Brief 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.

Conditions

Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma; Stage IV Colorectal Cancer AJCC v8; Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Liver; Unresectable Colorectal Carcinoma

Outcome Measures

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.

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

Secondary Outcomes (7)

• Progression free survival (PFS)

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

• Hepatic PFS

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

• Extrahepatic-PFS

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

• Objective response rate

  Up to 5 years

• Rate of conversion to resectable disease

  Up to 5 years

Study Arms (2)

Arm A (HAI, floxuridine, standard chemotherapy)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients undergo surgery to place the HAI pump within 6 weeks of randomization, followed by single 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 IV, FOLFIRI IV, or OX/IRI 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 MRI scans throughout the trial.
