Overview

This study is being done to answer the following question:

Is the combination of the Medtronic pump and the Codman catheter device a safe alternative to the C3000 Codman pump for delivering chemotherapy directly into the liver of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer or cholangiocarcinoma?

Description

Group 1 unresectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer

  • Patients will receive either FOLFIRI, FOLFOX, Irinotecan or Irinotecan/oxaliplatin (antiEGFR agent may be added to any of the systemic treatments) on Days 1 and 15 of each cycle, however initiation with systemic chemotherapy will not take place until 4 weeks post-surgery for pump placement.

Group 2 resectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer - Patients will receive either FOLFIRI, FOLFOX, Irinotecan or Irinotecan/oxaliplatin on Days 1 and 15 of each cycle, however initiation with systemic chemotherapy will not take place until 4 weeks post-surgery for pump placement.

Group 3 unresectable cholangiocarcinoma

  • Patients will receive Gemcitabine (800 mg/m2 IV over 30 minutes) and Oxaliplatin (85 mg/ m2 IV over 120 minutes) or Gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2 IV over 30 minutes) alone on Days 1 and 15 of each cycle, however initiation with systemic chemotherapy will not take place until 4 weeks post-surgery for pump placement.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. History of histologically confirmed colorectal adenocarcinoma metastatic to the liver with no clinically or radiographically confirmed extrahepatic disease (or) Histologically confirmed cholangiocarcinoma (Clinical or radiographic evidence of metastatic disease that has been resected is allowed, provided there is no recurrence in that area prior to protocol consent)
  2. Confirmation of diagnosis must be performed at VMMC
  3. Participant may have completely resected hepatic metastases without current evidence of other metastatic disease
  4. Lab values ≤14 days prior to registration:

    ANC ≥ 1.0(9)/L Platelet count ≥ 75 (9)/L Creatinine ≤1.8 mg/dL AST 0 to 2x reference value ALK PHOS 0 to < 1.2 x reference value Tot Bili 0 to < 1.2 x reference value

  5. Prior chemotherapy is acceptable if last dose of oxaliplatin or irinotecan is given ≥3 weeks prior to planned first dosing on this protocol. 5-FU or 5-FU leucovorin may be given ≥2 weeks prior to planned first dosing on this protocol. [Note: no chemotherapy to be given after resection of liver lesions prior to treatment on this study]
  6. Any investigation agent is acceptable if administered ≥3 months before planned first dose on this protocol
  7. ECOG <=1
  8. Participants ≥18 years of age

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Prior radiation to the liver (prior radiation therapy to the pelvis is acceptable if competed at least 4 weeks prior to the planned first dose of treatment on protocol)
  2. Colorectal cancer that is BRAF mutant or defective in mismatch repair.
  3. Active infection, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy
  4. Female participants who are pregnant or lactating - or planning to become pregnant within 6 months after the end of the treatment (female participants of child-bearing potential must have negative pregnancy test ≤72 hours before treatment start)
  5. If in the opinion of the treating investigator a participant has any serious medical problems which may preclude receiving this type of treatment
  6. Participants with current evidence of hepatitis A, B, C (i.e., active hepatitis)
  7. Participants with history or known presence of primary CNS tumors, seizures not wellcontrolled with standard medical therapy, or history of stroke will also be excluded
  8. Serious or non-healing active wound, ulcer, or bone fracture
  9. History of other malignancy, except:
    1. Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease present for ≥3 years prior to registration and felt to be at low risk for recurrence by the treating physician
    2. Adequately treated non-melanomatous skin cancer or lentigo malignant without evidence of disease
    3. Adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
