a phase ii prospective trial of mxeloxiri reintroduction for mcrc

Conditions: Unresectable Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma

Summary: the objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of reintroduction of modified xeloxiri combined with molecular targeted drug in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mcrc)

it is an investigator-initiated, single institution, prospective, single-arm clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of reintroduction of modified xeloxiri combined with bevacizumab as first-line therapy in patients with unresectable mcrc. eligible patients will receive 12 cycles of mxeloxiri with bevacizumab and then mdt will be initiated to determine whether to perform a surgery or receive the maintenance therapy until disease progression (pd). at the time of pd, patients will re-introduce xeloxiri plus bev at the same doses and schedule previously tolerated, for a maximum of 12 cycles.

Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: 1. personal written informed consent is obtained after the study has been fully explained 2. histologically confirmed colon or rectal adenocarcinoma \*excluding appendix cancer and anal canal cancer 3. clinically unresectable 4. borderline resectable liver metastases of colorectal cancer considered to have poor-risk disease not deemed to be suitable for upfront resection if they had one or more of the following features assessed by a local multidisciplinary team: more than four metastases, location and distribution of metastatic disease within the liver unsuitable for resection with clear margins (e.g. involvement of both lobes of liver, invasion of intrahepatic vascular structures), extent of liver involvement precluding resection with adequate post-resection residual liver parenchyma volume for viable liver function in the immediate postoperative period, and inability to retain adequate vascular inflow and outflow to maintain viable liver function. 5. age at enrollment is \>= 18 and \<= 75 years 6. life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. 7. eastern cooperative oncology group (ecog) performance status (ps) score of 0 or 1 8. .vital organ functions meet the following criteria within 14 days before enrollment. if multiple test results are available in that period, the results closest to enrollment will be used. no blood transfusions or hematopoietic factor administration will be permitted within 2 weeks before the date on which measurements are taken. i. absolute neutrophil count (anc): ≥3,000 /cu.mm ii. platelet count: ≥10.0 × 104/cu.mm iii. hemoglobin concentration: ≥8.0 g/dl iv. prothrombin time (pt), activated partial thromboplastin time(aptt): ≤1.5 times upper limit of normal (uln) v. total bilirubin: ≤1.5 times uln (≤3 times uln for metastases to liver).aspartate aminotransferase (ast), alanine aminotransferase (alt): ≤2.5 times uln (≤5 times uln for metastases to liver).vi. serum creatinine: ≤1.5 times uln, or creatinine clearance: ≥30 ml/min exclusion criteria: 1. clinically resectable. major surgical procedure within 28 days prior to study treatment initiation (such as open chest, laparoscopy, thoracoscopic surgery, laparoscopic surgery), unless only colostomy is performed; open biopsy or suturing for major trauma within 14 days of study treatment initiation; or planned major surgical procedure during the study (open chest, laparoscopy) ("major surgical procedures" does not include central venous (cv) port insertion) 2. previous adjuvant oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy 3. 5-fu-containing chemotherapy within 12 months. 4. .have received any experimental therapy (such as take part in another clinical study) within 4 weeks before treatment; 5. receiving immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy (except palliative radiotherapy), or hormonotherapy, which are not included in study protocol; 6. untreated brain metastases, spinal cord compression, or primary brain tumor; 7. pregnant, breastfeeding, positive pregnancy test (women who have menstruated in the last year will be tested), or women who are unwilling to use contraception; men who are unwilling to use contraception during the study 8. any of the following comorbidities i. uncontrolled hypertension ii. uncontrolled diabetes mellitus iii. uncontrolled diarrhea iv. peripheral sensory neuropathy (≥grade 1) v. active peptic ulcer vi. unhealed wound (except for suturing associated with implanted port placement) vii. other clinically significant disease (such as interstitial pneumonia or renal impairment) 9. subjects with known allergy to the study drugs or to any of its excipients. 10. any indication of contraindications to chemotherapy; 11. other active malignancies (synchronous malignancies, and asynchronous malignancies separated by a 5-year disease-free interval) (excluding malignancies that are expected to be completely cured, such as intramucosal carcinoma and carcinoma in situ)
