Summary

Background:

Many people with colorectal cancer get liver metastases. Standard treatment for this is a combination of chemotherapy drugs. Directing the chemotherapy to the liver may be effective. A device that does this a pump that delivers drugs over 2 weeks at constant rate into the hepatic artery. The person s body temperature causes the drug to flow from the pump. Researchers want to see if this helps people with colorectal metastases to the liver.

Objective:

To study the effectiveness of a hepatic artery infusion pump at treating colorectal metastases to the liver.

Eligibility:

Adults at least 18 years old with colorectal metastases to the liver

Design:

Participants will be screened with:

Medical history

Physical exam

Heart, blood, and urine tests

Scans

Participants will stay in the hospital a few days. A small plastic tube (catheter) will be inserted in an artery into the liver. The catheter will be attached to the pump. That will lie under the skin on the abdomen. It will be small and participants will be able to feel it.

Participants will get treatment in 28-day cycles.

Every Day 1, they will have physical exam, symptom review, and blood tests.

Every 2 weeks, they will come to the clinic to get chemotherapy by a catheter or port.

Every 12 weeks, they will have a scan.

Tissue samples may be taken during the study.

When they finish the drug, participants may have the pump removed. They will repeat the Day 1 tests. They will be called every 6 months to see how they are doing.
