Conversion From Unresectable To Resectable Metastatic Colorectal Cancer. (NCT03401294)

Conversion From Unresectable To Resectable Liver Metastases In Patients With Liver-Only Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Treated With FOLFOXIRI Plus Bevacizumab. The Conversion Trial.

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: University of Saskatchewan

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Most patients with mCRC are treated with palliative chemotherapy and only a small number of patients with limited metastatic disease achieve long-term remission following metastasectomy. There is a growing need for more effective treatment in patients with liver-only mCRC to improve the rate of curative resection without compromising QOL.The current study is informed by our patient's needs. It aims to evaluate the rate of conversion therapy in patients with unresectable liver-only mCRC using the combination of FOLFOXIRI and bevacizumab and to assess the association between an early FDG-PT/CT response and other clinical and pathological biomarkers and hepatic metastasectomy.
