About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to help learn about the safety and feasibility of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy for those who have colorectal liver metastases, both resectable and unresectable, or unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* safety and feasibility of installing a pump that deliveries chemotherapy to the hepatic artery (the blood vessel that supplies blood to the liver) * help learn more about the safety of patients having pump refills at home or a local clinic versus having it routinely done at the hospital
Participants will have surgery to install a pump which is a standard surgical procedure. After surgery, participants will select to either receive treatment at the hospital facility or with a community oncologist that will provide cancer care to participants close to home, rather than in a large hospital or academic medical center.
The main treatment on study will last about 3-4 months.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Colorectal adenocarcinoma metastatic to the liver which is either Unresectable (group A) or Resectable (group B; ie, will be completely resected), AND with no definitive clinical or radiographic evidence of extrahepatic disease other than: metastatic disease to resectable peri-hepatic lymph nodes; up to 5 proven or suspected lung metastases, provided they are stable or responding in number and size for a minimum of 2-months of systemic chemotherapy and are amenable to SBRT or resection. or
Histologically confirmed unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (group C), with presence of less than 70% liver involvement with no definitive clinical or radiographic evidence of extrahepatic metastatic disease other than resectable perihepatic lymph nodes.
Patients > or equal 18 years of age
ECOG Performance Status of 0 - 1 (APPENDIX C)
Disqualifiers
Presence of distant non-liver metastatic disease confirmed by radiographic evaluation. Clinical or radiographic evidence of metastatic disease to regional peri-hepatic lymph nodes will be allowed, provided it is amenable to resection. For the colorectal carcinoma only: Up to 5 lung metastases are allowable, provided they are stable (or responding) in number and size for minimum of 2-mos of systemic chemo and are amenable to SBRT.
Microsatellite instability (MSI) or Mismatch repair deficiency (MMR-D)
Prior radiation to the liver, including external beam, SBRT, Y90. Prior radiation therapy to the pelvis is acceptable
Bevacizumab (Avastin®) cannot be given concurrently with HAI FUDR. Patients can previously have received it with a minimum 6-week washout period
