About this study

In plain language

This study tests Y-90 radiation treatment with capecitabine and atezolizumab. It is for adults with colon or rectal cancer that has spread only or mainly to the liver and cannot be removed by surgery. Their cancer must have gotten worse after at least two types of whole-body treatment.

BrUOG-430 is a prospective, single-arm, phase 2 trial evaluating yttrium-90 radioembolization in combination with capecitabine and atezolizumab for the treatment of unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases in individuals who have been treated with two or more lines of systemic therapy.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Who can join

  • Be age 18 or older, with colon or rectal adenocarcinoma confirmed by a tissue test.
  • Have cancer only or mainly in the liver that can be measured and cannot be removed by surgery.
  • Have cancer that takes up less than half of the liver.
  • Have cancer that got worse after at least two types of whole-body treatment.
  • Be fully active or able to do light work despite some limits on hard physical activity.
  • Meet the study’s blood count, kidney, liver, and blood-clotting test limits.
  • Agree to give tumor tissue and blood samples, sign a consent form, and follow study steps.
  • Follow birth control rules: women who can become pregnant need a negative pregnancy test and birth control through 6 months after the last dose; men with partners who can become pregnant need birth control through 3 months after. Stop breastfeeding during treatment and for 5 months afterward.

Who can't join

  • Past Y-90 treatment, radiation aimed at the liver from outside the body, or certain immune treatments targeting CD137, PD-1, PD-L1, or CTLA-4.
  • Tumor tests showing certain DNA repair problems (dMMR or MSI-H) or many gene changes (TMB-H).
  • Cancer in the lining of the belly, brain, or spinal cord. Some small brain tumors without symptoms, or brain tumors treated and stable for 1 month, are allowed.
  • Experimental treatment within 28 days, or whole-body treatment within 14 days or longer depending on the drug. Certain immune-suppressing medicines within 2 weeks, or live vaccines near or during treatment, may also exclude you.
  • Expected to live less than 3 months; serious heart disease; COPD needing oral steroids or long-term oxygen; or a disease where the immune system attacks the body. Some immune diseases are allowed.
  • HIV, active hepatitis B or C, or active tuberculosis. Past hepatitis B that has cleared is allowed.
  • Severe allergies to certain antibody medicines or atezolizumab ingredients, or inability to swallow medicine.
  • Another cancer or health problem that could make the study unsafe or affect its results, including a lack of DPD, an enzyme that breaks down certain drugs.
