Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patient is at least 18 years old
  • Histologically proven mCRC
  • At least 1 measurable liver metastasis > 1 cm (mRECIST) Liver predominant disease ( ≥ 80% of metastatic disease confined to the liver)
  • No portal vein involvement
  • Performance status 0 or 1
  • Life Expectancy ≥ 3m
  • Adequate Hematologic function (ANC≥1.5 10^9/l; PLT≥75 10^9/l; INR (international normalized ratio) ≤1.3)
  • Adequate liver and renal function (Total bilirubin ≤2.0 mg/dl; ALBUMINE 2.5g/dl; Serum creatinine ≤2.0 mg/dl; ALT (alanine transaminase),AST (aspartate transaminase) ≤5 times ULN)
  • Less than 50% liver tumor replacement
  • Patient has provided written informed consent
  • Patient is affiliated to social security or equivalent system (France only)

Exclusion criteria

  • Eligible for curative treatment (resection/RFA) History of hepaticocholangiojejunostomy or obstructive biliary disease (with/without previous treatment)
  • Previous liver embolization
  • Contraindication for intra-arterial embolization and local irinotecan administration
  • Allergy to contrast media
  • Patient is co-treated with potent CYP3A4/UGT1A1 (cytochrome P450 3A4/uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1) inducers, i.e. rifampin, rifabutin, phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine and St John's Wort
  • Patient is currently participating in a clinical trial with an investigational drug or a device study that has not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with the current study endpoints
  • In the Investigator's opinion patient has (a) co-morbid condition(s) that could limit the patient's ability to participate in the study, compliance with follow-up requirements or impact the scientific integrity of the study
  • Patient is under judicial protection (France only)

Treatment and study plan

TACE with irinotecan loaded LifePearl

Device

Arterial embolization will be performed through lobar infusion and using a microcatheter. LifePearl microspheres of 200 µm will be used as preferred beads. They will be loaded with the appropriate dose of irinotecan hydrochloride injectable solution, mixed with the contrast media and distributed to the targeted lobe. The targeted dose is 100 mg of irinotecan per lobe treated, meaning that when treated unilobarly at baseline the total dose received will be 100 mg ( all in one lobe) and in during bilobar treatment, 200 mg in both lobes.

Other names: TACE

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Time frame: 2 days

    Maximum observed plasma concentrations of Irinotecan and its active metabolite SN38

  2. Time to reach Cmax (Tmax)

    Time frame: 2 days

    Tmax will be estimated directly from concentration-time data

  3. Area Under the Curve (AUC)

    Time frame: 1 day

    The trapezoidal rule will be used to calculate the area under the curve over 24 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Adverse Events (AE) (grade ≥3) and Serious AEs related with study treatment up to 30 days post initial treatment

    Time frame: 1 month

  2. Overall Survival

    Time frame: 12 months

  3. Progression-Free Survival

    Time frame: 12 months

  4. Response rate

    Time frame: 3 months

    Response rate (mRECIST criteria) 3 months after the first treatment

  5. Technical success - treatment delivery

    Time frame: 1 day

    Ability to deliver ≥75% of the planned dose during the first chemoembolization

  6. Technical success - total dose delivered

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Sum of all doses delivered during the course of the study
