Filter by:This clinical trial evaluates whether a prehabilitation program started at the time of neoadjuvant chemotherapy will affect surgical recovery in patients with stage IIIC-IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. A prehabilitation program may improve the quality of life after surgery for patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
This is a phase II, single arm, open-label, single-center study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Surufatinib combined with Toripalimab in patients with peritoneal metastatic carcinoma of gastrointestinal or primary peritoneal cancer.
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) results from the metastasis of a primary cancer of the peritoneum (e.g., appendiceal, ovarian, uterine, colorectal, and gastric cancers) that then disseminates throughout the abdominal cavity. Historically progression to PC was considered terminal and resulted in survival times on the scale of a few months with palliative care being the best option for patients. More recently, cytoreductive surgery (CS) has emerged as a means to prolong and improve patient lives with a median increase in survival of up to ~5 years. It has been reported that for every 10% increase in cytoreduction there is a 5.5% increase in median survival time. In addition to surgical tumor debulking within the peritoneal space, it has also been shown that coupling surgical intervention with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) can have an even greater impact on patient outcomes. Pegsitacianine, a micellar fluorescence agent, exploits the ubiquitous pH differences observed between cancerous and normal tissues. This in turn, provides a highly sensitive and specific fluorescence response after localizing within the tumor microenvironment, thus allowing the detection of primary tumors, their margins, metastatic disease, and tumor-containing lymph nodes.
This clinical trial collects biospecimen samples to create a personalized ctDNA test to guide treatment for patients with gastrointestinal cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is the material that carries all the information about how a living thing will work and function. Everyone is born with the same DNA in all our cells throughout our body. Sometimes, some of the cells in the body develop abnormalities in the DNA that cause those cells to grow abnormally and uncontrollably. Cancer occurs when there is abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells. The DNA in cancer cells is therefore different from the DNA someone is born with. The Signatera ctDNA assay is a laboratory test that takes tumor (cancer) tissue and evaluates it for unique tumor DNA. This evaluation is used to create a report (otherwise known as an assay) personalized to each person's cancer. The personalized assay creates a personalized blood test to detect the level of abnormal DNA from the cancer that may be circulating in the body. Once this personalized blood assay is designed, it may be used to monitor a person's blood for the presence of ctDNA, which will indicate the presence or absence of cancer over time, even after treatment.
Neutral argon plasma vaporization shows little damage to normal tissue and allows a complete removal of tumor tissue, that is, without leaving any cell debris viable tumor. Our primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of neutral argon plasma on peritoneal implants with different dosimetry in vivo and ex vivo.
Bowel obstruction is a common complication in patients with ovarian, peritoneal and bowel cancer due to a mass or spread of disease, causing narrowing to the gut, as these cancers can grow on the bowel surface. Certain foods may lead to symptoms such as pain, bloating, feeling full, feeling sick, vomiting and difficulty passing a bowel motion. There is limited evidence to establish the best diet to follow when someone is diagnosed with the risk of bowel obstruction and is experiencing symptoms after eating and drinking. The Dietitians at the Royal Surrey have developed a 4 stage bowel obstruction diet which they have been using with patients for 3 years. The 4 stages are clear fluids, all thin liquids, low fibre soft smooth diet, low fibre soft sloppy diet. Depending on the severity of symptoms and the risk of a blockage, patients are asked to follow a certain stage of the diet. They are advised to move up and down the stages as symptoms improve or get worse. This feasibility study aims to investigate if the diet can be used and is effective in clinical practice. The objectives are to see if this diet is easy to follow, can reduce symptoms of bowel obstruction, can improve quality of life, and reduce admissions to hospital because of bowel blockages. Patients at risk of bowel obstruction from colorectal or ovarian cancer are eligible to participate. They will remain in the study for a period of 4 weeks, during which time they will be asked to complete a diet diary and 3 questionnaires.
Pressurised intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy is a new surgical technique, developed for the treatment of initially unresectable peritoneal carcinomatosis. The objective of this study was to compare the results of PIPAC associated with systemic chemotherapy with those of systemic chemotherapy alone in patients with gastric peritoneal carcinomatosis without metastasis other than peritoneal, and WHO performance status <3.
Background: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) removes tumors in the abdomen. HIPEC is heated chemotherapy that washes the abdomen. CRS and HIPEC may help people with peritoneal carcinomatosis. These are tumors that have spread to the lining of the abdomen from other cancers. Researchers think they can improve results of CRS and HIPEC by choosing the chemotherapy drugs used in HIPEC. Objective: To see if HIPEC after CRS can be improved, by testing different chemotherapy drugs, using a model called the SMART (Sample Microenvironment of Resected Metastatic Tumor) System. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have peritoneal carcinomatosis that cannot be fully removed safely with surgery. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Computed tomography (CAT) scan Other imaging scans, as needed Electrocardiogram (EKG) Tumor biopsy, if needed Laparoscopy. Small cuts will be made in the abdomen. A tube with a light and a camera will be used to see their organs. Some screening tests will be repeated in the study. Participants will enroll in NIH protocol #13C0176. This allows their tumor samples to be used in future research. Participants will have CRS. As many of their visible tumors will be removed as possible. They will also have HIPEC. Two thin tubes will be put in their abdomen. They will get chemotherapy through one tube. It will be drained out through the other tube. They will be in the hospital for 7-21 days after surgery. Participants will give tumor, blood, and fluid samples for research. They will complete surveys about their health and quality of life. Participants will have follow-up visits over 5 years.
This phase II clinical trial studies the safety and effect of Gimatecan in patients with platinum-resistant recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer. The chemotherapy will be given every four weeks.This study is a single-arm, multi-center research design.
This is a multi-center, non-randomized, 3-cohort, phase II trial, evaluating a triplet combination of docetaxel, oxaliplatin and fluorouracil for gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis and inoperable malignant bowel obstruction.
