About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases focused on measuring Optimizing Thermal Ablation, Rapid Tissue Analysis, Metabolic Imaging Biomarker Validation, Predictive Genetic Signatures, 19-332

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of colorectal cancer liver metastases (CLM)
  • Confined liver disease or limited extrahepatic disease stable/controlled for at least 4 months (extrahepatic disease amenable to treatment is allowed)
  • Lesions of ≤3 cm in maximum diameter
  • At least one FDG-avid lesion to be treated***
  • Any patient with CLM treated with Microwave ablation (as per clinical IR Guidelines)*
  • INR < 1.5*
  • Platelet count ≥ 50,000

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age < 18
  • Less than 5 mm distance to a structure (GI or biliary tract), that cannot be protected from ablation injury with technical modifications such as hydro or air dissection
  • INR > 1.5 that cannot be corrected with fresh frozen plasma **
  • Platelet count of <50,000 that cannot be corrected with transfusion
  • More than 3 tumors in the liver
  • More than 5 tumors of extrahepatic disease (including mediastinal nodes and pulmonary nodules, abdominal or other lymph nodes, and bone metastasis)
  • Presence of any peritoneal Carcinomatosis

    • Institutional IR guidelines:

  • For patients on Coumadin, general clinical guidelines for IR ablation will be followed.

    • For patients with no FDG-PET avid tumors aim 2 of the protocol will not be assessed

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Patients with Colon Cancer Liver Metastases

Arm Description

The standard of care thermal ablation procedure, post-ablation biopsies and pre- and post-ablation PET scans. If the PET scan is positive (shows areas of cancer in the treated metastases), study participants will undergo additional needle biopsies of the positive areas on the scan. If the biopsies show areas of cancer cells that are still alive, the participants will be immediately retreated with a second ablation procedure.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Tumor response
will be measured according to RECIST and PERCIST 1.0. The first CT and PET scan taken after ablation will be considered the new baseline for subsequent comparisons and measurements.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study will see whether collecting and analyzing needle biopsy samples from colon cancer liver metastases (CLM) after a thermal ablation procedure will be able to identify cancer cells that are still alive. The results of these biopsies could help determine the next treatment for your cancer, but the biopsies could cause side effects.

8. Arms, Groups, and Interventions

Arm Title
Patients with Colon Cancer Liver Metastases
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Description
The standard of care thermal ablation procedure, post-ablation biopsies and pre- and post-ablation PET scans. If the PET scan is positive (shows areas of cancer in the treated metastases), study participants will undergo additional needle biopsies of the positive areas on the scan. If the biopsies show areas of cancer cells that are still alive, the participants will be immediately retreated with a second ablation procedure.
Intervention Type
Diagnostic Test
Intervention Name(s)
[18-F]- FDG - PET
Intervention Description
Patients will undergo a limited non-contrast CT and first injection PET to localize the lesion
Intervention Type
Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
Thermal ablation (TA)
Intervention Description
Standard ablation with the intent to create a radius of ablation at least 10 mm larger than the largest lesion diameter in order to achieve a minimum of 5 mm ablation margin around the tumor. Any radiographically-identified and biopsy-confirmed residual tumor will be treated on site with immediate ablation. This repeat ablation is not standard of care but will be performed as described for the initial ablation (in the same procedure session) and follow up will be resumed.
Intervention Type
Diagnostic Test
Intervention Name(s)
PET/CT Scan
Intervention Description
Eligible patients will undergo PET/CT -guided thermal ablation as per standard IR guidelines. All patients will undergo PET/CT again, within approximately 6 weeks (+/- 2 weeks) of thermal ablation to evaluate for CN in the target tumor(s) or any sign of residual tissue enhancement, representing viable residual tumor and incomplete treatment.
Primary Outcome Measure Information:
