Filter by:This is a phase II trial evaluating intra-hepatic chemotherapy with oxaliplatin every second week in combination with systemic capecitabine and in patients with a HER2-positive tumour in combination with trastuzumab (Herceptin®) in patient with non-resectable liver metastases from breast cancer. Only patients without extrahepatic disease are included.
This is a phase II trial evaluating intra-hepatic chemotherapy with oxaliplatin every second week in combination with systemic capecitabine and in patients with a HER2-positive tumour in combination with trastuzumab (Herceptin®) in patient with non-resectable liver metastases from breast cancer. Only patients with limited extrahepatic disease are included.
The purpose of this study is to collect data on the safety and potential effectiveness of 2nd generation designer T cells delivered into the hepatic circulation in patients with liver metastases expressing the CEA tumor marker. Designer T cells are prepared by collecting white blood cells from the participant, and then modifying these cells in the laboratory so that they recognize the tumor antigen, CEA. These modified cells are then given back into the participant so that they can attack and kill tumor cells. The investigators hypothesize that regional delivery of the designer T cells directly into the hepatic artery will minimize systemic toxicity and optimize the changes for therapeutic effect.
This is a phase I dose escalation study. Dose escalation will be via the traditional "up and down" scheme. SBRT: Patients will receive one of the following radiation regimens: - 50 Gy in 5 fractions (10 Gy/fx) delivered over a 2-week period. - 60 Gy in 5 fractions (12 Gy/fx) delivered over a 2-week period. - 75 Gy in 5 fractions (15 Gy/fx) delivered over a 2-week period.
Standard treatment of metastatic colorectal cancers relies on fluoropyrimidines, irinotecan alone or in association with fluoropyrimidines, oxaliplatin in association with fluoropyrimidines, bevacizumab and anti EGFR antibodies. After failure of classical regimen the national reference frame on the basis of phase II study proposes an association of fluoropyrimidine and mitomycin. These treatments give response rates of 10-20% with progression free survivals from 2 to 3 months. Hepatic intra-arterial chemotherapy is logical in the case of isolated hepatic metastases nonaccessible to curative resection: 1) hepatic metastases are vascularized by hepatic arterial system in contrast to nontumoral hepatic parenchyma; 2) arterial perfusion of oxaliplatin leads to a strong extraction by the liver during the first passage, a high intra-tumoral concentration and a low systemic concentration. So oxaliplatin is a drug of choice for arterial treatment but combination with fluoropyrimidines is impossible because of need for prolonged perfusion. Floxuridin is not available in France. Raltitrexed, a definitive inhibitor of the thymidylate synthase, does not require a prolonged perfusion and could be a good substitute.In a previous pilot study we demonstrated the feasibility, safety and efficacy of combination of raltitrexed and oxaliplatin arterial perfusion. Now we propose a phase II randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of hepatic arterial infusion of raltitrexed and oxaliplatin association versus standard chemotherapy for patients with metastases of colorectal origin restricted to the liver after failure of conventional chemotherapy.
This study will evaluate the local control rate as well as acute and late toxicity rates of stereotactic body radiotherapy for the treatment of liver metastases and unresectable primary liver tumors such as hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
The aim of the study is to assess the value of contrast enhanced ultrasound in the evaluation of de novo focal liver lesions in clinical practice, in a prospective multi-center design.
The aim of this study is to explore whether cetuximab in combination with mFOLFOX6 as treatment could improve the resection rate in patients with KRAS wild-type, unresectable liver metastases of mCRC.
This phase II trial studies how well giving combination chemotherapy and bevacizumab before surgery and radiolabeled monoclonal antibody therapy works in treating liver metastases in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX), work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium Y 90 DOTA anti-CEA monoclonal antibody M5A, can find tumor cells and carry tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Giving chemotherapy and monoclonal antibody before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving radiolabeled monoclonal antibody therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or stopping them from dividing. Chemoembolization kills tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor and keeping chemotherapy drugs near the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well chemoembolization using irinotecan works in treating patients with liver metastases from metastatic colon or rectal cancer.
