Prospective phase II trial of combination hepatic artery infusion and systemic chemotherapy for unresectable colorectal liver metastases: Long term results and curative potential.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES:Combination hepatic artery infusion (HAI) and systemic (SYS) chemotherapy for unresectable CRLM results in high tumor-response rates. This study represents an update of long-term survival and conversion to resectability in patients with unresectable CRLM treated with HAI and SYS chemotherapy in a phase II study. METHOD:The primary endpoint was complete resection. Multivariate and landmark analysis assessed the effect of complete resection on progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS:From 2007 to 2012, 64 patients with median of 13 tumors were enrolled; 67% had prior chemotherapy. 33 patients (52%) were converted to resection. Median follow-up among survivors was 81 months. Median PFS and OS were 13 and 38 months, respectively, with 5-year-OS of 36%. Chemotherapy-naïve patients had 5-year-OS of 51%. Conversion to resection was the only independent factor prognostic of improved PFS and OS. Nine of 64 patients (14%) are NED (five since initial resection, three after resection of recurrent disease, one from chemotherapy alone) at median follow-up of 86 months from treatment initiation, and 72 months from last operative intervention. CONCLUSION:Combination HAI and SYS is an effective therapy for high-volume unresectable CRLM, resulting in a high rate of resection, long-term survival, and the potential for cure.

Project description:BackgroundDespite curative hepatectomy, most colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) patients relapse locally within 2 years. Genomic predictors for hepatic recurrence are poorly understood. This study was designed to identify genomic signatures for recurrence in resected CRLM patients treated with adjuvant hepatic artery infusion (HAI) and/or systemic (SYS) chemotherapy.MethodsPatients undergoing curative hepatectomy and adjuvant HAI+SYS or SYS between January 2000 and October 2017 with next-generation sequencing data were catalogued. Gene and signaling-level alterations were checked for association with time to any (AR), liver (LR), and extrahepatic recurrence (ER) by using Kaplan-Meier analysis.ResultsOf 172 receiving HAI+SYS, 100 patients recurred, with 69 LR and 83 ER. Five- and ten-year LR-free rates were 57% (95% confidence interval [CI] 48-65%) and 51% (95% CI 41-60%), respectively. Five- and 10-year ER-free, rates were 51% (95% CI 43-58%) and 45% (95% CI 36-54%), respectively. More ER was observed with tumors harboring altered KRAS (38% [95% CI 25-50%] vs. 63% [95% CI 53-71%], p-adj = 0.003) and RAS/RAF (36% [95% CI 25-48%] vs. 66% [95% CI 56-74%], p-adj < 0.001) than wild-type. Co-altered RAS/RAF-TP53 was associated with worse AR (26% [95% CI 14-40%] vs. 48% [95% CI 39-57%], p-unadj < 0.001), ER (30% [95% CI 17-45%] vs. 62% [95% CI 53-70%], p-unadj < 0.001), and LR rate (40% [95% CI 24-57%] vs. 70% [95% CI 60-77%], p-unadj = 0.002). On multivariable analysis, controlling for clinical risk score, ablation, margin status, and primary T-stage, co-altered RAS/RAF-TP53 was associated with increased risk for AR (HR = 2.14, 95% CI 1.38-3.31, p-unadj < 0.001), LR (HR = 1.79, 95% CI 1.06-3.02, p-unadj = 0.029), and ER (HR = 2.81, 95% CI 1.78-4.44, p-unadj < 0.001).ConclusionsAltered KRAS, RAS/RAF, and RAS/RAF-TP53 associated with earlier local and distant recurrence in resected CRLM patients receiving adjuvant HAI+SYS. Co-altered RAS/RAF-TP53 was a novel predictor of LR warranting investigation of whether genomic cooperativity is associated with this relapsing phenotype. Systemic therapies tailored to high-risk tumor biology are needed to reduce distant relapse after hepatectomy.

Project description:ObjectiveTo examine genomic correlates of conversion to resection (CTR and overall survival (OS) in patients with initially unresectable colorectal liver metastasis (IU-CRLM) treated with combination systemic and hepatic artery infusion (HAI) chemotherapy.BackgroundIn patients presenting with IU-CRLM, combination systemic and HAI chemotherapy enables CTR with associated long-term OS in a subset of patients. Genomic correlates of CTR and OS in IU-CRLM have not been previously explored.MethodsSpecimens from IU-CRLM patients receiving systemic/HAI chemotherapy (2003-2017) were submitted for next-generation sequencing. Fisher Exact test assessed associations with CTR, and Kaplan-Meier/Cox methods assessed associations with OS from HAI initiation.ResultsOf 128 IU-CRLM patients, 51 (40%) underwent CTR at median 6 months (range: 3-35) from HAI initiation. CTR and persistently unresectable cohorts differed significantly in preoperative systemic chemotherapy exposure, node-positive primary status, and size of largest liver metastasis. Median and 5-year OS was 66 months and 51%. CTR was associated with prolonged survival (time-dependent HR 0.23,95% CI: 0.12-0.46, P < 0.001). The most frequently altered genes were APC (81%), TP53 (77%), and KRAS (37%). Oncogenic mutations in SOX9 and BRAF were associated with CTR. BRAF mutations, any RAS pathway alterations, and co-altered RAS/RAF-TP53 mutations wereassociated with worse survival. Classification and regression tree analysis defined prognostically relevant clusters of genomic risk to reveal co-altered RAS/RAF-TP53 as the highest risk subgroup. Co-altered RAS/RAF-TP53 remained independently associated with worse survival (HR 2.52, 95% CI: 1.37-4.64, P = 0.003) after controlling for CTR, number of liver metastases, and preoperative extrahepatic disease.ConclusionsDistinct genomic profiles are associated with CTR and survival in patients with IU-CRLM treated with HAI/systemic chemotherapy. Presence of SOX9, BRAF , and co-altered RAS/RAF- TP53 mutations are promising biomarkers that, when validated in larger datasets, may impact treatment of IU-CRLM patients.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Approximately 40% of colorectal cancer patients will develop colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). The most effective approach to increase long-term survival is CRLM complete resection. Unfortunately, only 10-15% of CRLM are initially considered resectable. The objective response rates (ORR) after current first-line systemic chemotherapy (sys-CT) regimens range from 40 to 80% and complete resection rates (CRR) range from 25 to 50% in patients with initially unresectable CRLM. When CRLM patients are not amenable to complete resection after induction of sys-CT, ORRs obtained with second-line sys-CT are much lower (between 10 and 30%) and consequently CRRs are also low (< 10%). Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) oxaliplatin may represent a salvage therapy in patients with CRLM unresectable after one or more sys-CT regimens with ORRs and CRRs up to 60 and 30%, respectively. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of an intensification strategy based on HAI oxaliplatin combined with sys-CT as a salvage treatment in patients with CRLM unresectable after at least 2 months of first-line induction sys-CT. OBJECTIVES AND ENDPOINTS OF THE PHASE II STUDY:Our main objective is to investigate the efficacy, in term of CRR (R0-R1), of treatment intensification in patients with liver-only CRLM not amenable to curative-intent resection (and/or ablation) after at least 2 months of induction sys-CT. Patients will receive either HAI oxaliplatin plus systemic FOLFIRI plus targeted therapy (i.e. anti-EGFR antibody or bevacizumab) or conventional sys-CT plus targeted therapy (i.e. anti-EGFR or antiangiogenic antibody). Secondary objectives are to compare: progression-free survival, overall survival, objective response rate, depth of response, feasibility of delivering HAI oxaliplatin including HAI catheter-related complications, and toxicity (NCI-CTCAE v4.0). METHODS:This study is a multicenter, randomized, comparative phase II trial (power, 80%; two-sided alpha-risk, 5%). Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive HAI oxaliplatin combined with systemic FOLFIRI plus targeted therapy (experimental arm) or the best sys-CT plus targeted therapy on the basis of their first-line prior sys-CT history and current guidelines (control arm). One hundred forty patients are required to account for non-evaluable patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION:ClinicalTrials.gov, (NCT03164655). Trial registration date: 11th May 2017.
