Abstract

Abstract Background; R0 resection for liver metastases of colorectal cancer is one of the promising treatment to improve prognosis of advanced colorectal cancer. Powerful regimen FOLFOXIRI including 3 cytotoxic drugs; 5FU, irinotecan and oxaliplatin was reported as promising treatment for advanced colorectal cancer (J Clin Oncol 2007; 25: 1670-76). In our department Phase I/II study of FOLFOXIRI+B-mab including fluoroiuracil/oxaliplatin/irinotecan/bevacizumab for advanced liver metastases of colorectal cancer as pre-operative chemotherapy has been conducted now, and Phase II was on going. In this study, we report effect and safety of FOLFOXIRI+B-mab. Methods: The study was designed as a single-arm, open-label phase I/II trial. Phase I was conducted to decide tolerated dose (MTD) of irinotecan and 150 mg/m2 was decided as recommended dose. Patients who are colorectal cancer with 4 or more liver metastases and no other distant metastases are included. The regimen includes bevacizumab; 5 mg/kg, irinotecan; 150 mg/m2, oxaliplatin; 85 mg/m2, l-LV; 200 mg/m2, 5FU; 400 mg/m2 administered on day 1, followed by 5FU; 2400 mg/m2 continuously administered for 46 hours. R0 resection rate of liver metastases as primary endpoint will be evaluated. Results: Currently, 16 patients were enrolled. Two patients dropped out because of grade 3 diarrhea and grade 3 thromboembolism. One patient is waiting for liver resection and R0 resection of liver metastases was performed for 9 patients. In the 14 patients excluding 2 drop out, 13 showed PR and average of reduction rate was 51%. There was no pathological CR in the 9 patients who was performed R0 resection. There was no severe postoperative complication in them. Conclusion: This regimen is safe and shows high PR rate. So, the regimen is effective and improve R0 resection rate for multiple liver metastases of colorectal cancer. Further investigation of this study is still ongoing now.
