What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tests whether a liver transplant from a living donor can help people with colon cancer that has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed by surgery. About 25 adults will receive a partial liver from a healthy donor. The goal is to see if this approach helps them live longer and stay cancer-free compared to standard chemotherapy alone. Donors will also be monitored for safety and quality of life.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18. * Histologically confirmed colon and rectum (intraperitoneal) adenocarcinoma. * Pathological classification of primary tumor as pT1-3, without peritoneal tumor deposits, absence of mucinous component \>50%, confirmed R0 resection, no limitations for RAS mutations, B-RAF wild type. * No signs of extra hepatic metastatic disease or local recurrence according to CT scan+MRI+PET/CT scans. * Liver metastases not eligible for curative liver resection * Objective response according to RECIST 1.1 to first-line treatment, with sustained response for at least 4 months, OR disease control (complete \[CR\] or partial response \[PR\] or standard disease \[SD\]) during second- line treatment for at least 4 months. * Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) values stable or decreasing during the enrollment prior to liver transplant. * Performance status, ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) 0-2. * Signed informed consent and expected cooperation of the patients for the treatment and follow-up, and national/local regulations. Exclusion Criteria: * Hereditary CRC syndromes including FAP (Familial adenomatous polyposis) and Lynch syndrome. * Prior extra hepatic metastatic disease or primary tumor local relapse. * Palliative resection of primary CRC tumor. * Disease progression * Other malignancies in the previous 5 years (with exception of in situ cervical carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma; superficial bladder tumors are allowed if curatively treated). * Active intra-venous or alcohol abusers (patients may be eligible if abstention \> 6 months is demonstrated) * Active HIV infection * Psychiatric disorders and patient low compliance * Any reason why, in the judgment of the investigators, the patient should not participate (to be formally declared)
