Summary

This is a study of Axitinib versus placebo as monotherapy for people with colorectal cancer who have liver metastases and who have relapsed within 6 months of their last chemotherapy regime. The research will also look at the potential of CEHPI (Contrast Enhanced Hepatic Perfusion Index) reduction, a technique developed for this research to measure the changes in how the blood vessels pump blood into the different liver metastases (tumours) and therefore to assess and predict response to treatment.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Axitinib

* All patients randomised to this arm will receive 3mg BD, and increased at 2 weeks to 5mg BD * Outpatient monitoring at 2 week intervals for a minimum of 8 weeks, with 2 weekly liver contrast ultrasound for assessment of differential blood supply (CEHPI) * At 8 weeks, after tumour CT RECIST assessments, responders will continue monotherapy. In non-responders, those with disease progression, monotherapy can be continued if patient chooses to continue and if tolerated

DRUG

Placebo

* All patients receiving placebo will receive tablets to take BD * Outpatient monitoring at 2 week intervals for a minimum of 8 weeks, with 2 weekly liver contrast ultrasound for assessment of differential blood supply (CEHPI)
