Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Study design: a multicentre, open-label, parallel-group, phase II-III, superiority study that randomises eligible patients in a 1:1 ratio.
Objectives: objectives of the phase II study (80 patients) are to explore the feasibility of accrual, the feasibility, safety, and tolerance of perioperative systemic therapy, and the radiological and pathological response of colorectal PM to neoadjuvant systemic therapy. The primary objective of the phase III study (358 patients) is to compare overall survival between both arms. Secondary objectives are to assess progression-free and disease-free survival, surgical characteristics, major postoperative morbidity, patient-reported outcomes, and costs in both arms. Other objectives are to assess major systemic therapy related toxicity and the objective radiological and pathological response of colorectal PM to neoadjuvant systemic therapy.
Study population: adults who have a good performance status, histological or cytological proof of PM of a colorectal adenocarcinoma, resectable disease, no systemic colorectal metastases within three months prior to enrolment, no systemic therapy for colorectal cancer within six months prior to enrolment, no previous CRS-HIPEC, no contraindications for the planned systemic treatment or CRS-HIPEC, and no relevant concurrent malignancies.
Intervention: at the discretion of the treating medical oncologist, perioperative systemic therapy consists of either four 3-weekly neoadjuvant and adjuvant cycles of capecitabine with oxaliplatin (CAPOX), six 2-weekly neoadjuvant and adjuvant cycles of 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin with oxaliplatin (FOLFOX), or six 2-weekly neoadjuvant cycles of 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin with irinotecan (FOLFIRI) followed by either four 3-weekly (capecitabine) or six 2-weekly (5-fluorouracil/leucovorin) adjuvant cycles of fluoropyrimidine monotherapy. Bevacizumab is added to the first three (CAPOX) or four (FOLFOX/FOLFIRI) neoadjuvant cycles.
Endpoints: primary endpoints of the phase II study are to explore the feasibility and safety of perioperative systemic therapy by comparing proportions of patients undergoing complete CRS-HIPEC and proportions of patients with major postoperative morbidity between both arms. The primary comparative endpoint of the phase III study is overall survival. Major secondary endpoints assessed in both arms are proportions of major postoperative morbidity, progression-free survival, disease-free survival, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and costs. Major secondary endpoints assessed in the experimental arm are the proportion of patients with major systemic therapy related toxicity and the proportions of patients with objective radiological and pathological responses of colorectal PM to neoadjuvant systemic therapy.
Statistical analysis: the study is powered to detect an increase in 3-year overall survival from 50% in the control arm to 65% in the experimental arm (corresponding hazard ratio 0.62), which is considered to be a clinically relevant difference by the investigators. A total number of 358 patients (179 in each arm) is needed to detect this hypothesized difference with 5% drop-out, 80% power, and a two-sided log-rank test of p\<0.05. In August 2024, when several patients in the experimental arm were still receiving trial treatment, a regular follow-up update revealed that 156 events for the primary outcome (i.e. deaths) had occurred. The study then had 85% power to detect the hypothesized hazard ratio of 0.62 for overall survival in the analysis of superiority of the experimental arm relative to the control arm at a two-sided alpha of 0.05. After discussing these data with the Data Monitoring Committee and the medical ethics committee, it was decided to schedule data cut-off for a first analysis of the primary outcome at the time the last patient in the experimental arm (enrolled April 2024) finishes trial treatment, which is expected 1 November 2024 at an estimated number of +/- 172 events (+/- 88% power).

Perioperative systemic therapy and CRS-HIPEC
At the discretion of the treating physician, perioperative systemic therapy consists of either four 3-weekly neoadjuvant and adjuvant cycles of capecitabine with oxaliplatin (CAPOX), six 2-weekly neoadjuvant and adjuvant cycles of 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin with oxaliplatin (FOLFOX), or six 2-weekly neoadjuvant cycles of 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin with irinotecan (FOLFIRI) followed by either four 3-weekly (capecitabine) or six 2-weekly (5-fluorouracil/leucovorin) adjuvant cycles of fluoropyrimidine monotherapy. Bevacizumab is added to the first three (CAPOX) or four (FOLFOX/FOLFIRI) neoadjuvant cycles.
CRS-HIPEC is performed according to the Dutch protocol in all study centres.
Perioperative systemic therapy
Neoadjuvant systemic therapy should start within four weeks after randomisation. Adjuvant systemic therapy should start within twelve weeks after CRS-HIPEC. In case of unacceptable toxicity or contraindications to oxaliplatin or irinotecan in the neoadjuvant setting, CAPOX or FOLFOX may be switched to FOLFIRI and vice versa. In case of unacceptable toxicity or contraindications to oxaliplatin in the adjuvant setting, CAPOX of FOLFOX may be switched to fluoropyrimidine monotherapy. Dose reduction, prohibited concomitant care, permitted concomitant care, and strategies to improve adherence are not specified a priori, but left to the discretion of the treating medical oncologist. Perioperative systemic therapy can be prematurely discontinued due to radiological or clinical disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, physicians decision, or at patients request.
Perioperative CAPOX-bevacizumab
Four three-weekly neoadjuvant and adjuvant cycles of CAPOX (130 mg/m2 body-surface area \[BSA\] of oxaliplatin, intravenously \[IV\] on day 1; 1000 mg/m2 BSA of capecitabine, orally twice daily on days 1-14), with bevacizumab (7.5 mg/kg body weight, IV on day 1) added to the first three neoadjuvant cycles.
Perioperative FOLFOX-bevacizumab
Six two-weekly neoadjuvant and adjuvant cycles of FOLFOX (85 mg/m2 body-surface area \[BSA\] of oxaliplatin, intravenously \[IV\] on day 1; 400 mg/m2 BSA of leucovorin, IV on day 1; 400/2400 mg/m2 BSA of bolus/continuous 5-fluorouracil, IV on day 1-2), with bevacizumab (5 mg/kg body weight, IV on day 1) added to the first four neoadjuvant cycles.
Perioperative FOLFIRI-bevacizumab
Six two-weekly neoadjuvant cycles of FOLFIRI (180 mg/m2 body-surface area \[BSA\] of irinotecan, intravenously \[IV\] on day 1; 400 mg/m2 BSA of leucovorin, IV on day 1; 400/2400 mg/m2 BSA of bolus/continuous 5-fluorouracil, IV on day 1-2) and either four three-weekly (capecitabine (1000 mg/m2 BSA, orally twice daily on days 1-14) or six two-weekly (400 mg/m2 BSA of leucovorin, IV on day 1; 400/2400 mg/m2 BSA of bolus/continuous 5-fluorouracil, IV on day 1-2) adjuvant cycles of fluoropyrimidine monotherapy, with bevacizumab (5 mg/kg body weight, IV on day 1) added to the first four neoadjuvant cycles.
CRS-HIPEC, experimental arm
CRS-HIPEC is performed according to the Dutch protocol in all study centres. Until publication of the PRODIGE7 trial, the choice of HIPEC medication (oxaliplatin or mitomycin C) has been left to the discretion of the treating physician, since neither one had a favourable safety or efficacy until then. After publication of the PRODIGE7 trial in 2021, oxaliplatin-based HIPEC was omitted in all centres (and therefore automatically omitted in the present study), and all centres switched to mitomycin C-based HIPEC. CRS-HIPEC should be performed within six weeks after completion of neoadjuvant systemic therapy in case of sufficient clinical condition, and at least six weeks after the last administration of bevacizumab in order to minimise the risk of bevacizumab-related postoperative complications.
Upfront CRS-HIPEC alone
CRS-HIPEC is performed according to the Dutch protocol in all study centres.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* histological or cytological proof of PM of a non-appendiceal colorectal adenocarcinoma with ≤50% of the tumour cells being signet ring cells;
* resectable disease determined by a diagnostic laparoscopy/laparotomy in combination with abdominal computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); only in patients in whom diagnostic laparoscopy or laparotomy is considered not feasible or valuable (e.g. due to known adhesions impeding adequate PCI scoring), it is also allowed to determine resectability by CT or MRI only (provided that the colorectal PM are histologically or cytologically proven);
* no evidence of systemic colorectal metastases within three months prior to enrolment;
* no systemic therapy for colorectal cancer within six months prior to enrolment;
* no contraindications for CRS-HIPEC;
* no previous CRS-HIPEC;
* no concurrent malignancies that interfere with the planned study treatment or the prognosis of resected colorectal PM.
Importantly, enrolment is allowed for patients with radiologically non-measurable disease. Enrolment is also allowed for patients who are referred to a study centre after a macroscopically complete resection of colorectal PM in a referring centre, since it is assumed that microscopic (and often macroscopic) colorectal PM are still present. The diagnostic laparoscopy/laparotomy may be performed in a referring centre, provided that the peritoneal cancer index (PCI) is appropriately scored and documented before enrolment.
Patients are excluded in case of any comorbidity or condition that prevents safe administration of the planned perioperative systemic therapy, determined by the treating medical oncologist, e.g.:
* Inadequate bone marrow, renal, or liver functions (e.g. haemoglobin \<6.0 mmol/L, neutrophils \<1.5 x 109/L, platelets \<100 x 109/L, serum creatinine \>1.5 x ULN, creatinine clearance \<30 ml/min, bilirubin \>2 x ULN, serum liver transaminases \>5 x ULN);
* Previous intolerance of fluoropyrimidines or both oxaliplatin and irinotecan;
* Dehydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency;
* Serious active infections;
* Severe diarrhoea;
* Stomatitis or ulceration in the mouth or gastrointestinal tract;
* Recent major cardiovascular events;
* Unstable or uncompensated respiratory or cardiac disease;
* Bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy;
* Pregnancy or lactation.
The aforementioned laboratory values and tests are to be determined at the discretion of the physician, e.g. only if the patient is suspect for abnormal conditions tests will be conducted.
