Brief summary
This study aims to assess the clinical benefit of local ablative therapy (LAT) following initial standard first-line systemic treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. Who is it for? You may be eligible for this trial if you are aged 18 years or over, have metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma, have between more than 3 lesions, and are receiving first-line systemic treatment. Study details Participants will receive metastasis-directed LAT such as surgery, radiotherapy, microwave or thermal ablation following 3-6 months of initial standard first-line systemic treatment, Those receiving LAT will return to systemic treatment 16 weeks after enrolment only if they did not complete 6 months of first-line treatment prior to enrolment. Information on progression-free survival and treatment outcomes will be collected. Data from this study will inform investigators of the potential benefit of local ablative therapy in the therapeutic setting for metastatic colorectal cancer.
Interventions
Local ablative therapy: a maximum of three LAT modalities can be administered for each participant, with a maximum of 2 modalities per organ, provided all LAT can be delivered within 12 weeks and participant can safely resume systemic treatment to a total of 6 months. LAT modalities allowed include surgical resection, stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT), laparoscopic or percutaneous thermal ablation [radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or microwave ablation (MWA)]. The LAT modalities will be delivered by specialists in the field (surgeons, radiation oncologists and/or interventional radiologists). The precise mode of delivery and number of times the LAT modality is delivered is case-dependent and is determined at a multi-disciplinary meeting (MDM). Standard of care first-line systemic treatment: first-line systemic treatment of 3-6 months prior to study enrolment. If after completing LAT, participant has not completed 6 months of first-line systemic treatment upfront, they may resume treatment to a total of 6 months of treatment. For patients receiving a doublet or triplet regimen, treatment may be de-escalated to maintenance fluoropyrimidine +/- biologics or anti-EGFR monotherapy at any point after trial entry at clinician discretion. The treating clinician may choose to discontinue systemic treatment following LAT for patients who have experienced prior intolerable toxicity. Local guidelines will be implemented to ensure intervention fidelity. Case report forms (CRF) specific to each LAT modality will capture specific mode of delivery, organ being treated and number of times the intervention is delivered over a period of time.

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion: -Metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma that is not amenable to potentially curative surgery. -Primary tumour must be controlled if the primary is intact, with no evidence of progression at primary site prior to study entry -Imaging demonstrating ongoing treatment benefit (partial response or stable disease as per RECIST criteria) after 3-6 months of standard first-line systemic treatment. -3 to 10 metastatic lesions detected on CT +/- FDG-PET scan prior to first line systemic treatment AND on screening FDG-PET and CT scans: o maximum of 3 lesions per organ except for the liver and lung o maximum of 5 lesions in the lung o no limit to number of liver lesions provided all are amenable to LAT o maximum of 3 involved organs including a maximum of 2 lymph node stations. -All lesions can be safely treated by LAT as determined by multidisciplinary team meeting.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion: -Concurrent or previous other malignancy within 2 years of study entry, except curatively treated basal or squamous cell skin cancer, prostate intraepithelial neoplasm, carcinoma in-situ of the cervix, Bowen’s disease or prostate cancer with a Gleason score =6. -Presence of brain, peritoneal, omental or ovarian metastases -Malignant pleural effusion or ascites.
