Study summary

This phase III trial compares hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) (pump chemotherapy) in addition to standard of care chemotherapy versus standard of care chemotherapy alone in treating patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver (liver metastases) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). HAI uses a catheter to carry a tumor-killing chemotherapy drug called floxuridine directly into the liver. HAI is already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in metastatic colorectal cancer to the liver, but it is only available at a small number of hospitals, and most of the time it is not used until standard chemotherapy stops working. Standard chemotherapy drugs 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. Adding HAI to standard chemotherapy may be effective in shrinking or stabilizing unresectable colorectal liver metastases.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine if patients with persistently unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) after treatment with first-line chemotherapy have improved overall survival (OS) with hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) and systemic chemotherapy versus systemic chemotherapy alone.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine whether there is a direct association between hepatic progression free survival (hPFS) and overall survival (OS) when patients are treated with HAI combined with systemic chemotherapy for unresectable CRLM.

II To determine the impact on progression free survival (overall, hepatic and extrahepatic) for patients with unresectable CRLM treated with HAI in combination with systemic chemotherapy.

III. To determine objective response rate (ORR) in the liver, defined as the proportion of patients achieving complete or partial response by Response Evaluation Criteria is Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1.

IV. To determine the rate of conversion to resectable disease, defined as the proportion of patients who successfully convert from unresectable to resectable status and undergo R0/R1 resection/ablation.

V. To determine the rate in which patients are intended to be treated with HAI but are deemed ineligible at the time of planned pump insertion due to detection of occult extrahepatic disease or unsuitable arterial anatomy (Intra-Operative Ineligibility, IOI).

VI. To determine the extent to which patient and disease-specific factors correlate with short- and long-term risk of HAI-specific complications.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM A: Patients undergo surgery to place the HAI pump within 6 weeks of randomization, followed by single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) on study. Patients then receive floxuridine via the HAI pump within 12 weeks of randomization on study. Patients also receive one of the following standard chemotherapy regimens per the treating physician within 16 weeks of randomization: FOLFOX (fluorouracil intravenously [IV], oxaliplatin IV, and leucovorin IV), FOLFIRI (fluorouracil IV, irinotecan IV, and leucovorin IV), or OX/IRI (oxaliplatin IV and irinotecan IV) with or without cetuximab IV and/or panitumumab IV on days 1 and 15 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may have leucovorin omitted from their regimen per institutional standards. Patients also undergo CT and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans throughout the trial.

ARM B: Patients receive one of the following standard chemotherapy regimens per the treating physician within 6 weeks of randomization: FOLFOXIRI (fluorouracil IV, oxaliplatin IV, irinotecan IV, and leucovorin IV), FOLFOX IV, FOLFIRI IV, or OX/IRI IV with or without cetuximab IV, panitumumab IV, and/or bevacizumab IV on days 1 and 15 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may receive capecitabine orally (PO) in substitution for fluorouracil at the discretion of the investigator and may have leucovorin omitted from their regimen per institutional standards. Patients also undergo CT and/or MRI scans throughout the trial.

After completion of treatment, patients follow up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for an additional 3 years.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(17)

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.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

Adjuvant and neoadjuvant

Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

ECOG performance status

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.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

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.

Childbearing potential

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.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Contraception

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.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Platelets

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.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

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.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Investigational drug or device

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.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall survival (OS)

    Patients still living will be censored at the date last known alive. OS will be evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and arms will be compared via a stratified log rank test.

    Time frame: From randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Patients still living without disease progression will be censored at the date of last disease assessment. Disease progression will be based on findings from surveillance cross-sectional imaging of the chest/abdomen/pelvis every 3 months after randomization, defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. Will be analyzed similarly to OS, but with and without stratification for sensitivity.

    Time frame: From randomization to first observed disease progression at any site, or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years

  2. Hepatic PFS

    Patients still living without hepatic disease progression will be censored at the date of last disease assessment. Hepatic disease progression will be based on findings from surveillance cross-sectional imaging of the chest/abdomen/pelvis every 3 months after randomization, defined by RECIST 1.1.

    Time frame: From randomization to first observed disease progression in the liver, or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years

  3. Extrahepatic-PFS

    Patients still living without extrahepatic disease progression will be censored at the date of last disease assessment. Extrahepatic disease progression will be based on findings from surveillance cross-sectional imaging of the chest/abdomen/pelvis every 3 months after randomization, defined by RECIST 1.1.

    Time frame: From randomization to first observed disease progression outside of the liver, or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years

  4. Objective response rate

    Will assess hepatic disease burden specifically. Defined as the proportion of patients achieving complete or partial response by RECIST 1.1. Response will be based on surveillance cross-sectional imaging of the chest/abdomen/pelvis every 3 months (+/- 2 weeks) from randomization. Arms will be compared via a Pearson chi-square test. All rates will be reported with exact binomial 95% confidence intervals.

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

  5. Rate of conversion to resectable disease

    Defined as the proportion of patients who successfully convert from unresectable to resectable status and undergo R0/R1 resection/ablation. All rates will be reported with exact binomial 95% confidence intervals.

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

  6. Intra-operative ineligibility rate

    Defined as the proportion of patients intended to receive hepatic arterial infusion that do not undergo pump implantation due to intraoperative detection of occult extrahepatic disease or unsuitable hepatic arterial anatomy. All rates will be reported with exact binomial 95% confidence intervals.

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

  7. Incidence of adverse events

    Defined according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.

    Time frame: Up to 5 years
