EU CTIS ID: 2025-523913-27-00

What this study is testing

The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy of postoperative HAI of oxaliplatin plus IV chemotherapy after curative-intent resection of CRLM in patients at high risk in terms of PFS.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Patient must have signed a written informed consent prior to any trial specific procedures. When the patient is physically unable to give their written consent, an impartial witness of their choice, independent from the investigator or the sponsor, can confirm in writing the patient’s consent
  • Adequate organ and marrow function as indicated by the following laboratory values: bilirubin < 1.5 x upper limit of normal values (ULN), aminotransferases < 5 ULN, alkaline phosphatase < 5 ULN, International normalized ratio (INR) < 1.5 ULN, platelets > 100,000/mm3, neutrophils>1500/mm3
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test done within 30 days before randomisation and 72 hours prior treatment initiation
  • Patients must agree to use adequate contraception methods for the duration of study treatment and : a. women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must use highly effective contraception at least: - 15 months after the end of the treatment with oxaliplatin, - 6 months after the end of the treatment with fluorouracile and iri notecan b. men must use contraception at least: - 12 months after the end of the treatment with oxaliplatin, 3 months after the end of the treatment with fluorouracile and irinotecan.
  • Patients must be willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests and other study procedures
  • Patients must be affiliated to a Social Security System (or equivalent)

You likely can't join if

  • Stage IV dMMR CRC
  • Pregnant women or women who are breast-feeding
  • Participation in another therapeutic trial within the 30 days prior to randomisation
  • QT/QTc interval longer than 450 msec for men and longer than 470 msec for women
  • Persistent toxicities related to prior treatment of grade > 1
  • Known history of hypersensitivity to trial treatments or any of their excipients or : o for 5-fluorouracil in case of: potentially serious infection, patients with poor nutritional status, recent or concomitant treatment with brivudine, live attenuated vaccines, clinically significant active heart disease or myocardial infarction within 6 months o for oxaliplatin in case of severely impaired renal function (creatinine clearance less than 30 ml/min) o for irinotecan in case of: chronic inflammatory bowel disease and/or bowel obstruction, concomitant use with St John's Wort, live attenuated vaccines
