Filter by:Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is the stage III of the FIGO ovarian cancer staging. It corresponds to an advanced stage with a relative 5 year survival rate of 52%. The multimodal treatment approach combines neoadjuvant chemotherapy, cytoreductive surgery of macroscopic lesions, and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). It has significantly improved survival rate in patients with ovarian PC and decreased recurrence and mortality rate by 21%. The efficacy of HIPEC is based on chemotherapy potentiated by the hyperthermia (43°). However, the cellular mechanisms involved are not fully understood, but they include cell death pathways and heat shock proteins (Hsp70 and Hsp90). RICCI et al. showed, based on pre-clinical models, that the efficacy of HIPEC was partly due to the overexpression and exposure of HSP90 on the cell surface leaded to an anti-cancer immune response. The aims of this study are to validate these findings in tissue samples of patients with ovarian PC. We will constitute a bank of isolated tumor samples before and after HIPEC and measure postoperative HSP90 serum levels in order to establish if they are predictive of a response. HSPs expression on the cancer cell surface will be determined by flow cytometry. Forty-four patients will be included. Elucidating the underlying mechanisms of HIPEC will broaden therapeutic possibilities including the use of new immunotherapy. The multimodal approach could improve the efficacy of HIPEC with a minimal systemic toxicity.
The digestive cancer is the second cause of death worldwide. The presence of peritoneal carcinomatosis is common in the evolution of this type of cancer, as well as increased levels of ACE. This peritoneal carcinomatosis is often underestimated, this being due to low sensitivity detection means. In recent years, it has been shown that peritoneal carcinomatosis surgery as complete as possible associated with an intraperitoneal chemotherapy gave better results but still failures associated with the presence of microscopic residual tumors. The use of SGM -101 (developped by SURGIMAB SAS) allows surgeons to detect tumor nodules of small size very easily, in real-time, during surgery (shown in animals).
The purpose of this study is to determine if GL-ONC1 oncolytic immunotherapy is well tolerated with anti-tumor activity in patients diagnosed with recurrent or refractory ovarian cancer and peritoneal carcinomatosis.
This is a multicentre, open-label, parallel-group, phase II-III, superiority study that randomises patients with isolated resectable colorectal peritoneal metastases in a 1:1 ratio to receive either perioperative systemic therapy and cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC (experimental arm) or upfront cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC alone (control arm).
A randomized controlled single-blind clinical trial was performed, in 32 patients diagnosed with peritoneal carcinomatosis from epithelial ovarian cancer, who underwent radical surgery-peritonectomy, achieving an optimal R0-R1 cytoreduction (microscopic tumor residues (R0) or macroscopic tumor residues < 1cm (R1)) followed by hyperthermia against normothermia intraperitoneal intraoperative chemotherapy with paclitaxel
Single center, open label, phase I-II, non-randomized, two-cohort, repeated single dose study to explore the feasibility, efficacy, safety, and Overall Response Rate (ORR) of oxaliplatin, or cisplatin and doxorubicin when given as a pressurized intraperitoneal chemotherapy (PIPAC) to patients (men and women) with peritoneal carcinomatosis from ovarian, gastric and colorectal cancers and in primary cancers of peritoneum.
This is a feasibility study that aims to evaluate whether PIPAC (Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy) is a safe and feasible treatment in Danish patients with peritoneal cancer.
Multicentric randomised trial. The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) will help to decrease the rate of peritoneal carcinomatosis(PC) in patients with high risk of developing PC of colorectal cancer. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
This trial is to determine the safest dose of a triple combination (chemokine modulatory regimen or CKM) of celecoxib, interferon alfa (IFN), and rintatolimod that can be given with a DC vaccine as treatment of peritoneal surface malignancies after standard of care surgery. The first phase of this study will determine the safest dose of IFN that can be given in combination with celecoxib and rintatolimod along with a DC vaccine. The doses of celecoxib (400 mg) and rintatolimod (200 mg) will be consistent while the dose of IFN will be increased (5, 10, or 20 MU/m2) as participants are enrolled to the trial. The high dose of IFN in combination with celecoxib and rintatolimod will be used for the next phase of the clinical trial. After surgery, participants will receive 2 cycles of the investigational treatment. The second phase of this study will test if the investigational treatment has any effects on peritoneal surface malignancies. The doses of the combination determined in the first phase will be used in this phase of the clinical trial. After surgery, participants will receive 2 cycles of the investigational treatment, followed by standard chemotherapy as determined by their oncologist, and then 2 more cycles of the investigational treatment.
This is a clinical study investigating the new treatment of surgery combined with intraperitoneal mitomycin-C for patients with gastrointestinal cancer that has spread to the peritoneal (abdominal cavity) surface. Mitomycin-C to be used in this procedure is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)for many different cancers including gastrointestinal cancer. Giving mitomycin C via the intraperitoneal route is not FDA approved and is an investigation therapy. Cytoreductive surgery plus intraperitoneal chemotherapy can be offered as standard of care outside of a clinical trial. However, since this is an unproven and potentially more effective but a more toxic approach, the investigators are performing this procedure under an IRB approved clinical trial in order to better evaluate the risks and benefits of this approach. A standardized, evidence-based approach is currently lacking for patients with peritoneal surface malignancy from gastrointestinal origin. A clinical trial with surgical quality assurance and modern hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy incorporating critical assessment of disease burden, determinants of complete cytoreduction, treatment-related toxicity, quality of life and survival is imperative. Theoretically, cytoreductive surgery is performed to treat macroscopic disease, and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy is used to treat microscopic residual disease with the objective of removing disease completely in a single procedure.
