About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if histotripsy plus chemotherapy works to treat unresectable, bilobar liver- confined colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM). The main question this clinical trial aims to answer is:

• Does the management of this condition with uninterrupted palliative chemotherapy and histotripsy demonstrate improved progression-free survival?

Participants will:

* Receive chemotherapy treatment per standard procedure. * Undergo histotripsy treatment according to current standard procedures at Cleveland Clinic. * Occasionally receive Computerized Tomography (CT) scan with and without contrast, give biopsy of treated and untreated liver lesions, and participate in a blood draw of up to 3 teaspoons at each in-person visit. * Participate in genetic testing, as a part of the standard of care for the treatment.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Participants with liver-confined colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) or participants who have low-volume pulmonary disease along with CRLM

Participants receiving first line therapy with base of 5-FU with either oxaliplatin or irinotecan, or who are within 3 months of beginning chemotherapy, or participants who have completed chemotherapy treatment within 1 month of the histotripsy evaluation

Participants who have undergone other liver-directed therapy, such as ablation, embolization

Participants with multiple unresectable metastases that cannot be completely treated with resection and/or ablation

Disqualifiers
