What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of bevacizumab, to hepatic arterial therapy with floxuridine (FUDR) and dexamethasone (Dex) (regional chemotherapy), and either oxaliplatin or CPT-11, plus 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (systemic chemotherapy) will increase disease free survival in patients who have undergone liver resection. The patient will be randomized (a computer generated decision as in the flip of a coin) to receive, or not to receive bevacizumab in addition to regional and systemic chemotherapy.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults over 18 with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver, but not elsewhere. They must have had a liver resection and meet specific health criteria like normal blood counts and organ function tests. Pregnant women, those with recent serious injuries or surgeries, uncontrolled diseases like heart conditions or strokes, and known allergies to similar drugs are excluded.

Inclusion Criteria

Abdominal and pelvic CT scans and chest CT or x-ray within 6 weeks prior to registration (MRI of abdomen may be substituted for CT of abdomen)

My colorectal cancer has spread to my liver and there's no sign of it outside the liver.

My liver cancer can potentially be fully removed by surgery, and it hasn't spread elsewhere.

Exclusion Criteria

I have not had radiation to the liver, but it's okay if I had pelvic radiation over 4 weeks ago.

I do not have any serious wounds, ulcers, or unhealed bone fractures.

I take more than 325 mg of aspirin daily or use anti-inflammatory drugs that affect blood clotting.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• 5-fluorouracil
• Bevacizumab
• CPT-11
• Dexamethasone
• Floxuridine
• Leucovorin
• Oxaliplatin

Trial Overview The study aims to see if adding bevacizumab (a drug that inhibits blood vessel growth in tumors) to hepatic arterial infusion of floxuridine/dexamethasone (chemotherapy delivered directly into the liver's arteries), along with systemic chemotherapy improves disease-free survival after liver surgery.

Group I: 2 Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

HAI plus systemic chemotherapy alone

Group II: 1 Active Control 1 Intervention

Bevacizumab in addition to HAI plus systemic chemotherapy
