Conditions
Summary
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, and open-label clinical trial. It is initiated to determine the efficacy of FOLFOX-based, transarterial infusion chemotherapy (TAIC) combined with either cetuximab or bevacizumab for patients with unresectable colorectal cancer (CRC).
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria7
- Age ≥ 18 years;
- Colorectal cancer confirmed by CT/MRI and colonoscopic biopsy;
- Patients unfit for surgery due to poor general condition or tumor extent and location;
- Patients who have not received prior chemotherapy or those who have undergone prior chemotherapy but remain chemosensitive.
- Adequate haematological, heart, liver and renal functions are required, with the following specific criteria: white blood cell count≥4000/mL, neutrophils≥1500/mm³, platelets≥100×10⁹/L, haemoglobin≥10.0 g/L, total bilirubin 2.0 mg/dL, aspartate aminotransferase 100 IU/L, alanine aminotransferase 100 IU/L, serum creatinine 1.5 mg/dL or creatinine clearance rate≥60 mL/min/body, and urine protein/creatinine\<1.
- Patients have to have an expected life expectancy of ≥3months.
- All the subjects in this study are required to sign an informed consent form.
Exclusion Criteria7
- Patients with other primary malignant tumors;
- Patients with gastrointestinal perforation;
- Patients are allergic to the antitumor agents;
- Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant;
- Patients who receive other antitumor therapies concurrently, such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or radiotherapy;
- Patients with MSI-H/dMMR CRC;
- Patients for whom participation in the study is deemed to be inappropriate by the doctor in charge and/or the investigator for any other reasons.
Interventions
TAIC can increase the local intra-tumoral concentrations of chemotherapeutic agents by intensifying drug delivery into the tumor via super-selective catheterization of the tumor-feeding artery, and meanwhile reduce systematic toxicity.
Intravenous administration of chemotherapeutic agents is the mainstay of chemotherapy.
