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 the first-line treatment in patients with unresectable CRLM.

RECRUITINGcurative-intent resection rate
The primary study objective is to compare the rate of conversion to resectable liver after HAI plus sys-CT and sys-CT alone in colorectal cancer patients with previously untreated and unresectable liver metastases at diagnosis. Randomized patients will receive either chemotherapy combining HAI oxaliplatin plus systemic FOLFIRI and targeted therapy (bevacizumab or cetuximab) or systemic FOLFIRI and targeted therapy (bevacizumab or cetuximab).
Time frame: Every 4 cycles of chemotherapy (approximately 24 months) (each cycle is 2weeks)
Overall survival
Time frame: Every 8 weeks from date of first treatment until the date of death from any cause, assessed approximately up to 24 months
Progression-free survival
Time frame: Every 8 weeks from date of first treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed approximately up to 24 months
Toxicity profile
Overall safety profile verified as relevance of adverse events and laboratory abnormality in the study and grades granted based on (USA National Cancer Center) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events such as the type, frequency and severity (CTCAE), v4.0.
Time frame: Every 4 weeks from date of first treatment until date of last treatment up to 24 months
Overall response rate (ORR)
Overall objective response rate (ORR) is the best response rate stipulated as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) (target lesion and tumor response defined according to RECIST guideline version 1.1) and identified as percentage of the confirmed patients.
Time frame: Every 8 weeks from date of first treatment until date of last treatment up to 24 months
