The purpose of the study is to assess the overall survival and progression free survival of patients treated with Litx™ + chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in the treatment of Colorectal Cancer with recurrent liver metastases, and to demonstrate the safety of Litx™ therapy. Litx™ consists of a light-activated drug, talaporfin sodium (LS11, Light Sciences Oncology, Bellevue, Washington), and a light generating device, composed of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), that is energized by a power controller and percutaneously placed in the target tumor tissue inside the body.
Randomized, stratified, two arm study: * Litx™ and chemotherapy arm (FOLFOX4 or FOLFIRI) * Chemotherapy only arm (FOLFOX4 or FOLFIRI) For patients who have progressed on FOLFIRI, they will be treated with Litx™ plus FOLFOX4 versus FOLFOX4 alone; and for patients who have progressed on FOLFOX, they will be treated with Litx™ plus FOLFIRI versus FOLFIRI alone. Stratification upon enrollment by chemotherapy and tumor sum of the longest diameter (SLD) (SLD \< 4 cm or SLD ≥4 cm but ≤7.5 cm).

LS11 (Talaporfin Sodium) dose is 1mg/kg administered intravenously slow push (3-5 minutes).
Light Source placement will be conducted under placement imaging using ultrasound or CT guidance. No more than four Light Sources will be used at a single treatment session. The Light Sources may be used in a single lesion or in multiple lesions.
