Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Combined chemotherapy and radiofrequency electromagnetic field treatment for patients with liver dominant refractory metastatic colorectal cancer

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin is currently the only German University Hospital with an available capacitive radiofrequency electromagnetic field treatment device. While there is only data available regarding the low toxicity profile of radiofrequency electromagnetic field treatment for various regions of the body including the abdomen there is no data available on the combined effect of TAS-102 and Bevacizumab and radiofrequency electromagnetic field treatment. The investigators aim to conduct a feasibility trial and plan to compare the results with data of a prospective trial with a comparable patient population.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

TAS-102 and Bevacizumab and radiofrequency electromagnetic field treatment

Each treatment cycle with TAS-102 will be 28 days in duration.

One treatment cycle consists of the following:

* Days 1: Bevacizumab (5 mg/m2/dose) intravenous.
* Days 1 through 5: TAS-102 (35 mg/m2/dose) orally 2 times daily with the first dose administered in the morning of Day 1 of each cycle and the last dose administered in the evening of Day 5.
* Days 6 through 7: Recovery
* Days 8 through 12: TAS-102 (35 mg/m2/dose) orally 2 times daily with the first dose administered in the morning of Day 8 of each cycle and the last dose administered in the evening of Day 12.
* Days 13 through 28: Recovery
* Days 15: Bevacizumab (5 mg/m2/dose) intravenously.

Radiofrequency electromagnetic field treatment using the EHY-2030 device starts within the first week of systemic therapy 2 times weekly (60 min each) with an interval of at least 48h. A modulated electric field with a carrier radiofrequency 13.56 MHz will be generated.
