AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
. Imaging or pathological confirmation of liver metastases
. The multidisciplinary team determined that the liver metastases were unresectable, defined as (i) ≥5 metastases; (ii) inability to perform R0 resection; (iii) insufficient volume of liver expected to remain after resection; (iv) failure to preserve all 3 hepatic veins after resection, failure to ensure that blood flow to and from the liver and bile ducts can be preserved, and failure to preserve 2 adjacent liver segments. If any of the above criteria are met, it can be considered as initially unresectable liver metastases.
. Patients with mutated RAS and BrafV600E
. No previous treatment for liver metastases, including chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and targeted therapy
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
. No extrahepatic metastases confirmed by CT, MRI, or PET/CT (if necessary) (consider enrollment if there is a lung or lymph node lesion less than 10 mm and metastases are difficult to identify)
. Normal hematological function (platelets \>90×109/L; white blood cells \>3×109/L; neutrophils \>1.5×109/L)
. Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal value (ULN), transaminases ≤ 5 times ULN
Exclusion criteria
. Presence of any extrahepatic metastases and/or primary tumor not amenable to radical surgical resection
. Development of liver metastases within 1 year after completion of adjuvant chemotherapy with FOLFOX or XELOX
. Severe arterial embolism or ascites
. Bleeding tendency or coagulation disorder
. Hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy
. Severe uncontrolled systemic complications such as infections or diabetes mellitus
. Clinically significant cardiovascular disease such as cerebrovascular accident (within 6 months prior to enrollment), myocardial infarction (within 6 months prior to enrollment), uncontrolled hypertension despite appropriate medication, unstable angina pectoris, congestive heart failure (NYHA class 2-4), arrhythmias requiring medication
. History or physical examination revealing a central nervous system disease (e.g., primary brain tumor, epilepsy not manageable by standard therapy, presence of brain metastases, or history of stroke)
