Filter by:Peritoneal disease at initial presentation for patients with gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) is frequent, with 15-31% of patients presenting with peritoneal metastases (PM) at surgical exploration. The prognosis of patients with PM is poor, overall survival (OS) ranging from 8 to 13 months, reinforcing the importance of optimal patient selection before surgical management of GA. Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence imaging for intraoperative detection of PM has been described in recent literature as a useful tool in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for peritoneal malignancies to increase the detection of PM during surgery. However, the role of ICG for patients with GA, and its role during diagnosic laparoscopy (DL), remain unknown.
To assess the efficacy of pasireotide in the reduction of clinically relevant postoperative digestive leakage after CRS plus HIPEC compared to placebo
The study will be a randomized trial that will compare two techniques of abdominal paracentesis in patients with suspected peritoneal carcinomatosis. The patients will undergo abdominal paracentesis by the standard technique and a rollover technique. In the standard technique, the patients will lie flat for 10 minutes and abdominal paracentesis will be taken for ascitic fluid cytology. In the rollover group, patients with suspected peritoneal carcinomatosis will be rolled over thrice laterally on each side by 90 degrees and sample will then be obtained for ascitic fluid cytology. both the samples will be processed by blinded cytopathologist for tumour cellularity and diagnostic yield.
This study is a prospective, multi-center, open-label phase I trial designed to determine the maximun tolerated dose of IP oxaliplatin when given in combination with mFOLFIRI.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of SCB-313 in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosisa, to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or extended study recommended dose (RDE) for SCB-313 intraperitoneal injection, providing a basis for dosing regimen and dose choosing in clinical trial subsequently.
Rationale: For patients with peritoneal metastases of gastric origin, there is no consensus on the optimal treatment strategy. Several Asian and Western studies demonstrated hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and cytoreductive surgery (CS) to result in a prolonged survival compared to palliative systemic treatment. Morbidity and mortality rates of HIPEC and CS appear to be acceptable. In the Netherlands, this treatment is not yet introduced, therefore patients with peritoneal metastases of gastric origin are precluded from surgery and will be treated with palliative chemotherapy or best support of care. Objective: To assess the safety and feasibility of HIPEC and CS in Western patients with peritoneal metastases of gastric cancer, in terms of morbidity and mortality. Secondary objective is to determine the effect on survival and recurrence. Study design: Mono centre prospective phase II single-arm feasibility study. Study population: Western patients diagnosed with resectable (cT1-4b, N1-3) gastric cancer with clinical or pathologically proven peritoneal metastases without distant metastases. Intervention: Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) and Cytoreductive Surgery (CS) with Cisplatin. Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary outcome is the safety and feasibility of the intervention, measured by the percentage of overall surgical complications grade ≥3 as stated by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Secondary outcomes are intraoperative events, postoperative morbidity and mortality, postoperative recovery, including quality of life, and disease free- and overall survival. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The additional burden for the patient mainly consists of HIPEC and CS.Furthermore, patients will undergo additional staging in order to exclude unresectable disease, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen (3 drugs) instead of a palliative chemotherapy regimen (2 drugs). Postoperative care and outpatient visits are performed according to current protocols on HIPEC and CS for colon cancer and nation-wide protocols on gastric cancer surgery. The study is associated with a high risk classification. As there is a potential survival benefit, a small chance for curation and possibly a higher quality of life, we consider the additional burden and risks justified. This study is designed as a one group study, which eliminates group relatedness.
This phase II trial studies how well pUMVC3-IGFBP2 plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) vaccine (IGFBP-2 vaccine) and combination chemotherapy work in treating patients with stage III-IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer undergoing surgery. IGFBP-2 is a protein found in the blood and tumor cells of most who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Too much IGFBP-2 has been associated with more invasive disease. Vaccines made from DNA may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells that express IGFBP-2. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving IGFBP-2 vaccine and combination chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with stage III-IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer undergoing surgery.
Ovarian cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in women. Monocytes are white blood cells that slow tumor growth. Interferons (IFNs) are molecules that help immune cells fight cancer. Researchers want to stimulate monocytes with IFNs. They want to test if these stimulated monocytes combined with the drugs Sylatron and Actimmune can shrink tumors and slow the progression of cancer. Objective: To test how well IFN stimulated monocytes, with Sylatron and Actimmune, kill tumor cells. Eligibility: Women ages 18 and older with certain ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancers Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Scan Results or sample from previous biopsy Participants may have a tumor sample taken. Participants who do not have a port will have a catheter placed inside the abdominal cavity. It will be used to give the treatment. Participants will have visits for 4 days of each 28-day cycle. This includes overnight observation. Participants with ascites fluid in their abdominal cavity will have it sampled twice. Each cycle, participants will have: Blood tests Leukapheresis. Some blood is removed and put through a machine that separates out the monocytes. The rest of the blood is returned to the body. Infusion of the monocytes and study drugs Participants will have weekly phone calls in Cycle 1 and scans every 2 cycles. Participants will continue treatment until they can no longer tolerate it or their cancer gets worse. Participants will have a visit about 1 month after stopping treatment, then monthly phone calls.
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.
This 2-part, Phase 1/2 study will test investigational cancer drugs known as CRS-207, epacadostat (IDO), and pembrolizumab (pembro). The purpose of this study is to find out how safe it is to give the investigational drugs to women with platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer and if it helps patients with these types of cancer live longer or can help shrink or slow the growth of cancer.
