Summary

This phase II study aims to evaluate regional chemotherapy in patients with unresectable primary hepatic malignancy. Specifically, eligible patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and peripheral cholangiocarcinoma, considered unresectable after review by the Hepatobiliary Surgery service, will undergo hepatic artery pump placement and continuous infusion of FUDR. The protocol includes radiological and biological correlative studies.

Interventions

DRUG

FLOXURIDINE

\[0.16\* mg/kg/day X 30 ml\] / pump flow rate \* If the patient is \>25% above ideal body weight, the dose of FUDR will be calculated from an average of the patients actual and ideal body weights. For example, for a patient who is 5ft. 10 inches and weighs 100kg: Ideal Body Weight (kg) = 50 + (2.3 X height in inches over 5 feet) = 50 + (2.3 X 10) = 73 Weight Used for dose calculation = (100 + 73)/2 = 86.5 Therefore, FUDR Dose will be = (0.16 X 86.5 X 30)/Flow Rate If no dose modification due to toxicity is required, the dosages given above (adjusted for changes in weight and pump flow rate) will be repeated on Day 1 of Week 1 of Cycle 2 and all subsequent cycles.
