Hepatic Arterial Infusion With Floxuridine and Dexamethasone in Combination With Intravenous Oxaliplatin Plus Irinotecan in Patients With Unresectable Hepatic Metastases From Colorectal Cancer

June 29, 2021 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

A Phase I Study of Hepatic Arterial Infusion With Floxuridine and Dexamethasone in Combination With Intravenous Oxaliplatin Plus Irinotecan in Patients With Unresectable Hepatic Metastases From Colorectal Cancer.

The purpose of this study is to see how well patients tolerate the side effects of treatment with Floxuridine, Oxaliplatin and Irinotecan. We also want to know if these methods used together are a useful way of treating cancer. We have studied these drugs and know the best doses of each when they are used alone. We do not yet know how well the drugs work with each other. This study will tell us the best doses of each drug when they are given over the same period of time.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Confirmation of diagnosis must be performed at MSKCC.

  • Patient's liver metastases must be deemed unresectable and comprise <70% of the liver parenchyma.
  • A patient may have had prior chemotherapy or be previously untreated.
  • Patient may not have received prior treatment with FUDR or >2 doses of Oxaliplatin.
  • KPS > or = to 60%.
  • WBC > or = to 3,000 cells/mm3 and platelet count > or = to 100,000 cells/mm3 within 14 days of registration.
  • Creatinine < or = to 1.5 mg/dl within 14 days of registration.
  • Total serum bilirubin < or = 2.0 mg/dl within 14 days of registration.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • No active concurrent malignancies: except a patient's potentially resectable colorectal primary.
  • Patient must not have obstruction of GI or GU tract.
  • Patient must not have current, symptomatic peripheral sensory neuropathy.
  • No prior radiation to liver.
  • No active infection, ascites, or hepatic encephalopathy.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: 1
Patients will undergo pump placement and biopsy of diseased liver tissue. Chemotherapy will be initiated as soon as possible following verification of adequate pump placement and perfusion by radiographic pump study. Treatment will continue indefinitely unless a patient experiences a treatment endpoint.
For patients on the 4-week cycle: On the first day of each cycle, the pump will be filled with FUDR and dexamethasone. The pump will be emptied of drugs after 2 weeks (on day 15 of each cycle) and filled with heparin (which is used to prevent blood from clotting) and saline. Whether the pump contains drug or heparin and saline, it will need to be emptied and refilled about every two weeks. We will inject either the drugs or the saline and heparin into the pump through the skin using a needle and syringe. In summary, 2 weeks of drug in the pump is followed by 2 weeks without drug in the pump. The systemic chemotherapy (Oxaliplatin/CPT-11) will be administered on the same day as the pump is filled and emptied, ie. Day 1 and Day 15 of each cycle.
For patients on the 5-week cycle: On the first day of each cycle, the pump will be filled with FUDR and dexamethasone. The pump will be emptied of drugs after 2 weeks (on day 15 of each cycle) and filled with heparin and saline. This is repeated on day 29 of each cycle). In summary, 2 weeks of drug in the pump are followed by 3 weeks without drug in the pump. The systemic chemotherapy (Oxaliplatin/CPT-11) will be administered on the same day that the pump is emptied and filled with heparin and saline, i.e. Day 15 and Day 29 of each cycle.
