FOLFOX Via Hepatic Artery Infusion Chemotherapy (HAI) Plus Systemic Irinotecan With or Without Bevacizumab Versus Systemic FOLFOXIRI With or Without Bevacizumab in Patients With Initially Unresectable RAS-mutated Colorectal Cancer With Liver Metastases: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Study
This prospective, randomized, controlled clinical study aims to evaluate the objective remission rate of FOLFOX hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAI) in combination with systemic irinotecan with or without bevacizumab versus systemic intravenous FOLFOXIRI with or without bevacizumab in initially unresectable RAS-mutated colorectal cancer patients with liver metastases.
• Histologically confirmed colorectal adenocarcinoma
• Imaging or pathological confirmation of liver metastases
• The multidisciplinary team determined that the liver metastases were unresectable, defined as (i) ≥5 metastases; (ii) inability to perform R0 resection; (iii) insufficient volume of liver expected to remain after resection; (iv) failure to preserve all 3 hepatic veins after resection, failure to ensure that blood flow to and from the liver and bile ducts can be preserved, and failure to preserve 2 adjacent liver segments. If any of the above criteria are met, it can be considered as initially unresectable liver metastases.
• Patients with mutated RAS and BrafV600E
• No previous treatment for liver metastases, including chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and targeted therapy
• No extrahepatic metastases confirmed by CT, MRI, or PET/CT (if necessary) (consider enrollment if there is a lung or lymph node lesion less than 10 mm and metastases are difficult to identify)
• Normal hematological function (platelets \>90×109/L; white blood cells \>3×109/L; neutrophils \>1.5×109/L)
• Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal value (ULN), transaminases ≤ 5 times ULN
• No ascites, normal coagulation function, albumin ≥35g/L
⁃ Liver function Child-Push grade A
⁃ Serum creatinine less than upper limit of normal (ULN) or calculated creatinine clearance \>50 ml/min (using Cockcroft-Gault formula)
⁃ ECOG score 0-1
⁃ Life expectancy \> 3 months
⁃ Signed written informed consent
