Chemotherapy through liver artery for colorectal cancer that spread to liver
Treatments studied
This trial tests giving chemotherapy directly into the liver artery for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to shrink the tumors and make the liver healthy enough for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Colorectal cancer that has spread only to your liver (small spots in the lung may also be okay if they can be removed).
- You must be healthy enough to possibly have part of your liver removed later.
- You must have had chemotherapy before for this cancer.
- Your liver tumors must take up less than 70% of your liver.
- You are at least 18 years old and feel fairly well (able to do daily activities).

This trial tests giving chemotherapy directly into the liver artery after surgery to remove liver tumors. It's for people with colorectal cancer that spread to the liver, who have a high chance of the cancer coming back.
This trial tests a treatment approach where you receive chemotherapy directly into your liver through a surgically placed pump, combined with standard systemic chemotherapy (given through a vein). The goal is to shrink liver tumors enough so they can be removed later with surgery. It is for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and has not been treated before.
This trial tests a strong chemotherapy combination given directly into the liver's blood supply (called HAIC) for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed with surgery yet. The goal is to shrink the liver tumors enough so they can be surgically removed.
This trial tests giving high-dose melphalan directly into the liver's blood supply, followed by standard cancer therapy, for people whose colorectal cancer has spread mainly to the liver. The goal is to see if this approach is safer and works better than standard treatment alone.
This trial tests whether treating liver tumors with surgery or ablation can help people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver and other organs. It may be an option if you've had only 1 or 2 types of chemotherapy and your non-liver metastases are stable.
This trial is testing a new way to give the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel directly into the liver (through a tiny tube) along with standard systemic treatment for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this targeted approach works better than standard treatment alone.
