The endpoints are: toxicity according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) ver. 4.0 and response rate measured by percentage of vital tumor cells and mRECIST criteria.

Conditions

  • Liver Metastases

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Electrochemotherapy

Treatment procedure: anesthesia, positioning of electrodes, intravenous in bolus administration of bleomycin, within 8-30 min after administration of bleomycin application of electric pulses, removal of electrodes.

DEVICE

Cliniporator Vitae®

Positioning of electrodes, within 8-30 min after administration of bleomycin application of electric pulses (8 pulses, duration 100 microseconds, frequency 4 Hz with amplitude adequate to cover the whole treated lesion with electric field necessary for reversible plasma membrane permeabilization), removal of electrodes.

DRUG

Bleomycin PHC 15 e. (United States Pharmacopeia - USP)

Intravenous in bolus administration of bleomycin (15 mg/m2), 8 minutes before application of electric pulses
