About this study

Official title: Open One-Arm Therapy Optimizing Trial on Regional Chemotherapy of the Liver Through an Interventionally Implanted A.Hepatica Port System in Patients With Liver Metastases or Primary Liver Neoplasms.

Procedures to provide interventional implantation of a port catheter system into the hepatic artery and adjacent regional chemotherapy of the liver are optimized in the scope of an open, single-arm trial in patients with metastases and cancers confined to the liver. The primary objective is the improvement of indication, implantation procedure, and regional chemotherapy. Secondary objectives are port patency, comparison of complications with a historical collective of patients provided with a surgical hepatic arterial port device (colorectal cancer patients only), progression free and overall survival, efficacy of maintaining regional chemotherapy with 5-FU in combination with systemic treatment in patients with extrahepatic progression, quality of life.

Read the detailed description

Inclusion criteria:

  • histologically confirmed hepatic cancer without symptomatic extrahepatic manifestation.
  • non-resectable disease or hepatic resection or ablation in between the past 8 weeks.
  • measurable disease (at least before hepatic resection)
  • Karnofsky performance status => 70%, or ECOG status 0-2
  • >18 years of age
  • life expectancy > 6 months
  • compliance of the patient
  • written informed consent

Exclusion criteria:

  • second neoplasia within the past 3 years, except for non-melanotic skin cancer, adequately treated Ca in situ of cervix uteri, or adequately resected second colorectal cancer (in patients with liver metastases of colorectal cancer)
  • symptomatic extrahepatic disease, in particular disseminated bone metastases, brain metastases
  • liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension, active hepatitis B or C, previous percutaneous radiotherapy of the liver
  • active infection
  • history of gastric or duodenal ulcer
  • symptomatic or uncontrolled peripheral arterial occlusive disease, history of stenosis of the renal artery.
  • history of dilatative cardiomyopathy, vitium of mitral or aortic valve, persisting foramen ovale, atrial fibrillation
  • artificial heart valve or vascular
  • history of diabetic microangiopathy
  • uncontrolled hyperthyriodism
  • other severe concomitant disease (heart failure >NYHA 2°, respiratory failure, renal failure >stage2, liver failure (TPZ <50%).
  • inherited or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • contraindication against 5-FU
  • pregnancy and nursing, no contraception
  • limited contractual capability.

After enrollment, an a port catheter catheter system is interventionally implanted into the hepatic artery and the patient is scheduled for regional chemotherapy according one out of 8 pre-defined chemotherapy schedules. All regimens are based on 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin, and optionally contain intraarterial mitomycin, oxaliplatin, or additional intravenous irinotecan.

Patients are followed up and evaluated for primary and secondary endpoints. After the inclusion of 50 patients treated and follow up at our institution, the study population has been extended to 100 patients in 8/2004.

  • interventionally implanted hepatic arterial port catheterDevice

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of evaluation and intervention group

  2. Complication rate (device implantation)

  3. Safety of device and regional therapy

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. prospective evaluation of port duration

  2. comparison of complication and port duration with an historical collective of patients provided with a surgically implanted hepatic arterial port catheter system (liver metastases of colorectal cancer)

  3. response

  4. progression free and overall survival

  5. efficacy of maintaining regional therapy combined with systemic chemotherapy in patients with extrahepatic progression while on study

  6. quality of life

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing interventionally implanted hepatic arterial port catheter in people with Colorectal Cancer and Liver Neoplasms, run by Charite University, Berlin, Germany at 2 sites in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Bert Hildebrandt, MD (++49 30 450 553636, bert.hildebrandt@charite.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of evaluation and intervention group. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00356161, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jul 2006.
