About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Intravenous and Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Plus Abdominal Hyperthermia to Treat Optimally Debulked and Recurrent Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, and Primary Peritoneal Cancers

This is a pilot study aimed to test the feasibility and safety of administering combination chemotherapy with paclitaxel (both intravenously and intraperitoneally) and cisplatin (intraperitoneally) plus whole abdominal hyperthermia every 3 weeks in the treatment of optimally debulked, advanced or recurrent ovarian, primary peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

Day 1 of each 21 day Cycle:

Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV (infused over 3 hours)

Day 1 or 2 of each Cycle Adequate IV hydration with normal saline (1000 ml recommended)followed by intraperitoneal infusion of 500 ml normal saline through the IP port.

Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 reconstituted in 500 ml NS warmed to 37 degrees Celsius is infused IP (30 minute infusion)followed immediately by whole abdominal hyperthermia

Abdominal hyperthermia will be delivered using the BSD 2000 ellipse system to target temperatures of 40-42 degrees Celsius monitored via rectally and vaginally continuing for no greater than 60 minutes after maximal 30 minute warm-up phase. Total duration of hyperthermia will be no greater than 90 minutes.

Day 8:

Paclitaxel 60 mg/m2 IP. Paclitaxel will be diluted and filtered initially in 1000 ml of normal saline or D5W warmed to 37 degrees Celsius. For IP administration, the patient must receive an additional 1000 ml of normal saline degrees Celsius in the peritoneal cavity.

Cycles will be repeated every 3 weeks x 6 cycles. Patients will be followed until disease progression/recurrence or death.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hyperthermia in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by Mark Dewhirst.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Toxicity (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 11 Nov 2014.
