Description:
PURPOSE:
A primary aim of phase II FOCULM study is to explore whether cetuximab in combination with
FOLFOXIRI as first treatment could improve surgical conversion in patients with KRAS/NRAS
wild-type, unresectable liver - only metastases of colorectal cancer. The first secondary aim
is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the chemotherapy of FOLFOXIRI plus Cetuximab
targeted therapy regimen in this patient population.
Secondary aims include determination of objective response rate, progression free survival,
quality of life and time to recurrence for patients undergoing complete resection and/or
ablation of liver.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Signed informed consent obtained before any study specific procedures. Subjects must
be able to understand and willing to sign a written informed consent.
- Male or female subjects > 18 years < 65 of age
- Patients must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of
0 or 1 and must be considered a potential candidate for a major hepatic surgical
procedure.
- Histological or cytological documentation of adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum.
All other histological types are excluded.
- There must be documentation by PET/CT scan, CT scan, MRI, or intraoperative palpation
(at the time of resection of the primary colorectal tumor, if applicable) that the
patient has evidence of metastases confined to the Liver (Histologic confirmation of
hepatic metastasis is not required.). The liver metastases must have been determined
by a hepatic surgeon approved to participate in the study to be unresectable based on
at least one of the following criteria: All of the liver metastases can not be
resected (and/or ablated) with negative margins, i.e., lesion(s) located in an area
that would result in the resection of all of the hepatic veins or the main portal vein
or the right and left hepatic arteries or the common bile duct; Complete resection
and/or ablation would require greater than 60% of the liver parenchyma to be removed.
- Patients are eligible with any of the following: primary tumor and regional nodes
resected with clear surgical margins and no evidence of extra-hepatic disease or;
unresected primary tumor with plans to resect the primary tumor prior to study entry
or; unresected primary tumor with plans to resect the primary tumor and the liver
metastases in a single surgical procedure performed within 8 weeks after the last
preoperative dose of chemotherapy/cetuximab or; unresected primary with plans to
resect the primary tumor and the liver metastases in staged procedures performed
within 8 weeks after the last preoperative dose of chemotherapy/cetuximab.
- The colorectal primary tumor or metastatic tumor must be determined to be KRAS and
NRAS wild-type.
- At least one measurable lesion in liver metastases according to according to Response
Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria measured within 4 weeks prior to
registration.
- No previous any systemic anticancer therapy including cytotoxic therapy, signal
transduction inhibitors, immunotherapy and hormonal therapy for metastatic disease for
metastatic disease (adjuvant chemotherapy for non-metastatic disease is allowed if
terminated more than 6 months ago).
- Adequate bone marrow, hepatic and renal function as assessed by the following
laboratory requirements conducted within 7 days of starting study treatment:
- Leukocytes ≥ 3.0 x109/ L, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x109/ L, platelet
count ≥ 100 x109/ L, hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 9g/ dL.
- Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN).
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 5 x ULN.
- Alkaline phosphatase limit ≤ 5x ULN.
- Amylase and lipase ≤ 1.5 x the ULN.
- Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x the ULN.
- Calculated creatinine clearance or 24 hour creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/ min.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any evidence of extra-hepatic metastases, lymph node (including portal lymph nodes)
metastases and primary tumor recurrence.
- Previous hepatic resection and/or ablation, hepatic arterial infusion therapy,
radiation therapy to the liver (Patients who have only had an excisional biopsy are
eligible).
- Previous or concurrent cancer that is distinct in primary site or histology from
colorectal cancer within 5 years prior to randomization.
- Extended field radiotherapy within 4 weeks or limited field radiotherapy within 2
weeks prior to randomization. Subjects must have recovered from all therapy-related
toxicities.
- Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 4 weeks
before start of study medication.
