About this study

Official title: FOLFOXIRI-based Hepatic Arterial Infusion Combined With Fuquintinib as Late-line Treatment in Patients With Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastase: A Phase 2 Single-Arm Clinical Trial

This study was a phase 2, single-arm, single-center clinical trial in which previously treated patients with unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy combined with fruquintinib in later treatment for colorectal cancer liver metastases. All patients received FOLFOXIRI-based HAIC chemotherapy and oral fruquintinib. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR), and the secondary endpoints were disease control rate (DCR), the liver-specific ORR, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), liver-specific PFS, duration of response(DoR)and safety.

  • FOLFOXIRI-based HAIC+FuquinitinibDrug

    All patients received oral fruquintinib at an initial dose of 4 mg once daily from day 1 to day 21 of each 28-day cycle, and FOLFOXIRI-HAIP chemotherapy with Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m² and Leucovorin 400 mg/m² infused via arterial pump over 2 hours on day 1, Irinotecan 150 mg/m² infused via arterial pump over 90 minutes on day 1,and 5-Fluorouracil 2400 mg/m² infused via arterial pump over 46 hours, repeated biweekly until disease progression, patient's refusal, unacceptable toxic effects, or withdrawal of consent.

What is being measured

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

  1. objective response rate

    ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with the best overall response of CR or PR among all participants.

    Measured: The best evaluation of clinical efficacy from the time of the first initiation of treatment until the patient's disease progression to change of treatment or death, assessed up to 100 months.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. overall progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from the initiation of treatment until disease progression or death.

    Measured: From date of the first treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months.

  2. Duration of Response(DoR)

    DoR was defined as time from first occurrence of complete or partial response until date of radiographical disease progression or death, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: From date of first occurrence of complete or partial response until date of radiographical disease progression or death, whichever occurred first. the assessed up to 100 months.

  3. Disease control rate(DCR)

    The proportion of patients with a best overall response of achieved complete response, partial response or stable disease.

    Measured: From date of the first treatment until the date of date of death from any cause or experiment stopped, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months.

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from study enrollment to death from any cause.

    Measured: From date of the first treatment until the date of date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months.

  5. Liver-specific PFS

    Liver-specific PFS was defined analogously to PFS, but considering only progression events occurring within the liver.

    Measured: From date of the first treatment until the date of first documented liver progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months.

Individual data sharing
No: First of all, there is a lack of sufficient funds or personnel to anonymize and maintain the data for a long time, such as the original imaging documents, which are difficult to organize compliance. Second, this study was an early exploratory study with small data size and high risk of identification. Finally, summary results are available after publication, and the data will be reassessed 5 years after the end of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing FOLFOXIRI-based HAIC+Fuquinitinib in people with Colorectal Neoplasms, run by Meng Qiu at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

objective response rate (time frame: The best evaluation of clinical efficacy from the time of the first initiation of treatment until the patient's disease progression to change of treatment or death, assessed up to 100 months.). 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 NCT07024537, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 30 Apr 2026.
