Combination Chemotherapy and Bevacizumab with the NovoTTF-100L/ NovoTTF-200T System in Treating Patients with Advanced, Recurrent, or Refractory Hepatic Metastatic Cancer

Trial Status: active

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of combination chemotherapy and bevacizumab, and to see how well they work with the NovoTTF-100L/ NovoTTF-200T system in treating patients with cancer that has come back or does not respond to treatment and has spread to the liver. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, leucovorin, fluorouracil, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, and temsirolimus, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The NovoTTF-100L/ NovoTTF-200T system is a portable device that uses electrical fields to stop the growth of tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy and monoclonal antibody therapy while using the NovoTTF-100L/ NovoTTF-200T system may kill more tumor cells.
