About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial Of Toxicity Assessment In Two Cohorts Of Patients (Resection Alone Or Ablation With Or Without Resection Of Hepatic Metastases From Colorectal Cancer) Treated With Adjuvant Hepatic Arterial Infusion (HAI) FUDR Plus Systemic CPT-11

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as floxuridine 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 systemic irinotecan and hepatic arterial infusion with floxuridine after surgery in treating patients who have hepatic (liver) metastases from colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the toxicity of hepatic arterial infusion with floxuridine and systemic irinotecan adjuvant to liver metastases resection or ablation with or without resection in patients with hepatic metastases secondary to colorectal cancer.
  • Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the time to any hepatic recurrence or progression in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to prior therapy (liver metastases resection only vs ablation with or without resection).

Within 4-8 weeks after prior resection or ablation, patients receive hepatic arterial infusion of floxuridine continuously on days 1-14 and irinotecan IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing floxuridine and irinotecan hydrochloride in people with Colorectal Cancer and Metastatic Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 10 sites 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 6 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

overall survival (time frame: Up to 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 6 Jul 2016.
