Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Chemoembolization kills tumor cells by blocking the blood flow to the tumor and keeping chemotherapy drugs near the tumor. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemoembolization in treating patients who have primary liver cancer or metastases to the liver that cannot be surgically removed.


Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES: - Evaluate time to progression of disease in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma or neuroendocrine hepatic metastases undergoing chemoembolization. - Evaluate tumor response achievable with chemoembolization in this patient population. - Evaluate the toxicities of this treatment in these patients. - Evaluate survival of these patients following this treatment. - Evaluate extrahepatic patterns of failure following chemoembolization, to determine whether intrahepatic progression may be forestalled and survival affected in these patients. - Validate a consistent method of performing chemoembolization in a multicenter setting. OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to disease (hepatocellular carcinoma vs neuroendocrine hepatic metastases). Patients undergo placement of a visceral arterial catheter. Patients receive doxorubicin, mitomycin, and cisplatin as a chemoemulsion via the arterial catheter into 1 hepatic lobe only. Immediately following delivery of the chemoemulsion, particulate embolization is performed. The opposite lobe, if involved, is treated within 3-5 weeks of treatment of the initial lobe. In the absence of unacceptable toxicity, each involved lobe is treated separately a second time, in the same sequence, beginning 8 weeks after the last lobular chemoembolization. After completion of all protocol therapy, retreatment on study of either lobe is allowed for regrowth, recurrence, or new disease, provided at least 3 months have elapsed since the initial treatment of that lobe. Patients are followed for 5 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 19-42 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year. ;
