First-Line FOLFOX Plus SIRT Versus FOLFOX for Unselected Patients With Liver-Only or Liver-Dominant Metastases and Limited Extrahepatic Metastases19

Outcome Study Results Absolute Effect Estimates Quality of Evidence Plain Language Summary
FOLFOX First-Line FOLFOX + SIRT
OS HR, 1.04 (95% CI, 0.90 to 1.19) (1,103 participants in three studies) 749 deaths per 1,000 763 deaths per 1,000 Lowa,b FOLFOX plus SIRT probably has little or no effect on OS compared with FOLFOX alone
Difference: 14 more per 1,000 (95% CI, 37 fewer to 58 more)
PFS HR, 0.90 (95% CI, 0.79 to 1.02) (1,103 participants in three studies) 851 deaths or progressions per 1,000 82 deaths or progressions per 1, 000 Lowa,b FOLFOX plus SIRT probably has little or no effect on PFS, compared with FOLFOX alone
Difference: 31 fewer per 1,000 (95% CI, 73 fewer to 6 more)
Grade ≥ 3 AEs OR, 1.42 (95% CI, 1.09 to 1.85) (1,078 participants in three studies) 670 events per 1,000 742 events per 1,000 Moderatea FOLFOX plus SIRT worsens grade ≥ 3 adverse events during treatment, compared with FOLFOX alone
Difference: 72 more per 1,000 (95% CI, 19 more to 120 more)

Abbreviations: AE, adverse event; FOLFOX, folinic acid, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin; HR, hazard ratio; OR, odds ratio; OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival; SIRT, selective internal radiation therapy.
