PG - 1252-1263 LID - 10.1245/s10434-023-14519-8 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Discontinuation of the Codman 3000 pump in 2018 left no Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved hepatic artery infusion (HAI) device for unresectable colorectal liver metastases (uCLM) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (uIHC). Historically, HAI has been performed at academic medical centers in large metropolitan areas, which are often inaccessible to rural patients. Consequently, feasibility of dissemination of HAI to rural populations is unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Under an FDA investigational device exemption, we opened the only HAI program in Kentucky and enrolled patients with uCLM and uIHC in a phase I clinical trial. The trial examined the safety of the hybrid Codman catheter/Medtronic SynchroMed II pump (hCMP) combination, defined as successful completion of one cycle of HAI chemotherapy. Rural feasibility was assessed by number of missed pump fills appointments. RESULTS: A total of 21 patients (n = 17 uCLM, n = 4 uIHC) underwent hCMP implantation before accrual was stopped early owing to FDA approval of the Intera 3000 pump. 20/21 (95%) patients met the primary safety endpoint. Serious adverse events (AEs) included a grade 5 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection (n = 1) and a grade 3 catheter erosion into the bowel (n = 1). Biliary sclerosis developed in two patients (9.5%). Median distance to infusion center was 47.6 miles (2-138 miles), and 62% were from Appalachia, yet there were no missed pump fill appointments. The 2-year overall survival was 82.4% (uCLM) and 50% (uIHC). CONCLUSIONS: The hCMP device had an acceptable safety profile. Despite the complexity of starting a new HAI program, early results showed feasibility for HAI delivery in a rural catchment area and comparable outcomes to larger urban-based HAI centers.
