Study Summary

This trial is for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to their liver. It is testing if a pump that gives chemotherapy drugs directly to the liver for 2 weeks at a time is effective.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver, who have tried or can't tolerate certain chemotherapy regimens. They must be in good physical condition (ECOG ≤1), have proper organ and marrow function, and agree to use contraception. Excluded are those with high-risk genetic features needing other treatments, serious illnesses, active infections like Hepatitis B/C, pregnant/nursing women, other cancers within five years (except some skin/thyroid cancers), or those eligible for complete surgical removal of liver metastases.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a hepatic artery infusion pump delivering Floxuridine and Dexamethasone directly into the liver combined with systemic chemotherapy drugs like cetuximab and irinotecan. Participants will undergo cycles of treatment including regular exams, blood tests every two weeks for chemo via catheter/port, scans every three months, and possible tissue sampling.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions at the catheter site on the abdomen where the pump is placed under the skin; general side effects from chemotherapy such as fatigue; nausea; low blood counts leading to increased infection risk; potential harm to unborn children which necessitates contraception.
