariate time-to-event data. Freedom from local recurrence will be summarized using standard Kaplan-Meier methods and the 2-year local recurrence-free rate will be estimated with a 90% confidence interval calculated using Greenwood's formula.
Time frame: From resection until local recurrence in the suffused lung or last clinic follow-up, assessed up to 2 years
Incidence of local and systemic toxicities (Phase II)
Assessed using the NCI CTCAE v5.0. Will be summarized by grade within each arm using frequencies and relative frequencies
Time frame: Up to 5 years
Incidence of local and systemic toxicities (Phase I)
Assessed using the NCI CTCAE v5.0.
Time frame: Up to 5 years
Disease-free survival (Phase II)
Will be summarized using standard Kaplan-Meier methods, where estimates of the median survival and 2-year survival rates will be obtained with 90% confidence intervals.
Time frame: From suffusion until recurrence (local or distant), death due to or related to disease, or last follow-up, assessed up to 2 years
Local recurrence within the treated (suffusion) and untreated lungs for patients with bilateral disease (Phase II)
Will be compared between the suffused and non-suffused lungs using McNemar?s test. A 90% confidence interval about the difference in local recurrence rates will also be obtained.
Time frame: At 2 years
Rate of successful Chemotherapy delivery
Measured by blood draws for drug levels
Time frame: Periprocedural
Lung injury (% reduction of spirometry and differential reduction by quantitative perfusion scan) (Phase II)
The association between lung injury and response and survival outcomes will be evaluated using logistic and Cox regression models.
Time frame: Up to 5 years
Immune markers (Phase II)
Will be correlated to primary endpoints. The cytokine activation, tumor, immune, and stress related biomarkers will be summarized using the appropriate descriptive statistics. The association between overall response and the biomarkers will be evaluated using logistic regression models. The association between time-to-event outcomes (freedom from recurrence and survival) and the biomarkers will be evaluated using Cox regression models. All model assumptions will be verified graphically and fit using Firth's method.
Time frame: Up to 5 years
Overall survival (Phase II)
Will be compared to historical controls. Will be summarized using standard Kaplan-Meier methods, where estimates of the median survival and 2-year survival rates will be obtained with 90% confidence intervals.
Time frame: Up to 5 years
Started Jul 2020 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for May 2029, 106 months after the start.
