Colorectal Neoplasms, Liver Neoplasms
Conditions
Brief summary
To see if Disease Free Survival (DFS) is improved when complete surgical resection of liver metastases (R0) is followed by chemotherapy with CPT-11 and 5-FU/FA as FOLFIRI regimen, compared to 5-FU/FA alone.
Interventions
irinotecan 180 mg/m2 folinic acid 400 mg/m2 (DL) followed by 5 FU bolus 400 mg/m2 5 FU continuous infusion (2400 mg/m2 over 46 hours) every 2 weeks
folinic acid 400 mg/m2(DL) followed by bolus 5 FU 400mg/m2 5 FU continuous infusion (2400 mg/m2 over 46 hours) every 2 weeks

Participant flow
Recruitment details
study was conducted at 66 centers.
Pre-assignment details
Eligible subjects (subjects who underwent complete liver metastasis resection within 8 weeks of study drug administration) were randomly assigned. Of the 321 subjects randomized in the study, all but 15 were treated.

Outcome results
Disease Free Survival (DFS)
time interval between the date of randomization and the earliest date of local, regional or distant relapse, or death due to cancer.
Time frame: last tumor assessment date or cut-off date, whichever is earlier.
Population: Full analysis set = all treated subjects according to randomization: n=153, 153 for 5-FU/FA \& Irinotecan + 5-FU/FA, respectively. Safety analysis set (for Adverse Events) = all treated subjects according to treatment actually received (1 subject randomized to 5-FU/FA actually received treatment from Irinotecan + 5-FU/FA). n=152, 154 as above).
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEDIAN) |
|---|---|---|
| 5-FU/FA | Disease Free Survival (DFS) | 21.6 months |
| Irinotecan + 5-FU/FA | Disease Free Survival (DFS) | 24.7 months |
Overall Survival Rates
Probability of being alive was calculated in a yearly increment.
Time frame: Median follow-up time (42 months)
Population: Full analysis set = all treated subjects according to randomization: n=153, 153 for 5-FU/FA \& Irinotecan + 5-FU/FA, respectively. Safety analysis set (for Adverse Events) = all treated subjects according to treatment actually received (1 subject randomized to 5-FU/FA actually received treatment from Irinotecan + 5-FU/FA). n=152, 154 as above).
