Chemoembolization
chemoembolization with DC Bead™ loaded with Irinotecan
|
Device: DC Bead™
chemoembolization with DC Bead™ loaded with Irinotecan
Other Name: Irinotecan Drug: Cetuximab 400 mg/m² IV at day 1 followed by 250 mg/m² IV weekly
Other Name: Erbitux Drug: 5 FU every 2 weeks IV
Other Name: 5 fluoro uracyl Drug: Irinotecan every 4 weeks chemoembolization |
- Feasibility of chemoembolization with DC Bead loaded with Irinotecan [ Time Frame: after one cycle = after 8 weeks ]Feasibility of the study by measuring the number of enrolled patients who can finish the first cycle of treatment
- progression-free survival [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 18 months ]progression-free survival

Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Confirmed diagnosis of stage IV KRAS wild-type colorectal adenocarcinoma, with metastases predominantly in the liver (≥80% of tumor burden) that are deemed unresectable.
- Primary tumour has been treated with complete surgical resection without evidence of residual tumour
- Patients must have at least 1 measurable lesion (RECIST criteria)
- Performance status ECOG 0-1
- Aged ≥18 years
- Life expectancy > 3 months
- No prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease
- Hematologic function: WBC ≥ 3.0 x 10*9/L, platelets ≥ 100 x10*9/L
-
Adequate organ function as measured by:
- Serum creatinine £ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Serum transaminases (AST & ALT) £ 5 x ULN
- Bilirubin> 1.5 times the upper limit of the normal range
- Women of child bearing potential and fertile men are required to use effective contraception (negative βHCG for women of child-bearing age)
- Signed, written informed consent
- Patients with patent main portal vein
- Maximum liver involvement ≤60%
Exclusion Criteria:
- Presence of CNS metastases
- Contraindications to FU/LV, Irinotecan or Cetuximab
- Active bacterial, viral or fungal infection within 72 hours of study entry
- Women who are pregnant or breast feeding
- Allergy to contrast media or history of severe hypersensitivity to study drugs.
- Presence of another concurrent malignancy. Prior malignancy in the last 5 years except adequately treated basal or squamous cell skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix
-
Any contraindication for hepatic embolization procedures:
- porto-systemic shunt
- hepatofugal blood flow
- severe atheromatosis
- Contraindication to hepatic artery catheterization, such as a patient with severe peripheral vascular disease precluding catheterization
- Other significant medical or surgical condition, or any medication or treatment regimens, that would place the patient at undue risk, that would preclude the safe use of chemoembolization or would interfere with study participation
