Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, capecitabine, and floxuridine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Hepatic arterial infusion uses a catheter to carry tumor-killing substances, such as chemotherapy, directly into the liver. Giving chemotherapy in different ways may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether giving oxaliplatin and capecitabine together with an hepatic arterial infusion with floxuridine is more effective than giving oxaliplatin and capecitabine alone in treating patients who are undergoing surgery and/or ablation for liver metastases due to colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying oxaliplatin, capecitabine, and an hepatic arterial infusion with floxuridine to see how well they work compared to oxaliplatin and capecitabine in treating patients who are undergoing surgery and/or ablation for liver metastases due to colorectal cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression-free Interval (PFI)

    Time to first recurrence of colon cancer at any site

    Time from randomization through year 5

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Liver PFI as Measured by Time to Hepatic Progression.

    Time from randomization through year 5

  • Survival as Measured by Time to Death From Any Cause.

    Time from randomization through year 5

  • Scales Specific to Social/Family, Emotional, and Functional Well-being, Perceived Convenience of Care, and Self-reported Symptoms

    Prior to randomization, 4-6 weeks after surgery, 18 weeks after starting chemotherapy and after completion of chemotherapy

  • Quality of Life as Measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Trial Outcome Index at Baseline, at 4-6 Weeks Following Surgery (Before Initiation of Chemotherapy), and Periodically During Study

    Prior to randomization, 4-6 weeks after surgery, 18 weeks after the start of chemotherapy and after completion of chemotherapy

Study Arms (2)

Arm 1: Capecitabine + Oxaliplatin

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Within 4-6 weeks after surgery and/or ablation, patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1 and oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 8 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Drug: capecitabineDrug: oxaliplatin

Arm 2: Floxuridine + Oxaliplatin + Capecitabine

EXPERIMENTAL

Within 4-6 weeks after surgery and/or ablation, patients receive a continuous hepatic arterial infusion of floxuridine on days 1-14, oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on day 22, and oral capecitabine twice daily on days 22-35. Treatment repeats every 42 days for 4 cycles in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Beginning with cycle 5, patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1 and oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14. Treatment with oxaliplatin and capecitabine repeats every 21 days for 4 cycles.
