Floxuridine, Dexamethasone, and Irinotecan After Surgery in Treating Patients With Liver Metastases From Colorectal Cancer
A Phase 2 study testing dexamethasone, floxuridine and irinotecan hydrochloride in people with Colorectal Cancer and Metastatic Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as floxuridine, dexamethasone, and irinotecan, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Hepatic arterial infusion uses a catheter to deliver chemotherapy directly to the liver. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Phase I-II Study of Hepatic Arterial Therapy Via Pump (Protocol D97-063) With Floxuridine (FUDR) and Dexamethasone (DEX) in Combination With Intravenous Irinotecan as Adjuvant Treatment After Resection of Hepatic Metastases From Colorectal Cancer
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as floxuridine, dexamethasone, and irinotecan, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Hepatic arterial infusion uses a catheter to deliver chemotherapy directly to the liver. Combining more than one drug and giving them in different ways may kill any tumor cells remaining after surgery.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of irinotecan combined with hepatic arterial infusion with floxuridine and dexamethasone after surgery in treating patients who have liver metastases from colorectal cancer.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of hepatic arterial infusion of floxuridine (FUDR) and dexamethasone given via an implanted pump in combination with weekly intravenous irinotecan as adjuvant treatment after resection of hepatic metastases in patients with hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer. (The MTDs of irinotecan and floxuridine have been reached as of 10/15/03; phase I closed to accrual as of 10/15/03.)
- Determine the efficacy of this combination chemotherapy after liver resection, in terms of 2-year survival and 2-year recurrence rates, in these patients.
- Determine the pharmacokinetic effects of intrahepatic FUDR and liver resection on the metabolism of irinotecan to its active metabolite, SN-38 in these patients.
- Determine the safety and efficacy of the pump used in delivering intra-arterial chemotherapy to the liver in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation* study of floxuridine and irinotecan.
Patients undergo hepatic resection and pump placement into the abdomen. About 4 weeks after surgery, patients receive irinotecan IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 15. Patients also receive floxuridine and dexamethasone intra-arterially via an implanted pump continuously on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.
Sequential dose escalation of irinotecan is followed by sequential dose escalation of floxuridine. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of irinotecan and floxuridine until the maximum tolerated doses (MTDs) are determined. The MTD* (phase II dose) is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
NOTE: *The MTDs of irinotecan and floxuridine have been reached as of 10/15/03; phase I closed to accrual as of 10/15/03
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 4 months for 2-4 years, and then every 6 months thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 2-24 patients will be accrued for the phase I portion of this study within 1 year (phase I closed to accrual as of 10/15/03). A total of 50 additional patients will be accrued for this study at the phase II dose level.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing dexamethasone, floxuridine and irinotecan hydrochloride in people with Colorectal Cancer and Metastatic Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jun 2013.
