Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with histologically confirmed colorectal cancer and unresectable peritoneal metastases.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with extensive systemic metastases or those who have undergone prior cytoreductive surgery may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study investigates the feasibility and safety of adding intraperitoneal irinotecan to palliative systemic therapy for patients with unresectable colorectal peritoneal metastases. It aims to evaluate overall survival and progression-free survival, as well as assess the toxicity profile and patient-reported outcomes. Participants will receive a combination of intraperitoneal irinotecan, modified FOLFOX4, and bevacizumab in a single-arm, open-label design. The study will also analyze pharmacokinetics and tumor response during treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve overall and progression-free survival for patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar approaches, but this specific combination is being explored in a novel context.
