Study Details

RATIONALE: Hepatic arterial infusion uses a catheter to carry tumor-killing substances directly into the liver. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving floxuridine and dexamethasone directly into the arteries around the tumor together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well hepatic arterial infusion with floxuridine and dexamethasone works when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver.

Arms

  • Experimental: Group 1
    Patients receive hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) therapy comprising floxuridine and dexamethasone continuously on days 1-14. Patients also receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours and irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 15. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • Experimental: Group 2
    Patients receive HAI therapy as in group 1. Patients also receive irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes and leucovorin calcium IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 15 and fluorouracil IV continuously over 48 hours on days 1, 2, 15, and 16. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
