Brief summary

Treatment of patients with colorectal cancer having liver metastases is currently based on systemic chemotherapy. Triple therapy with 5FU, oxaliplatin and irinotecan intravenously was effective in terms of response and secondary resectability, however it is particularly toxic. Hepatic intra-arterial chemotherapy (HIA) has been the subject of several studies. It has shown good efficacy with oxaliplatin and FUDR. However, the procedure is difficult to set up and reserved for experienced centers. The objective of this protocol is to use a triple therapy based on 5FU and oxaliplatin associated to irinotecan which is administered by hepatic intra-arterial route, loaded onto microbeads (DEBIRI). Furthermore, the procedure for chemo-embolization DEBIRI is limited to 2 sessions, and therefore could be more easily generalized.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-free Survival Rate at 9 Monthsat 9 months after inclusionThe primary endpoint was to evaluate the rate of patients alive without progression at 9 months after the start of treatment. Events to be considered for the endpoint were: * Progression : defined as radiological progression according to RECIST V1.1 criteria, as assessed by the investigator. * Death Patients who progressed or died (from any cause) within 9 months of starting treatment were considered as failure for the primary endpoint. The first event which occured will be taken into accoun

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Survivalup to 4 years after patient's inclusionIt was defined as the time interval between the date of inclusion and the date of death (whatever the cause). Patients lost to follow-up or alive at the time of analysis were censored at the date of last news.

Outcome results

Primary

Progression-free Survival Rate at 9 Months

The primary endpoint was to evaluate the rate of patients alive without progression at 9 months after the start of treatment. Events to be considered for the endpoint were: * Progression : defined as radiological progression according to RECIST V1.1 criteria, as assessed by the investigator. * Death Patients who progressed or died (from any cause) within 9 months of starting treatment were considered as failure for the primary endpoint. The first event which occured will be taken into accoun

Time frame: at 9 months after inclusion

Population: Primary endpoint was on mITT population meaning all the patients included in the study with at least one radiological assessments within the 9 months following the inclusion
