Intraperitoneal Irinotecan With Concomitant FOLFOX and Bevacizumab

The rationale of the current study is that the addition of intraperitoneal irinotecan (75 mg) to palliative systemic therapy is feasible and safe, and might result in an increased overall and progression free survival in patients with unresectable colorectal peritoneal metastases. The primary objectives are to explore the overall survival for the addition of intraperitoneal irinotecan (75 mg) to palliative systemic therapy in patients with unresectable colorectal peritoneal metastases. Secondary objectives are to assess the progression-free survival, toxicity profile, patient reported outcomes, costs, tumor response during trial treatment, and the systemic and intraperitoneal pharmacokinetics of irinotecan and SN-38. This is a single-arm, open-label, phase II study and patients will receive intraperitoneal irinotecan (75 mg) in combination with modified FOLFOX4 + bevacizumab.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Histologically confirmed colorectal cancer;
* Radiologically and clinically or pathologically confirmed unresectable colorectal peritoneal metastases (e.g. PCI \>20, extensive small bowel involvement, unresectable disease due to anatomical location);
* WHO performance score of 0-1 with a life expectancy of \>3 months;
* Aged 18 years or older;
* Written informed consent;

Exclusion Criteria:

* Presence of extensive systemic metastases that are deemed to be the dominant factor determining prognosis in terms of life expectancy and performance status \[e.g. no imminent threat of impaired organ functioning due to the presence of systemic metastases\]);
* Prior cytoreductive surgery;
* Prior palliative systemic therapy for colorectal cancer;
* Prior neo-adjuvant/adjuvant systemic therapy for colorectal cancer within the last 6 months;
* Homozygous UGT1A1\*28 genotype;
* Homozygous dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency
* Microsatellite instable (MSI) primary tumor
* Any contra-indication for the planned chemotherapy (e.g. active infection, serious concomitant disease, severe allergy), as determined by the medical oncologist;
* Inadequate organ functions, defined as an haemoglobin of \<5 mmol/L, an absolute neutrophil count of \<1.5 x 109/L, platelet count of \<100 x 109/L, serum creatinine of \>1.5 x ULN, creatinine clearance of \<30 ml/min, Bilirubin \> 2x ULN and liver transaminases of \>5 x ULN.
