Abstract Background The 10-year overall survival with adjuvant hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy after resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs) was 61% in clinical trials from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. A pilot study was performed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of adjuvant HAIP chemotherapy in patients with resectable CRLMs. Study Design A phase II study was performed in two centers in The Netherlands. Patients with resectable CRLM without extrahepatic disease were eligible. All patients underwent complete resection and/or ablation of CRLMs and pump implantation. Safety was determined by the 90-day HAIP-related postoperative complications from the day of pump placement (Clavien–Dindo classification, grade III or higher) and feasibility by the successful administration of the first cycle of HAIP chemotherapy. Results A total of 20 patients, with a median age of 57 years (interquartile range [IQR] 51–64) were included. Grade III or higher HAIP-related postoperative complications were found in two patients (10%), both of whom had a reoperation (without laparotomy) to replace a pump with a slow flow rate or to reposition a flipped pump. No arterial bleeding, arterial dissection, arterial thrombosis, extrahepatic perfusion, pump pocket hematoma, or pump pocket infections were found within 90 days after surgery. After a median of 43 days (IQR 29–52) following surgery, all patients received the first dose of HAIP chemotherapy, which was completed uneventfully in all patients. Conclusion Pump implantation is safe, and administration of HAIP chemotherapy is feasible, in patients with resectable CRLMs, after training of a dedicated multidisciplinary team.

14565 Background: Although locoregional treatments such as hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) claim the advantage of delivering higher doses of anticancer agents directly into the affected organ, there is substantial lack of evidence for benefit in terms of overall survival (OS). To test the hypothesis that systemic chemotherapy affects OS of patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases treated with HAI. Furthermore, we investigated patient- and tumor-related predictive factors that might identify patients who most benefit from HAI regimen. Methods: In this retrospective study, 153 consecutive patients treated at our institution were considered. In group-A (n=72), patients were treated with HAI alone (floxuridine (FUDR) 0.2 mg/Kg + leucovorin (LV) 4 mg/m2 + desamethasone 20 mg 14 days/month) between 1994 and 1999. In group-B (n=81), patients were treated with the same HAI regimen combined with systemic chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil (5FU) 450 mg/m2 + LV 20 mg/m2) between 1999 and 2003. Results: No difference in OS was observed between group-A and group-B (median OS: 18.0 and 19.1 months, respectively). Considering all patients (group A + group B), low tumor load was associated with a better tumor response rate, but none of the traditional clinico-pathological prognostic factors correlated with OS. Median OS was better in patients with less than 50% of liver parenchyma involvement (21.3 vs 13.2 months; P<0.0001) as well as in responders (complete or partial response) versus non-responders (24.4 vs 13.4 months; P<0.0001). The combination of low tumor load with good tumor response to HAI was the only variable retained at multivariate analysis, and identified a subgroup of patients with a very favorable clinical outcome (median survival: 34.2 months; hazard ratio: 0.347, CI: 0.249–0.564, P< 0.0001). Conclusions: Combination with 5FU+LV systemic chemotherapy did not lead to an OS benefit over FUDR-based HAI alone. The identification of tumor response predictors is urgently needed, as it would lead to the tailored treatment of patients with low load but unresectable metastatic liver disease who most benefit from HAI therapy.
