NCT02015754

Brief Summary

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and safety of using small beads (70-150 micron in place of 100-300 micron) to deliver chemotherapy into the liver to treat patients with liver lesions from colorectal cancer. The beads (LC-Bead M1) will be loaded with irinotecan (DEBIRI-M1), and used to administer transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Eligibility: Patients with liver cancer from colorectal cancer. Study Overview/ Treatment: DEBIRI, loaded with irinotecan, is a device that utilizes tiny beads (70-150 microns) to deliver chemotherapy agents into liver tumor(s) via the hepatic artery. This device allows for continuous release of irinotecan into the liver tumor tissue(s) causing necrosis of the targeted tumor(s). The potential advantages of the smaller beads are deeper penetration into the tumor bed, while avoiding premature proximal occlusion of vessels feeding the tumor, and more consistent dosing. Response to therapy will be evaluated monthly by clinic visits and blood tests (to include assessment of liver function and tumor markers) and by imaging (usually MRIs) every 1-2 months. Patients will be on study for 6 months after which they will be exited from the study and followed for survival. Once exited from the study they will continue to be eligible to receive DEBIRI, should it be recommended.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Success of DEBIRI-M1 Procedure as a Measure of Feasibility (Percentage of Successful Treatments)

    Feasibility is defined as achieving an acceptable level of technical success in the use of DEBIRI beads treating hepatic metastases in patients with colorectal cancer.

  • Safety, Defined as Demonstrating Tolerable Device-related Toxicity Profile in the Use of DEBIRI Beads Used to Treat Hepatic Metastases in Patients With Colorectal Cancer

    Toxicities assessed as being at least possibly related will be recorded including system organ class, subclass, grade, frequency and time interval from DEBIRI-M1.

EXPERIMENTAL
Drug: DEBIRIDevice: LC Bead M1Procedure: TACE

Interventions

DEBIRIDRUG

Irinotecan hydrochloride is a semisynthetic derivative of camptothecin, an alkaloid extracted from the tree Camptotheca acuminata. Irinotecan hydrochloride trihydrate is a pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder, it is mixed in DC Beads and injected in the tumor.

DEBIRI

The LC Bead M1, loaded with irinotecan (DEBIRI-M1) to treat patients with hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with a diagnosis of colorectal cancer with hepatic metastases who have failed or are intolerant to at least one systemic chemotherapy or liver directed therapy.
  • The patient has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2 at study entry.
  • The patient is age 18 years or older.
  • The patient has a life expectancy of \>12 weeks.
  • Patients with liver dominant disease defined as \>/=75% tumor body burden confined to the liver
  • Less than 60% liver tumor replacement
  • At least one month has elapsed since most recent prior cancer therapy with the following exception:
  • Chemotherapy (excluding irinotecan based regimens) may continue if there is evidence of hepatic progression on treatment providing there is no change in the therapy in the 1 month prior to DEBIRI-TACE treatment and any immediate chemotherapeutic toxicity that will complicate DEBIRI-TACE is resolved. In this case, the chemotherapy may continue because it is continuing to control the extrahepatic disease.
  • The patient has measurable disease that will be directly treated with intrahepatic therapy (as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors \[RECIST\] 1.1).
  • Patients with at least one measurable liver metastases\> 2 cm.
  • Patients with patent main portal vein
  • The patient has adequate hematologic function as defined by the following criteria:
  • An absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>/= 1500/mL, Hemoglobin \>/= 9.5 g/dL, and a Platelet count \>/=75,000/mL, INR \</=1.3 prior to receiving DEBIRI-TACE.
  • The patient has adequate hepatic function, as defined by the following criteria:
  • Total bilirubin\</= 2.0 mg/dL, Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) \</= 5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN), Albumin \>2.
  • +6 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • The patient has a history of another primary cancer (ie, a primary cancer not associated with the patient's current liver tumor), with the exception of (a) curatively resected nonmelanomatous skin cancer; (b) curatively treated cervical carcinoma in situ; or (c) other primary solid tumor treated with curative intent, no known active disease present, and no treatment administered during the last 3 years prior to enrollment (date of informed consent).
  • Any contraindication for hepatic embolization procedures:
  • Large shunt as determined by the investigator (pretesting with TcMMA not required)
  • Severe atheromatosis
  • Hepatofugal blood flow
  • Main portal vein occlusion (e.g. thrombus or tumor)
  • Any patient eligible for curative treatment (i.e. resection or radiofrequency ablation)
  • Patients' whose only measurable disease is within an area of the liver previously subject to radiotherapy
  • Contraindications to irinotecan:
  • Chronic inflammatory bowel disease and/or bowel obstruction
  • History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to irinotecan hydrochloride trihydrate, lactic acid or to any of the excipients of Camptosar
  • Severe bone marrow failure
  • History of Gilbert Syndrome (specific testing not required)
