About this study

Official title: Phase III Study Evaluating the Use of Systemic Chemotherapy and Chemohyperthemia Intraperitoneal Preoperatively (CHIP) and After Maximum Resection of Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Originating With Colorectal Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as leucovorin, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether systemic chemotherapy is more effective with or without intraperitoneal chemohyperthermia in treating patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying systemic chemotherapy to see how well it works compared with or without intraperitoneal chemohyperthermia in treating patients undergoing surgery for peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare overall survival of patients with peritoneal carcinoma of colorectal origin undergoing complete surgical resection and receiving systemic chemotherapy with versus without intraperitoneal chemohyperthermia.

Secondary

  • Evaluate recurrence-free survival of these patients.
  • Evaluate treatment toxicities.
  • Determine morbidity from surgical complications.
  • Determine prognostic factors of survival.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to participating center, residual tumor status (R0/R1 vs R2 ≤ 1 mm), prior regimens of systemic chemotherapy (first vs ≥ second), and preoperative systemic chemotherapy for metastatic disease (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

All patients undergo maximal surgical resection of the tumor.

  • Arm I: Patients receive standard systemic chemotherapy comprising leucovorin calcium IV followed by fluorouracil IV over 30 minutes. Systemic chemotherapy will continue for at least 6 months (before and/or after surgery). Patients must stop systemic chemotherapy at least 1 month before receiving intraperitoneal chemohyperthermia (CHIP). If bevacizumab is given as neoadjuvant therapy, then systemic chemotherapy must be discontinued 6 weeks before beginning CHIP. Patients undergo CHIP comprising oxaliplatin intraperitoneally during surgery and hyperthermia for 30 minutes.
  • Arm II: Patients undergo surgery and receive standard systemic chemotherapy comprising leucovorin calcium IV followed by fluorouracil IV over 30 minutes. Systemic chemotherapy will continue for at least 6 months (before and after surgery).

Tumor markers (ACE and CA 19-9) are assessed at baseline, at 1 month after surgery, and then at follow-up visits.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed at 1 and 3 months, every 3 months for 3 years, and then every 6 months for 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium and oxaliplatin in people with Colorectal Cancer and Primary Peritoneal Cavity Cancer, run by UNICANCER at 20 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall survival (time frame: until 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00769405, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Aug 2016.
