Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if giving a dose of heated chemotherapy in the abdomen immediately after surgery that is done to remove uterine leiomyosarcoma type of cancer will help lower the risk of the cancer coming back in the future.

Description:

Primary Objective:

• To assess the efficacy of cytoreductive surgery with gemcitabine HIPEC followed by postoperative systemic chemotherapy with dacarbazine in subjects with locally recurrent uterine LMS.

Secondary Objectives:

• To assess the safety of cytoreductive surgery with gemcitabine HIPEC in subjects with locally recurrent uterine LMS.

• To assess the 6 month and 12 month intraabdominal relapse free survival in subjects with locally recurrent uterine LMS

• To determine quality of life prior to therapy (within 28 days prior to surgery with HIPEC), 4 to 6 weeks after surgery with HIPEC, and then at Cycle

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

4. Age = 18 years.

5. Life expectancy > 3 months.

6. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) will have a negative pregnancy test = 7 days prior to surgery (this test can be omitted if subject is post menopausal by either surgery or elevated FSH)

14. Creatinine < 1.5 x ULN or creatinine clearance > 60 mL/min according to Cockroft Gault formula.

15. Prothrombin Time (PT) such that international normalized ratio (INR) is < 1.5 (or an in range INR, usually between 2 and 3, if a subject is on a stable dose of therapeutic warfarin or low molecular weight heparin) and a partial thromboplastin time (PTT) < 1.2 times control.

16. Serum albumin = 2.5 g/dL.

17. Ability to understand and the willingness to personally sign the written IRB approved informed consent document.

Note that this study does not allow the use of a legally authorized representative

Exclusion Criteria:

2. Active extra abdominal disease including active malignant pleural effusion. Subjects who have been successfully treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and no longer have (malignant) pleural effusions may be included.

3. Prior gemcitabine given in non adjuvant setting.

4. Prior treatment with dacarbazine.

5. Active infection requiring antibiotics.

6. Unresolved toxic effects of prior therapy (except alopecia). Resolution is considered = Grade 1 per NCI CTCAE, version 5.0.

7. Pregnant.

8. Breast feeding.

9. Presence of metastatic liver disease

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Progression free survival (PFS)	Progression free survival as measured from the time of surgery until death or disease progression.	1 year
Secondary	Rate of Grade 4 infections	Rate of Grade 4 infections within 30 days post surgery with gemcitabine HIPEC will be assessed using CTCAE version 5.0.	30 days post surgery with gemcitabine HIPEC
Secondary	Intraabdominal relapse free survival	Relapse free survival as measured from time of surgery until intraabdominal recurrence	6 months
Secondary	Intraabdominal relapse free survival	Relapse free survival as measured from time of surgery until intraabdominal recurrence	12 months
Secondary	Overall Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy: General (FACT G) score	Difference in overall FACT G score from baseline to 4 to 6 weeks post-surgery with gemcitabine HIPEC.; FACT G is a quality of life questionnaire composed of 27 items divided into four main quality of life categories: Physical Well Being (PWB); Social/Family Well Being (SWB); Emotional Well Being (EWB); and Functional Well Being (FWB). Total FACT G score is obtained by summing the scores from the four main QoL categories (PWB; SWB; EWB; FWB). The range of the scale is 0-108. Negatively worded items are reverse scored prior to summing so that higher subscale and total scores indicate better Quality of life (Qol).	Baseline, 4 to 6 weeks post-surgery with HIPEC
