Neoadjuvant FOLFOXIRI Chemotherapy in Resectable Liver Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer

Neoadjuvant FOLFOXIRI Chemotherapy in Resectable Liver Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer：an Open-label, Single-arm, Multicenter Phase II Study

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant FOLFOXIRI chemotherapy (irinotecan, oxaliplatin and fluorouracil) in the patients with resectable liver metastasis of colorectal cancer

For the patients Neoadjuvant FOLFOX chemotherapy is recommended for the resectable liver metastasis colorectal cancer. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy could suppress tumor, reduce metastasis, inhibit recurrence and improve long-term prognosis. Moreover, neoadjuvant chemotherapy could provide evidence about tumor response to drugs for the adjuvant chemotherapy. Furthermore, according to the biological behavior of tumors observed by neoadjuvant chemotherapy, unnecessarily excessive surgery could be avoided. However, some studies suggested that drug efficiency was consistent with resection rate. And FOLFOXIRI has been observed efficacy in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer with manageable toxicities. Therefore, we evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant FOLFOXIRI chemotherapy in the patients with resectable liver metastasis of colorectal cancer to achieve higher resection rate and longer survival.

In this prospective study, 30 patients with resectable colorectal liver metastases were treated with neoadjuvant FOLFOXIRI chemotherapy. After 4 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the liver metastases will be removed. If there are primary bowel lesions, they will be resected together. Safety profile was recorded based on NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (NCI-CTCAE v4.0). Objective response was evaluated by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). Before treatment and after 4 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, we will evaluate tumor metabolic response via FDG-PET and monitor the dynamic changes of peripheral blood ctDNA.

Inclusion Criteria

• Age: 18-75years old
• Histologically confirmed colorectal cancer with liver metastasis (all patients should have the pathological report of colorectal cancer). The chances of hepatocellular carcinoma or metastasis from other primary lesions should be excluded.
• It was confirmed by imaging that the liver metastases and the primary intestinal lesions were all resectable.
• Radical resection of colorectal cancer after adjuvant chemotherapy complete 1 years later with liver metastases.
• There is at least one measurable objective tumor of the tumor (according to the 1.1 version of RECIST standard).
• Liver metastases can be excised by R0 and sufficient normal liver tissue can be retained
• ECOG status: 0～1
• Adequate bone marrow, hepatic and renal function as assessed by the following laboratory requirements conducted within 7 days of starting study treatment:

Neutrophil count≥1.5×10^9/L Platelet count≥90×10^9/L Hemoglobin≥90g/L Total bilirubin (TBI) ≤ 1.5 * ULN Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)≤2.5 * ULN Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)≤2.5 * ULN Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)≤2.5 * ULN
