Brief Title: Irreversible Electroporation (NanoKnife ®) and Immunotherapy for the Treatment of Stage IV Colorectal Cancer
Official Title: Immune Response to Irreversible Electroporation (NanoKnife ®) and a Checkpoint Inhibitor With or Without CpG Oligodeoxynucleotides for the Treatment of Stage IV Colorectal Cancer
Study ID: NCT06047015
Brief Summary: The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn about the combination of immune boosting drugs and irreversible electroporation (IRE) in patients with colon cancer that has spread to the liver (metastasis). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. to document the rate of complications associated with combining IRE with immune boosting drugs. 2. After one liver metastasis is treated with IRE and immune boosting drugs, what is the change in the size of the non-IRE-treated liver metastases? 3. What is the immune response (measured in a blood sample) when IRE is combined with one or two types of immune boosting drugs?
Detailed Description: Single-centre pilot study of the use of IRE for the treatment of 12 patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases to assess feasibility and gain preliminary data to inform the design of a larger study.
