Histotripsy Plus Chemotherapy vs Chemotherapy Alone for Advanced Colorectal Liver Metastasis

Histotripsy Plus Chemotherapy for Advanced Colorectal Liver Metastasis: A Prospective, Single-Armed Trial

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if histotripsy plus chemotherapy works to treat unresectable, bilobar liver- confined colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM). The main question this clinical trial aims to answer is: • Does the management of this condition with uninterrupted palliative chemotherapy and histotripsy demonstrate improved progression-free survival? Participants will: * Receive chemotherapy treatment per standard procedure. * Undergo histotripsy treatment according to current standard procedures at Cleveland Clinic. * Occasionally receive Computerized Tomography (CT) scan with and without contrast, give biopsy of treated and untreated liver lesions, and participate in a blood draw of up to 3 teaspoons at each in-person visit. * Participate in genetic testing, as a part of the standard of care for the treatment.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Participants with liver-confined colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) or participants who have low-volume pulmonary disease along with CRLM - Participants receiving first line therapy with base of 5-FU with either oxaliplatin or irinotecan, or who are within 3 months of beginning chemotherapy, or participants who have completed chemotherapy treatment within 1 month of the histotripsy evaluation - Participants who have undergone other liver-directed therapy, such as ablation, embolization - Participants with multiple unresectable metastases that cannot be completely treated with resection and/or ablation - Participants aged ≥18 years Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Participants with resectable disease - Participants with non-pulmonary extra-hepatic disease including but not limited to bone or peritoneal metastasis. - Participants who are not able to tolerate general anesthesia - Participants who have Childs C Cirrhosis - Other non-skin malignancy within 2 years of study - WBC count \< 3,000 /uL - Absolute Neutrophil Count \< 1,500 /uL - History of Non-malignant serious concurrent illness that would increase the risk of histotripsy - Participants with MSI-High - Participants aged \< 18 years - Pregnant participants Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Treatments Being Tested

DEVICE

HistoSonics Edison® System

Histotripsy is a novel, totally non-invasive, non-ionizing, and non-thermal ablation technique that mechanically disrupts tumors through precisely controlled acoustic cavitation. Histotripsy is administered via HistoSonics Edison® System.

DRUG

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy (standard of care with first line therapy of base of 5-FU with either oxaliplatin or irinotecan).
