What this study is testing

Demonstrate an improvement of disease-free survival rate at 3 years

  • Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III)

A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Histologically proven resected metachronous CLM with curative intent that could not be treated with perioperative oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for oncologic or tolerability reasons. For this study, metachronous CLM is defined as liver recurrence occurring more than 12 months after treatment of the primary colorectal cancer
  • Patients must be 18 years old or older
  • A WHO performance status of 0 or 1
  • Participants must be affiliated to a social security scheme
  • No more than 10 treated CLM at surgery
  • At least 2 cycles and no more than 8 cycles of preoperative FOLFIRI based chemotherapy ± targeted therapy

You likely can't join if

  • Palliative/R2 resection of CLM
  • 10 lesions or more treated at the time of surgery
  • Patients undergoing only radiofrequency ablation of all liver deposit (this situation precludes the assessment of pathologic response to preoperative chemotherapy)
  • Extra-hepatic or residual metastasis of CRC
  • Absence of objective response to therapy (radiological or pathological response )
  • Inflammatory bowel disease

  • Objective response to preoperative therapy defined as complete or partial radiological response and/or major or complete pathologic response
  • No extrahepatic or residual liver disease on baseline work-up including thoraco-abdominal CT scan within 6 weeks after surgery. 1 non-specific lung nodule of less than 10 mm in maximum diameter is not considered as extra-hepatic metastases
  • Primary tumor (or liver metastasis) of CRC must be characterized for RAS and BRAF status
  • No contraindication to FOLFIRI based chemotherapy

  • 10 lesions or more treated at the time of surgery
  • Patients undergoing only radiofrequency ablation of all liver deposit (this situation precludes the assessment of pathologic response to preoperative chemotherapy)
  • Extra-hepatic or residual metastasis of CRC
