Device: DC Bead™
Drug: 5 FU
Registration Number
NCT01631539
Lead Sponsor
Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess feasibility of chemoembolization with DC Bead loaded with Irinotecan in combination with Cetuximab and 5FU/LV as a first line treatment for wildtype KRAS unresectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer.

Detailed Description

20 patients will be included. The duration of the trial will be approximately 24 months.

Every 8 weeks there will be a tumour lesion assessment.

Target Recruitment
Not specified
Inclusion Criteria
  1. Confirmed diagnosis of stage IV KRAS wild-type colorectal adenocarcinoma, with metastases predominantly in the liver (≥80% of tumor burden) that are deemed unresectable.

  2. Primary tumour has been treated with complete surgical resection without evidence of residual tumour

  3. Patients must have at least 1 measurable lesion (RECIST criteria)

  4. Performance status ECOG 0-1

  5. Aged ≥18 years

  6. Life expectancy > 3 months

  7. No prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease

  8. Hematologic function: WBC ≥ 3.0 x 10*9/L, platelets ≥ 100 x10*9/L

  9. Adequate organ function as measured by:

    • Serum creatinine £ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
    • Serum transaminases (AST & ALT) £ 5 x ULN
    • Bilirubin> 1.5 times the upper limit of the normal range
  10. Women of child bearing potential and fertile men are required to use effective contraception (negative βHCG for women of child-bearing age)

  11. Signed, written informed consent

  12. Patients with patent main portal vein

  13. Maximum liver involvement ≤60%

Exclusion Criteria
  1. Presence of CNS metastases

  2. Contraindications to FU/LV, Irinotecan or Cetuximab

  3. Active bacterial, viral or fungal infection within 72 hours of study entry

  4. Women who are pregnant or breast feeding

  5. Allergy to contrast media or history of severe hypersensitivity to study drugs.

  6. Presence of another concurrent malignancy. Prior malignancy in the last 5 years except adequately treated basal or squamous cell skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix

  7. Any contraindication for hepatic embolization procedures:

    • porto-systemic shunt
    • hepatofugal blood flow
    • severe atheromatosis
  8. Contraindication to hepatic artery catheterization, such as a patient with severe peripheral vascular disease precluding catheterization

  9. Other significant medical or surgical condition, or any medication or treatment regimens, that would place the patient at undue risk, that would preclude the safe use of chemoembolization or would interfere with study participation
