Pulmonary Suffusion in Controlling Minimal Residual Disease in Patients with Soft Tissue Sarcoma, Bone Sarcoma, or Colorectal Cancer Metastatic to the Lungs
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of pulmonary suffusion in controlling minimal residual disease in patients with soft tissue sarcoma, bone sarcoma or colorectal cancer that has spread to the lungs (metastatic). Pulmonary suffusion is a minimally invasive delivery of chemotherapeutic agents like cisplatin, doxorubicin, gemcitabine, or oxaliplatin to lung tissues. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Pulmonary suffusion may also be useful in avoiding later use of drugs by vein that demonstrate no effect on tumors when delivered locally.
Inclusion Criteria
- Tumors metastatic to the lungs that are the focus of this protocol specifically: * Soft tissue sarcoma * Osteosarcoma * Colorectal carcinoma
- Age >= 18 years of age
- Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of =< 2
- Hemoglobin > 8.0 g/L
- Granulocytes > 1,500 uL
- Platelets >= 100,000 uL
- Creatinine clearance >= 30 mL/min
- Clinically diagnosed resectable lung metastases (while pre-registration histologic or cytologic confirmation is desirable, this may not be required in clinical scenarios where a biopsy may not change the need to resect suspicious lung nodules or the biopsy itself poses a risk for tumor seeding. In such cases, the diagnosis will be supported by rapid pathologic evaluations intraoperatively before proceeding with Suffusion). Given the emergence of other acceptable options to destroy lung metastases such as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) or microwave ablation, a hybrid approach to eliminate all sites of disease will be permitted; however, supplemental approaches should be delayed, if possible, until after the 30 day post-suffusion endpoint.
- Have measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria present
- Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) >= 50% predicted
- Diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) >= 50% predicted
- Vital capacity (VC) >= 50% predicted
- Ambulatory and resting oxygen (O2) saturation > 88%
- Six minute walk >= 50 % of the expected distance
- Surgeon affirmation that suffusion is technically feasible
- Borg Dyspnea scale (modified) < 5
- Control of the primary tumor as determined by clinical assessment per standard of care; may include stable tumor status of primary tumor and other metastases, in the clinical judgement of the principal investigator (PI)/physician
- Participants of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraceptive methods (e.g., hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately
- Participant or legal representative must understand the investigational nature of this study and sign an Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board approved written informed consent form prior to receiving any study related procedure
Exclusion Criteria
- Participants who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or those who have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier
- Participants with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events
- Allergy, intolerance, or other serious reaction to cisplatin or any other alternate chemotherapy drug that may be used in the procedure
- Pregnant or nursing female participants
- Unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements
- Pulmonary metastases unable to be completely resected or ablated based on pre-registration review of imaging by a thoracic surgeon or proceduralist
- Any additional condition which in the investigator’s opinion deems the participant an unsuitable candidate to receive study drug or the suffusion technique
- Received an investigational agent within 30 days prior to enrollment
- The following special populations are excluded from this study: * Cognitively impaired adults/adults with impaired decision-making capacity * Individuals who are not yet adults (infants, children, teenagers) * Pregnant women * Prisoners

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the safety of chemotherapy isolated to the pulmonary circulation by determining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of each chemotherapy agent. (Phase I)
II. To determine the rate of local recurrences in patients receiving pulmonary suffusion, compared to historical controls in patients with completely resected pulmonary metastases (unilateral and bilateral disease). (Phase II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the local and systemic toxicities associated with pulmonary suffusion. (Phase I)
II. To determine whether suffusion improves metastatic control by suppressing progression of microscopic metastases to new lesions assessable by imaging. (Phase I)
III. To determine disease-free survival (DFS) in patients receiving pulmonary suffusion compared to historical controls, in patients with completely resected pulmonary metastases (unilateral and bilateral disease). (Phase II)
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the pulmonary suffusion-associated changes in local tumor microenvironment (TME) and potential of suffusion as an immune modulation enhancement. (Phase II)
II. To determine overall survival (OS) in patients receiving pulmonary suffusion compared to historical controls, in patients with completely resected pulmonary metastases (unilateral and bilateral disease). (Phase II)
III. To compare histology of tumor samples with previously resected specimens with attention to biomarkers of systemic immune recognition in patients eligible for repeat suffusion. (Phase II)
IV. To obtain tumor and systemic immune biomarkers including cytokine activations for correlation with clinical responses. (Phase II)
V. To correlate local control with biomarker for tissue effect from chemotherapy (including tissue levels of suffused drug). (Phase II)
VI. To correlate local disease control with tumor biomarker for metastasis (circulating [ct] deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA], ribonucleic acid [RNA], micro [mi]RNA). (Phase II)
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo pulmonary suffusion consisting of chemotherapy (cisplatin, doxorubicin, gemcitabine or oxaliplatin chosen by the physician) via infusion. Patients then undergo metastasectomy while on study. Patients may undergo echocardiography (ECHO) or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) during screening. Patients undergo computed tomography (CT) during screening as well as x-ray imaging during screening and on the trial. Patients also undergo blood sample collection and tissue biopsy on the trial.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3 months, then every 6 months for 5 years.
