Cetuximab Plus FOLFOXIRI vs Cetuximab Plus FOLFOX For CRCLM
Cetuximab Plus FOLFOXIRI vs Cetuximab Plus FOLFOX in Patients With Initially Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastasis
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 3 Aug 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The aim of the trial is to optimize response rates and rates of secondary resections of metastases in patients with initially non-resectable metastatic colorectal cancer Liver Metastasis of RAS wildtype. The patients will be treated in two therapy groups: Experimental arm A: Chemotherapy with FOLFOXIRI + Cetuximab Standard arm B: Chemotherapy with FOLFOX + Cetuximab

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Presence of any extrahepatic metastasis and/or primary tumor that cannot be resected with radical surgery.
- Clinically significant cardiovascular disease such as cerebrovascular accident (within 6 months prior to enrollment), myocardial infarction (within 6 months prior to enrollment), uncontrolled hypertension despite appropriate medical treatment. Unstable angina, congestive heart failure (NYHA class 2-4), cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication.
- Treatment with any ongoing investigational drug within the last 28 days prior to the study.
- Any residual toxicity from prior chemotherapy (except alopecia), such as peripheral neuropathy ≥ NCI CTC v4.03 Grade 2, will not be considered for oxaliplatin-containing regimen.
- Patients with any other diseases, dysfunction caused by metastatic lesions, or suspected disease found by physical examination, indicating possible contraindications to the use of the investigational drug or putting the patients at high risk of treatment-related complications.
Other illness
- Have bleeding tendency or coagulation disorder.
- Serious uncontrolled systemic complications such as infection or diabetes.
- History or physical evidence of central nervous system disease (e.g., primary brain tumor, epilepsy uncontrolled by standard of care, any history of brain metastases or stroke).
- History of other malignancies (except basal cell carcinoma of the skin and/or carcinoma in situ of the cervix after radical surgery) within the past 5 years.
- Hypersensitivity to any drug in the study.
Age
- Women of childbearing age (\< 2 years after menstruation) or men of childbearing potential who are not using or refuse to use effective non-hormonal contraception (intrauterine contraceptive ring, barrier contraceptives combined with spermicidal gel, or surgical sterilization).
Other
- Serious arterial embolism or ascites.
- Have hypertensive risk or hypertensive encephalopathy.
- Pregnant and lactating women.
- Unable or unwilling to comply with the study protocol.
Who the study is looking for
- Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 70 years.
- Histologically confirmed colorectal adenocarcinoma.
- Liver metastasis confirmed by imaging or pathology.
- The multidisciplinary team (MDT) determines that the liver metastases are unresectable, which is specifically defined as ① metastatic lesions ≥ 5; ② ineligible for R0 resection; ③ expected insufficient residual liver volume after resection; ④ unable to preserve all three hepatic veins after resection, unable to ensure that the blood flow and bile ducts of the residual liver into and out of the liver could be preserved, and unable to preserve the adjacent two liver segments. Patients who meet any of the above criteria can be determined as having initially unresectable liver metastases.
- Patients with wild-type RAS.
- No prior treatment for liver metastases, including chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), and targeted therapy.
- Absence of extrahepatic metastasis confirmed by CT, MRI or PET/CT (if necessary) (enrollment can be considered if there is a lung or lymph node lesion less than 10 mm, which is difficult to determine metastases).
- Normal hematologic function (platelets \> 90 × 109/L; leukocytes \> 3 × 109/L; neutrophils \> 1.5 × 109/L).
- Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) and transaminases ≤ 5 times ULN.
- No ascites, normal coagulation function, albumin ≥ 35 g/L.
- Liver function: Child-Push score: Class A
- Serum creatinine \< ULN, or calculated creatinine clearance \> 50 ml/min (using the Cockcroft-Gault formula).
- ECOG score 0-1.
- Life expectancy \> 3 months.
- Sign written informed consent.
- Willing and able to be followed up until death or end of study or study termination.
