Brief summary

This study was designed to analyze the prognosis and recurrence predictive factors of high risk patients (Clinical Risk Score≥3) of resectable colorectal liver metastasis. The efficacy of perioperative chemotherapy plus cetuximab and chemotherapy alone was compared for these patients.

Detailed description

Resection could prolong the survival of colorectal liver metastasis patients, however,the curative resection rate was still low and more than 2/3 of the patients would experience tumor recurrence.This study was designed to formulate a more accurate and individual evaluation system via the multivariate analysis. Up to now, there was no data to demonstrate the addition of cetuximab to perioperative chemotherapy could decrease recurrence and prolong survival for RAS wild-type, high risk(Clinical Risk Score≥3) resectable colorectal liver metastasis patients. This study was also designed to elucidate this question and to observe the objective response rate(ORR) and the safety data of the regime.

Interventions

DRUGCetuximab plus FOLFIRI/FOLFOX

cetuximab was added into the routine perioperative chemotherapy(FOLFIRI/FOLFOX) to evaluate its safety and efficacy

DRUGFOLFIRI/FOLFOX/CapeOX

to evaluate its safety and efficacy of routine perioperative chemotherapy(FOLFIRI/FOLFOX/CapeOX)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
disease free survivalFrom date of hepatectomy until the date of first documented recurrence or metastasis or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 monthsmonths the patient lived from the date of liver resection to the date of disease recurrence or metastasis

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
overall survivalFrom date of hepatectomy until the date of first documented death from any cause or the last follow-up if no death happened, assessed up to 60 monthsmonths the patient lived from the date of liver resection to the date of patient death
objective response ratefrom the date of the first chemotherapy until the date two weeks after the completion of the last preoperative chemotherapy, assessed up to 6 weekspercent of the number of patients who showed partial response(PR) or complete response(CR) who received preoperative chemotherapy to the number of all the patients enrolled.
