Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This study is focused on examining the effectiveness of combining histotripsy, a non-invasive procedure approved by the FDA, with chemotherapy to treat liver tumors in patients who have colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. Histotripsy uses sound waves to break down liver tumors without the need for surgery. The trial aims to include up to 100 participants who have colorectal cancer that has metastasized, or spread, to the liver. The goal is to see if this combination can offer better treatment outcomes for these patients, potentially providing a new option for those affected by this condition. Participants in this study will receive both histotripsy and chemotherapy to target their liver tumors. The study will closely monitor the effects of this combined treatment on the liver tumors, assessing how well the tumors are reduced or eliminated. While the study aims to determine the benefits of this approach, as with any medical procedure, there may be risks involved. The study will not only look at the effectiveness but also monitor any side effects or complications that may arise from the treatment combination.
