Filter by:The goal of this prospective phase 2 study is to assess the efficacy and safety of intestinal or multivisceral transplantation for participants with PMP not amenable to other curative-intent treatments. Participants will undergo intestinal/multivisceral transplantation. Participants will be followed for 12 months to assess efficacy and safety.
Mitomycin-C (MMC) is the most commonly used chemotherapeutic agent for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) to treat colorectal cancer patients with peritoneal metastases. However, MMC has a side effect of myelosuppression. Particularly, severe neutropenia after CRS with HIPEC can be a life-threatening condition. Despite the postoperative risks of this side effect, the causes and risk factors for severe neutropenia after CRS followed by HIPEC is not identified so far. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to evaluate to evaluate clinical risk factors and pharmacologic properties after CRS with HIPEC using MMC in patients with colorectal cancer or appendiceal mucinous neoplasms with peritoneal metastases.
This is a phase II, mono institutional, non comparative study, evaluating adjuvant capecitabine in patients affected by KRAS mutated Pseudomyxoma peritonei treated with cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC. Patient will be treated with 8 cycles of the study regimen that include: Capecitabine 1250 mg/m2 PO BID day 1-14 q21 days
This trial pursues studying a compassionate treatment option for patients with inoperable pseudomyxoma peritonei through percutaneous administration of bromelain + N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in order to decrease tumoral volume. Secondary endpoints are the decrease of ascites, compressive symptoms and pain through the dilution of mucins, which would better intestinal blockage.
This trial will look at a drug called SGN-STNV to find out whether it is safe for patients with solid tumors. It will study SGN-STNV to find out what its side effects are. A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer. It will also study how well SGN-STNV works to treat solid tumors. The study will have two parts. Part A of the study will find out how much SGN-STNV should be given to patients. Part B will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe SGN-STNV is and if it works to treat certain types of solid tumors.
Complete cytoreductive surgery (CCRS) is an extensive, and potentially curative, procedure utilised for peritoneal malignancies including Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). This study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the lived experience of recovery following CCRS over time, with the view to inform future supportive measures for CCRS patients in particular. This study also provides the opportunity to longitudinally examine patient perceptions of 'recovery' in the context of major illness and/or treatment; i.e. what it is to experience recovery, what is important during recovery, perhaps how this changes over time, and what it is to be 'recovered', if this is possible. A greater understanding of the term may have implications in how it is used, or how patients following major illness are approached by healthcare professionals. Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) will be utilised as the guiding methodology in order to answer the study objectives. Potential participants will be approached by the clinical nurse specialist (CNS) involved in the patient's care, and will be offered a 'research study pack', containing a participant information sheet (PIS). A maximum of ten consenting participants will be interviewed on up to six occasions (although only five are planned) across a timeframe of little more than a year, both before and after their surgery. Interviews may take place face-to-face, or via telephone. Data analysis will involve a cyclical process of identifying patterns within the interview transcripts of each participant at each time point, across time points, and between participants. This design will provide an effective means of gathering and analysing rich data from each participant, thus affording a comprehensive insight into the meanings that participants attribute over time to their recovery following CCRS. This study has been devised in partial fulfilment of a doctorate degree at the University of Southampton.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of intraperitoneal administration of heated nanoliposomal Irinotecan in cytoreductive surgery (CRS), which is surgery designed to remove as much of the cancer as possible, and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) procedures.
The investigator proposes to use the cardiac coherence technique to diminish anxiety before the surgery of a peritoneal carcinosis of colon or stomach or ovary and pseudomyxoma or peritoneal mesothelioma.
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is an orphan disease, characterized by the progressive accumulation of jelly-like material within the abdomen, which occurs in approximately 2-3 people per million per year. Advanced disease is often the result of tumour perforation and seeding of tumour cells within the peritoneal cavity. Complete cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CCRS HIPEC) is the current standard of care for PMP. An Australian pharmaceutical company is developing BromAc for diseases involving mucin. This drug is composed of Bromelain and Acetylcysteine. During pre-clinical development, the sponsor found that BromAc rapidly dissolved and removed tumour mucin, making it a potent mucolytic. BromAc in combination have the ability, as shown in pre-clinical studies, to remove the mucin protective framework expressed by cancer including mucin (MUC) 1, MUC2, MUC4, MUC5AC and MUC16. The sponsor has shown the mechanism of action of BromAc - to break peptide and glycosidic linkages and disulphide bonds in tumour produced and respiratory mucin. BromAc has been safe in preclinical development with a manageable adverse event profile and preliminary efficacy in a phase 1 study. This current study will examine the efficacy and safety of applying BromAc directly into recurrent mucinous tumour deposits in patients that are found to be unsuitable for repeat curative intent intervention by CCRS HIPEC.
