Targeted treatment with tislelizumab and HAIC for advanced liver metastasis from colon cancer

Targeted Treatment Based on CtDNA Genotyping Combined with Tislelizumab and HAIC As Salvage Treatment for Advanced Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis Failed from Standard Systemic Treatment (SALVLIV Trial)

Not applicable Interventional Peking University · NCT06199232

This study is testing a new combination treatment for patients with advanced colon cancer that has spread to the liver, to see if it works better for those who haven't had success with standard therapies.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the efficacy and safety of a combination treatment involving hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), targeted therapy, and the PD-1 inhibitor tislelizumab for patients with advanced colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRCLM) who have failed standard systemic treatments. The approach is based on ctDNA genotyping to tailor the treatment regimen for individuals with microsatellite stable (MSS) CRCLM. The study aims to provide a personalized treatment strategy to improve outcomes for patients who have limited options after standard therapies.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-80 with unresectable liver metastasis from colorectal cancer who have failed first- and second-line systemic treatments.

Not a fit: Patients with resectable liver metastasis or those who have not yet undergone standard systemic treatments may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new, individualized option for patients with advanced liver metastasis from colon cancer who have exhausted standard treatment options.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with HAIC and targeted therapies for similar conditions, suggesting potential for success in this novel combination approach.
