Filter by: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.
Objectives: - To determine intraperitoneal (IP) progression free survival after optimal debulking and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with cisplatin in patients with IP spread of adrenocortical cancer. - Determine morbidity of this procedure in this patient population. - Determine the impact of surgery and HIPEC on quality of life (QOL) and hormone excess. - Examine patterns of recurrence (local versus systemic). - Determine overall survival after optimal debulking and HIPEC in patients with IP spread of adrenocortical cancer.
The study will follow up patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal, ovarian, gastric, pancreatic cancers and primary peritoneal tumors and undergoing a diagnostic laparoscopy / laparotomy, a PIPAC as single dose or repeated every 6 weeks. The Overall Response Rate (ORR), the Overall Survival (OS) and the Quality of Life will be assessed before every PIPAC. Biopsies of the peritoneal carcinomatosis and blood (plasma and serum) are collected with every PIPAC intervention to follow up and to document the individual success or progress of the patients. The advice of the tumor board is mandatory to confirm the indication for local chemotherapy (PIPAC).
The purpose of this trial is to compare the morbidity and mortality of CRS-HIPEC using mitomycin-C versus melphalan for colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis. Morbidity and mortality will measured using the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) score, Common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE version 4.03), and the Clavien-Dindo Classification.
This is a Phase III, global, double-blind, 2-arm randomized study designed to compare the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab + paclitaxel + carboplatin + bevacizumab versus placebo + paclitaxel + carboplatin + bevacizumab. Study participants will have Stage 3 or 4 ovarian cancer (OC), fallopian tube cancer (FTC), or primary peritoneal cancer (PPC) with macroscopic residual disease postoperatively (i.e., after primary tumor reductive surgery) or who will undergo neoadjuvant therapy followed by interval surgery.
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.
The main purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of weekly intra-peritoneal administration of Cantrixil to women with persistent or recurrent ovarian cancer, Fallopian tube cancer or primary peritoneal cancer. The study also aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose of Cantrixil in these patients when administered as a monotherapy or a combination therapy.
This phase II trial studies how well heated mitomycin and cisplatin during surgery work in treating patients with stomach or gastroesophageal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as mitomycin and cisplatin, 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. Heating a chemotherapy solution and infusing it directly into the abdomen may kill more tumor cells.
This clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET) imaging utilizing 18F-FSPG [(S)-4-(3-[18F]Fluoropropyl)-L-glutamic acid], a glutamic acid derivative, to image patients with ovarian cancer before undergoing surgery or transplant. Diagnostic procedures, such as 18F-FSPG PET, may help find and diagnose ovarian cancer and find out how far the disease has spread.
