This study is currently recruiting participants.

  Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. Chemoprotective drugs such as dexamethasone may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug and giving them after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining adjuvant hepatic arterial infusion with combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have resectable hepatic (liver) metastases from colorectal cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Maximum tolerated dose [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Correlate thymidylate synthase, dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, and ERCC-1 with survival and recurrence as measured by normal and tumor liver tissue [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 78
Study Start Date: January 2003
Estimated Primary Completion Date: June 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of intravenous oxaliplatin and fluorouracil when administered with leucovorin calcium in combination with hepatic arterial infusion of floxuridine and dexamethasone in patients with resectable hepatic metastases secondary to colorectal adenocarcinoma.
  • Correlate thymidylate synthase, dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, and excision repair cross-complementing genes in normal and tumor liver tissue with survival and recurrence in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of oxaliplatin and fluorouracil.

Patients undergo surgery for resection of the liver and placement of the hepatic artery pump.

  • Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) therapy: Approximately 4 weeks after surgery, patients receive HAI therapy comprising floxuridine and dexamethasone on day 1.
  • Systemic chemotherapy: Patients receive oxaliplatin IV and leucovorin calcium IV over 120 minutes and fluorouracil IV bolus (followed by a 48-hour infusion of fluorouracil) on days 15 and 29.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of oxaliplatin and fluorouracil until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Treatment repeats every 36 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months after the completion of treatment.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 2-78 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-16 months.
