About this study
Official title: Open, Randomized, Multicenter Phase II Trial With Cetuximab /5-FU/FA/Irinotecan or Cetuximab/5-FU/FA /Irinotecan/Oxaliplatin in K-ras/B-raf Wild Type Patients or With Irinotecan/Oxaliplatin/5-FU/FA With or Without Bevacizumab in K-ras Mutant Patients as Neoadjuvant Treatment in Patients With Non- Resectable Colorectal Liver Metastases.
The aim of this study is to investigate the following schedules for efficacy with regard to response rate in neoadjuvant treatment of patients with non-resectable liver metastases:
- Cetuximab/FOLFOXIRI and cetuximab/FOLFIRI in patients with ras wild type tumours and
- Bevacizumab/FOLFOXIRI and FOLFOXIRI in patients with ras mutant tumours.
Read the detailed description
Patients with liver metastases from colorectal and without known extrahepatic metastases will be screened for this study including ras status (b-raf status according to local standard).
Patients receive chemotherapy according to the allocation and are re-evaluated for resectability every 8 weeks for a maximum of 6 months. Resectable patients will be resected and receive an adjuvant treatment to complete 12 cycles.
In certain circumstances, a second resection is allowed within the study.
Patients will be randomized using a web-based computer system that allows randomization if the key basic characteristics are entered.
Patients with ras wild-type tumours will be randomized to receive:
- Cetuximab/FOLFIRI or
- Cetuximab/FOLFOXIRI
Patients with ras mutations will be randomized to receive:
- FOLFOXIRI or
- FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab
Chemotherapy doses are adjusted to the risk of toxicity in all treatment arms.
Stratification will be performed according to:
- Number of metastases (< 5 vs. ≥ 5 metastases)
- Primary tumour in situ
- Centre
Treatment regimens For dose reductions and conditions to continue please refer to the full protocol.
All drugs are used within the label and approved doses.
B-raf mutations are determined according to local standard. If a b-raf mutation is known before randomization, the investigator can consider the patient as ras wildtype OR as ras mutant patient.
Cetuximab/FOLFIRI :
Cetuximab 400 mg/m² (first dose, 2 h), then 250 mg/m² (1 h) weekly Irinotecan 180 mg/m², d-l Folinic acid 400 mg/m² (2 h), 5-FU 400 mg/m² (Bolus), 5-FU 2400 mg/m² (46 h) every 2 weeks
Cetuximab/FOLFOXIRI:
Cetuximab 400 mg/m² (first dose, 2 h), then 250 mg/m² (1 h) weekly Irinotecan 125 mg/m² , Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m² (2 h), d-l Folinic acid 400 mg/m² (2 h), 5-FU 3200 mg/m² (46 h) every 2 weeks
FOLFOXIRI:
Irinotecan 165 mg/m², Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m² (2 h), d-l Folinic acid 400 mg/m² (2 h), 5-FU 3200 mg/m² (46 h) every 2 weeks
Bevacizumab/FOLFOXIRI:
Bevacizumab 5 mg/kg (90 - 30 min i.v.), Irinotecan 165 mg/m², Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m² (2 h), d-l Folinic acid 400 mg/m² (2 h), 5-FU 3200 mg/m² (46 h) every 2 weeks
Evaluation for response and resections Patients are evaluated for response by the same imaging technique as at baseline every 8 weeks. The findings will be discussed for resectability within two weeks after tumour assessment in a local multidisciplinary team.
Technically resectable patients should be offered liver resection. The treatment will continue until liver resection or for a maximum of six months (12 cycles).
Adjuvant treatment After liver resection, an adjuvant treatment is recommended with the same schedule as preoperatively, for a maximum combined pre- and postoperative treatment of 12 cycles. If less than three postoperative cycles remain, no postoperative treatment will be started (see chapter 9.10).
Follow up After resection, patients will be followed up for 5 years after randomization. This includes
- imaging and clinical investigation every three months for the first 2 years, then every six months (patients without tumour progression / recurrence)
- survival status and surgical/medical treatment every three months for the first 2 years and then every six months (all patients)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Cetuximab, Bevacizumab and Irinotecan in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Technische Universität Dresden at 15 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 0 inclusion and 24 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 11 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 15 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?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Response rate (time frame: up to 1 year after randomization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 11 Sep 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
