About this study

Official title: Phase II Study Comparing Normothermic Versus Hyperthermic Intraoperative Chemoperfusion With Oxaliplatin in Patients With Peritoneal Metastases From Appendiceal or Colon Cancer

Peritoneal carcinomatosis from appendix or colon (large bowel) cancer is treated in suitable patients with surgery followed by instillation of heated chemotherapy inside the abdominal cavity. This procedure is termed 'Hyperthermic intraoperative Peritoneal Chemoperfusion' or HIPEC. Many center perform HIPEC with high dose oxaliplatin, a standard chemotherapy drug active against colon cancer, administered during 30 minutes at 41°C. The hypothesis of this study is, that chemoperfusion at normal (37.5°C) temperature but longer duration (90 minutes) may be safer and at least as efficient. Patients will be treated with one of three possible HIPEC regimens using oxaliplatin: high dose, 30 min, 41°C; high dose, 30 min, 37.5°C; or low dose, 90 min, 37.5°C. The outcome parameters are pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic: using specialized techniques, tissue penetration of chemotherapy and cancer cell kill effects will be compared in order to establish the safest and most active HIPEC regimen.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Morbidity

    Scoring of postoperative morbidity according to the Dindo-Clavien system

    Measured: Until discharge or within 30 days

  2. Mortality

    The number of deaths will be recorded.

    Measured: Until discharge or within 30 days

  3. Area under the perfusate concentration versus time curve (AUC) of platinum

    Measurements of platinum in perfusate samples on the high dose interventions.

    Measured: Before addition of chemotherapy, at 10, 20 and 30 minutes after addition of chemotherapy

  4. Area under the perfusate concentration versus time curve (AUC) of platinum

    Measurements of platinum in perfusate samples on the low dose intervention.

    Measured: Before addition of chemotherapy, at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 minutes after addition of chemotherapy

  5. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of platinum

    Measurements of platinum in perfusate samples on the high dose interventions.

    Measured: Before addition of chemotherapy, at 10, 20, 30,45, 60, 90 minutes and 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24 hours after addition of chemotherapy

  6. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of platinum

    Measurements of platinum in plasma samples on the low dose intervention.

    Measured: Before addition of chemotherapy, at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 minutes and 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24 hours after addition of chemotherapy

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Tissue Concentration (Cmax) of Platinum

    Platinum concentration will be measured after removal of perfusate.

    Measured: after 30 or 90 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Hyperthermic intraoperative Peritoneal Chemoperfusion in people with Peritoneal Carcinomatosis, run by University Hospital, Ghent at 1 site in Belgium.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Morbidity (time frame: Until discharge or within 30 days). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Dec 2022.
