Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: colorectal cancer
metastatic colorectal cancer progressed on at least two lines of chemotherapy
|
Drug: TATE and pembrolizumab
All liver metastatic lesions will be treated with TATE for maximally debulking. Pembrolizumab IV infusion per standard schedule every 3 or 6 weeks until progression or maximally 2 years.
Other Name: TATE: Trans-arterial Tirapazamine Embolization; Drug: TAS-102 pill The comparator of the mCRC arm is TAS-102 at 60 mg BID 5 days per week for 2 weeks then 2 weeks off.
Other Name: LONSURF Drug: Regorafenib Pill As an alternative to TAS-102 per treating physician's discretion. If selected, Regorafenib 160 mg oral daily for 3 weeks on and one week off, every 4 weeks per cycle. Do not take Regoarefnib if taking TAS-102.
Other Name: STIVARGA |
Experimental: NSCLC
Liver metastatic NSCLC progressed on immune checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy
|
Drug: TATE and pembrolizumab
All liver metastatic lesions will be treated with TATE for maximally debulking. Pembrolizumab IV infusion per standard schedule every 3 or 6 weeks until progression or maximally 2 years.
