Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion (PHP) with Melphalan in Liver-Dominant Metastatic Uveal Melanoma: The German Experience.

ABSTRACT: Percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) delivers high-dose melphalan to the liver while minimizing systemic toxicity via filtration of the venous hepatic blood. This two-center study aimed to examine the safety, response to therapy, and survival of patients with hepatic-dominant metastatic uveal melanoma (UM) treated with PHP. A total of 66 patients with liver-dominant metastasized uveal melanoma, treated with 145 PHP between April 2014 and May 2020, were retrospectively analyzed with regard to adverse events (AEs; CTCAE v5.0), response (overall response rate (ORR)), and disease control rate (DCR) according to RECIST1.1, as well as progression-free and overall survival (PFS and OS). With an ORR of 59% and a DCR of 93.4%, the response was encouraging. After initial PHP, median hepatic PFS was 12.4 (confidence interval (CI) 4-18.4) months and median OS was 18.4 (CI 7-24.6) months. Hematologic toxicity was the most frequent AE (grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia after 24.8% of the procedures); less frequent was grade 3 or 4 hepatic toxicity (increased aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) after 7.6% and 6.9% of the interventions, respectively). Cardiovascular events included four cases of ischemic stroke (2.8%) and one patient with central pulmonary embolism (0.7%). In conclusion, PHP is a safe and effective salvage treatment for liver-dominant metastatic uveal melanoma. Serious AEs-though rare-demand careful patient selection.

Meta-Analysis of Isolated Hepatic Perfusion and Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion as a Treatment for Uveal Melanoma Liver Metastases.

Project description:Uveal melanoma is the most commonly occurring primary intraocular malignancy in adults, and patients have a high risk of developing metastatic disease, mostly in the liver. Isolated hepatic perfusion (IHP) with melphalan is a liver-directed therapy for patients with liver metastases. Percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP), a minimally invasive technique, is available as well. PHP benefits from the fact that the procedure can be repeated and therefore possibly offers better survival. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing both techniques. A systematic literature search was performed using the electronic databases of Scopus, MEDLINE, Web of Science, PubMed and Cochrane CENTRAL. A total of nine articles reporting on eight studies were included in the analysis. Individual survival data were extracted from each study. The median overall survival (OS) was 17.1 months for IHP and 17.3 months for PHP. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 7.2 months for IHP and 9.6 months for PHP. The median hepatic progression-free survival was 10 months for IHP and 9.5 months for PHP. The complication rate and 30-day mortality rate were 39.1% and 5.5% for IHP and 23.8% and 1.8% for PHP. There was no difference in OS or PFS between IHP and PHP for patients with uveal melanoma liver metastases, but patients have significantly less of a risk for complications and mortality following PHP.

Percutaneous hepatic melphalan perfusion: Single center experience of procedural characteristics, hemodynamic response, complications, and postoperative recovery.

Project description:BackgroundPercutaneous hepatic melphalan perfusion (PHMP) for the selective treatment of hepatic metastases is known to be associated with procedural hypotension and coagulation disorders. Studies on anesthetic management, perioperative course, complications, and postoperative recovery in the intensive care unit (ICU) have not been published.MethodsIn a retrospective observational study, we analyzed consecutive patients who were admitted for PHMP over a 6-year period (2016-2021). Analyses included demographic, treatment, and outcome data with regard to short-term complications until ICU discharge.ResultsFifty-three PHMP procedures of 16 patients were analyzed. In all of the cases, procedure-related hypotension required the median (range) highest noradrenaline infusion rate of 0.5 (0.17-2.1) μg kg min-1 and fluid resuscitation volume of 5 (3-14) liters. Eighty-four PHMP-related complications were observed in 33 cases (62%), of which 9 cases (27%) involved grade III and IV complications. Complications included airway constriction (requiring difficult airway management), vascular catheterization issues (which resulted in the premature termination of PHMP, as well as to the postponement of PHMP and to the performance of endovascular bleeding control after PHMP), and renal failure that required hemodialysis. Discharge from the ICU was possible after one day in most cases (n = 45; 85%); however, in 12 cases (23%), prolonged mechanical ventilation was required. There were no procedure-related fatalities.ConclusionsPHMP is frequently associated with challenging cardiovascular conditions and complications that require profound anesthetic skills. For safety reasons, PHMP should only be performed in specialized centers that provide high-level hospital infrastructures and interdisciplinary expertise.

Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion with Melphalan in Patients with Unresectable Ocular Melanoma Metastases Confined to the Liver: A Prospective Phase II Study.

Project description:BackgroundOcular melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy and has a very poor prognosis once liver metastases occur. The aim of this study was to prospectively assess the efficacy and safety of percutaneous hepatic perfusion with melphalan (M-PHP) using the new second-generation (GEN 2) hemofiltration system in patients with ocular melanoma metastases confined to the liver.MethodsProspective, single-center, single-arm, phase II study including patients with unresectable ocular melanoma metastases confined to the liver. Treatment consisted of two M-PHP procedures at 6-8 weeks interval. Procedures were performed using the CHEMOSAT (GEN 2) system with 3 mg/kg melphalan. Primary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR) and best overall response (BOR). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), hepatic PFS (hPFS), and safety.ResultsSixty-four M-PHP procedures were performed in 35 patients between February 2014 and June 2017. The ORR was 72%. BOR was as follows: complete response in 3%, partial response in 69%, stable disease in 13%, and progressive disease in 16%. There was no treatment-related mortality. Fourteen serious adverse events occurred. At a median follow-up of 19.1 months (range 5.6-69.5), median OS was 19.1 months and was significantly longer in responders than in nonresponders (27.5 vs. 11.9 months, p < 0.001). The 1- and 2-year OS was 77% and 43%, respectively. PFS and hPFS were 7.6 and 11.2 months, respectively.ConclusionsM-PHP using the GEN 2 filter can achieve a high ORR and prolonged survival in patients with liver-only ocular melanoma metastases.

Isolated hepatic perfusion as a treatment for liver metastases of uveal melanoma.

Project description:Isolated hepatic perfusion (IHP) is a procedure where the liver is surgically isolated and perfused with a high concentration of the chemotherapeutic agent melphalan. Briefly, the procedure starts with the setup of a percutaneous veno-venous bypass from the femoral vein to the external jugular vein. Via a laparotomy, catheters are then inserted into the proper hepatic artery and the caval vein. The portal vein and the caval vein, both supra- and infrahepatically, are then clamped. The arterial and venous catheters are connected to a heart lung machine and the liver is perfused with melphalan (1 mg/kg body weight) for 60 min. This way it is possible to locally perfuse the liver with a high dose of a chemotherapeutic agent, without leakage to the systemic circulation. In previous studies including patients with isolated liver metastases of uveal melanoma, an overall response rate of 33-100% and a median survival between 9 and 13 months, have been reported. The aim of this protocol is to give a clear description of how to perform the procedure and to discuss IHP as a treatment option for liver metastases of uveal melanoma.

Repeated percutaneous hepatic perfusion with melphalan can maintain long-term response in patients with liver cancers

Project description:Chemosaturation (CS; CHEMOSAT®, Delcath Systems Inc.) temporarily administers melphalan into the liver by percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP). CS-PHP can effectively control growth in liver tumors, but efficacy and tolerability of sequential treatments are unclear. We analyzed outcomes of sequential CS-PHP treatment. Patients with either unresectable intrahepatic metastases of ocular melanoma (OM, n = 9), cholangiocarcinoma (CCA, n = 3), or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, n = 1) were recruited retrospectively. Response was assessed by tomography imaging. Ten patients (mean age 60 years) with more than one CS-PHP treatment were included. CS-PHP was administered 2–6 times in the OM patients, 3 times in the CCA, and the HCC patient received 6 treatments. Overall response rate (ORR) to CS-PHP was 80%, and stable disease was achieved in one patient. Median hepatic progression-free survival (hPFS) was 336 days (range 0–354) for OM, 251 days for the CCA patient, and 256 days for the HCC patient. At the end of observation (153–701 days after first CS-PHP), 6/10 patients were still alive (5/9 with OM, 0 with CCA, and 1 with HCC). Death cases were not related to CS-PHP. Adverse events were mostly hematologic, grade I-IV, and self-resolving. The liver function was not deteriorated by CS-PHP. We conclude that repeated CS-PHP treatments were effective and well tolerated in the long term.

Unresectable Hepatic Metastasis of Uveal Melanoma: Hepatic Chemosaturation with High-Dose Melphalan-Long-Term Overall Survival Negatively Correlates with Tumor Burden.

Project description:Introduction:Percutaneous hepatic perfusion with melphalan (PHP-M) for hepatic metastasis of uveal melanoma (LMUM) achieves high local response rates, but the individual clinical benefit is poorly defined. We aimed to determine cofactors of response and clinical outcomes including the probability of long-term (5-years) overall survival (OS) in PHP-M-treated patients with LMUM. Patients and Methods. We retrospectively reviewed clinicopathological, radiological, and outcome data of 19 patients with unresectable LMUM treated with 43 PHP-M (median 2 PHP-M) between 2014 and 2019. Tumor response and adverse events were evaluated using RECIST 1.1 and the Clavien-Dindo classification. Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox regression hazard proportional models were used. Results:Of 19 patients, 10 (53%) achieved a partial response (PR) and 9 (47%) had stable disease (SD). There was no progressive disease (PD) and no adverse events exceeding Clavien-Dindo grade IV. Median OS was 16.7 months after the first PHP-M treatment and 26.4 months after initial diagnosis. Low hepatic tumor volume (median of 10?mL vs. 150?mL) was an independent predictor of favorable OS (hazard ratio (95% confidence interval): 0.190 (0.041, 0.893); p < 0.05), and female patients were at a lower risk compared with males (0.146 (0.017, 1.240)). Estimates of the overall survival were 0.213 (0.0449, 1) from first imaging (95% confidence interval) to 5 years and 0.793 (0.609, 1) and 0.604 (0.380, 0.960) for 1 and 2 years after chemosaturation, respectively. Discussion. PHP-M for nonresectable LMUV provides a safe and locally efficient liver-directed procedure that offers patients a chance for long-term OS, especially for patients with a low hepatic tumor burden.

Prospective evaluation of percutaneous hepatic perfusion with melphalan as a treatment for unresectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer.

Project description:PurposePercutaneous hepatic perfusion with melphalan (M-PHP) is increasingly used in patients with liver metastases from various primary tumors, yet data on colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) are limited. The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of M-PHP in patients with CRLM.Materials and methodsProspective, single-center, single-arm phase II study of M-PHP with hemofiltration in patients with unresectable CRLM. Proven, extrahepatic metastatic disease was one of the exclusion criteria. Primary outcomes were overall response rate (ORR) and best overall response (BOR). Secondary outcomes were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), hepatic PFS (hPFS), and safety.ResultsA total of 14 M-PHP procedures were performed in eight patients between March 2014 and December 2015. All patients (median age 56 years, ranging from 46 to 68) had received (extensive) systemic chemotherapy before entering the study. The ORR was 25.0%, with two out of eight patients showing partial response as BOR. Median OS was 17.3 months (ranging from 2.6 to 30.9) with a one-year OS of 50.0%. Median PFS and hPFS were 4.4 and 4.5 months, respectively. No serious adverse events occurred. Grade 3/4 hematologic adverse events were observed in the majority of patients, though all were transient and well-manageable.ConclusionM-PHP is a safe procedure with only limited efficacy in patients with unresectable CRLM who already showed progression of disease after receiving one or more systemic treatment regimens.

Evaluation of Delcath Systems' Generation 2 (GEN 2) melphalan hemofiltration system in a porcine model of percutaneous hepatic perfusion.

Project description:PURPOSE: A new melphalan hemoperfusion filter (GEN 2) was evaluated in a simulated-use porcine model of percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP). The current study evaluated melphalan filtration efficiency, the transfilter pressure gradient, and the removal of specific blood products. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A porcine PHP procedure using the GEN 2 filter was performed under Good Laboratory Practice conditions to model the 60-min clinical PHP procedure. RESULTS: The mean filter efficiency for removing melphalan in six filters was 99.0 ± 0.4 %. The transfilter pressure gradient across the filter averaged 20.9 mmHg for the 60-min procedure. Many blood components, including albumin and platelets, decreased on average from 3.55 to 2.02 g/dL and from 342 to 177 × 10.e3/μL, respectively, during the procedure. CONCLUSION: The increased melphalan extraction efficiency of the new filter is expected to decrease systemic melphalan exposure. In addition, the low transfilter pressure gradient resulted in low resistance to blood flow in the GEN 2 filter, and the changes to blood components are expected to be clinically manageable.

Surgical versus percutaneous isolated pelvic perfusion (IPP) for advanced melanoma: comparison in terms of melphalan pharmacokinetic pelvic bio-availability.

Project description:BackgroundIsolated pelvic perfusion (IPP) can be used to treat unresectable melanoma metastases of the pelvis. IPP can be performed either by surgical or percutaneous approaches, using different balloon catheters. The aim of this study was to examine whether the surgical and percutaneous approaches were comparable with respect to tumor drug exposure in the pelvis.MethodsA pharmacokinetic study was performed in 5 melanoma patients treated with surgical IPP and five with percutaneous IPP. Both groups received melphalan at the dose of 30 mg/m2. Melphalan pharmacokinetic analyses were performed and the main parameter used to evaluate pelvic tumor drug-exposure was the ratio of areas under the melphalan plasma concentration curves in the pelvis and the systemic compartment, during the perfusion time (AUC0 to 20). Non-parametric Mann-Whitney tests were employed for statistical comparisons.ResultsThe median and interquartile range (IQR) values of the ratios between melphalan AUC0 to 20 in pelvic and systemic compartments were 7.9 (IQR 7.2 to 9.9) and 5 (IQR 4 to 7.9) for surgical and percutaneous IPPs, respectively (p = 0.209).ConclusionsTumor exposure to drug using these two methods did not statistically differ and both methods, therefore, can be adopted interchangeably, utilizing a perfusion blood flow rate of approximately 120 ml/min. The small sample size is a limitation of this study but our preliminary results can be used to calculate the effect size of a larger trial.

Over 12 Years Single Institutional Experience Performing Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion for Unresectable Liver Metastases.

Project description:Patients with unresectable hepatic metastases, from uveal or ocular melanoma, are challenging to treat with an overall poor prognosis. Although over the past decade significant advances in systemic therapies have been made, metastatic disease to the liver, especially from uveal melanoma, continues to be a poor prognosis. Percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) is a safe, viable treatment option for these patients. PHP utilizes high dose chemotherapy delivered directly to the liver while minimizing systemic exposure and can be repeated up to 6 times. Isolation of the hepatic vasculature with a double-balloon catheter allows for high concentration cytotoxic therapy to be administered with minimal systemic adverse effects. A detailed description of the multidisciplinary treatment protocol used at an institution with over 12 years of experience is discussed and recommendations are given. A dedicated team of a surgical or medical oncology, interventional radiology, anesthesiology and a perfusionist allows PHP to be repeatedly performed as a safe treatment strategy for unresectable hepatic metastases.
