Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Plain Language Summary This study uses hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) rechallenge for patients with biliary tract cancer or colorectal cancer liver metastases whose disease has progressed after previous systemic chemotherapy. We aimed to evaluate the treatment's effectiveness and safety. The findings may help patients, family members and healthcare providers understand the benefits and risks of HAIC rechallenge for this patient group.

- label
- HAIC Rechallenge Cohort
- description
- Patients with pathologically confirmed biliary tract cancer or colorectal cancer liver metastases who developed disease progression after prior systemic chemotherapy and received hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) rechallenge. This retrospective observational study evaluates the efficacy and safety of HAIC rechallenge in this patient population.

Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Objective Response Rate (ORR)
- timeFrame
- Up to 24 weeks from the start of HAIC rechallenge treatment; tumor imaging assessments at baseline and every 6-8 weeks thereafter until 24 weeks.
- description
- Objective response rate defined as the percentage of patients with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) assessed according to RECIST version 1.1. Tumor assessments were performed by contrast-enhanced CT/MRI.

Inclusion Criteria:Inclusion Criteria: 1. Pathologically confirmed biliary tract cancer (including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, hilar cholangiocarcinoma, distal cholangiocarcinoma) or colorectal cancer with liver metastases. 2. Received at least 2 cycles of prior systemic chemotherapy, with best response of stable disease (SD) followed by progression, or direct progressive disease (PD), indicating resistance to prior systemic chemotherapy. 3. Interval between the last cycle of prior systemic chemotherapy and initiation of HAIC rechallenge is at least 1 month. 4. At least one measurable target lesion in the liver per RECIST 1.1 criteria. 5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) score of 0-2. 6. Adequate major organ function to meet the requirements for HAIC treatment. 7. Voluntarily signed informed consent form. \- Exclusion Criteria:Exclusion Criteria: 1. Extensive extrahepatic metastases (except for isolated, locally manageable pulmonary or lymph node metastases). 2. Contraindications to HAIC, including severe coagulopathy, complete portal vein main trunk tumor thrombus, or Child-Pugh class C liver function. 3. Prior local therapies (such as ablation or radiotherapy) before HAIC rechallenge that would interfere with target lesion assessment. 4. Concomitant other uncontrolled malignancies. 5. Pregnant or breastfeeding women. \-
