Study Summary

This trial is studying floxuridine, dexamethasone, and bevacizumab to see how well they work in treating patients with unresectable primary liver cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with primary liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery. Eligible participants may have had previous chemotherapy, must not have a history of certain bleeding in the esophagus, and should not have more than 70% liver involvement or any spread outside the liver. They need measurable disease and good enough health to withstand anesthesia.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests combining floxuridine and dexamethasone (chemotherapy drugs) given directly into the liver's arteries with bevacizumab (a monoclonal antibody). The goal is to see if this approach better kills tumor cells by blocking their blood supply and growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to infusion, increased risk of bleeding or wound healing complications, high blood pressure, damage to organs from blocked blood flow, fatigue, changes in blood counts leading to higher infection risk or bruising easily.

All patients enrolled in the study will receive HAI FUDR (0.16 mg/kg X pump volume / pump flow rate), Dexamethasone (1 mg/m2/day) and IV Bevacizumab at 5mg/kg. Chemotherapy with HAI FUDR/Dex will commence no sooner than 14 days post surgical placement of HAI pump; patients will receive their first treatment with Bevacizumab no sooner than 28 days post surgical placement of HAI pump.
