Background: In Canada, the standard of care for patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases (uCRLM) is systemic chemotherapy and/or best supportive care. Intrahepatic chemotherapy using floxuridine (FUDR), in addition to systemic chemotherapy, is available in the United States but its adoption outside major centers has been limited. Methods: A single-center, prospective study of intrahepatic chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with uCRLM was initiated at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in 2014. Patients underwent implantation of a hepatic infusion pump with resection of their primary tumor (if in place). Patients were treated with FUDR in addition to systemic chemotherapy (FOLFIRI or FOLFOX). Study objectives include the rate of conversion to complete resection, time to progression (TTP), disease-free survival (DFS), time to progression in liver, overall survival (OS), andresponse rate (RR). Results: From 2014 to present, 46 patients have been enrolled. Median age at the time of HAIP placement was 51 years (30-72 years). Males accounted for 61% (28/46). All patients received at least one cycle of systemic chemotherapy prior to surgery. 44 patients received a minimum of one cycle of FUDR, with the median number of cycles of FUDR received being 7.5 (0-28 cycles). Only one patient was unable to receive any FUDR after surgery. Response rate was 80% (n = 37/46). Three patients are too early for assessment. Eight (17.4%) patients have undergone liver resection. Median number of cycles of FUDR prior to resection was 7 (4-13 cycles). TTP, DFS, time to progression in liver, OS, and safety will be presented. Conclusions: The addition of intrahepatic chemotherapy to best systemic therapy may provide an increase in the rate of conversion to complete hepatic resection in patients with uCRLM.
