Table 1 Eligibility Criteria

From: Alliance for clinical trials in Oncology (Alliance) trial A022101/NRG-GI009: a pragmatic randomized phase III trial evaluating total ablative therapy for patients with limited metastatic colorectal cancer: evaluating radiation, ablation, and surgery (ERASur)

1. Age ≥ 18 years.

2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance status of 0–2.

3. Histologically confirmed metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma.

4. No known microsatellite instable (MSI) tumor.

5. No known BRAF V600E mutation.

6. No known peritoneal and/or omental metastases.

7. Primary tumor is already resected or amenable to resection.

8. 4 or fewer apparent sites of metastatic disease based on review by local medical team of baseline radiographic imaging obtained prior to initiation of systemic therapy. Single sites include:

 a. Each hemi-liver (right and left).

 b. Each lobe of the lungs.

 c. Each adrenal gland.

 d. Lymph nodes amenable to a single resection or treatment in a single stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) field.

 e. Bone metastases amenable to treatment in a single SABR field.

9. Liver-only metastatic disease is not permitted.

10. Metastatic lesions must be amenable to any combination of surgical resection, microwave ablation, and/or SABR. SABR is required for at least one lesion.

11. Measurable disease per RECIST v1.1.

12. No overt evidence of disease progression during systemic therapy prior to registration.

13. Not eligible for hepatic artery infusion pump (HAIP) therapy or benefit of HAIP therapy is undefined.

14. Received first-line systemic therapy for metastatic disease for a minimum of 16 weeks and a maximum of 26 weeks.

15. Prior definitive therapy, including adjuvant chemotherapy, must have been completed at least 12 months prior to diagnosis of metastatic disease.

16. No pregnant or nursing patients.

17. No other planned concurrent investigational agents while on study.

18. Required initial laboratory values:

 a. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mm3

 b. Platelet count ≥ 50,000/mm3

 c. Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min

 d. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN

 e. AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤ 3.0 x ULN– if metastatic liver disease, ≤ 5 x ULN
