About this study

Intra Peritoneal Chemo Hyperthermia (IPCH) is a recently validated option for the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal or ovarian origin. This therapeutic program demonstrated a significant improvement of the late stages (i.e. carcinomatosis) of the disease. From a clinical point of view, within the first 24 hours after IPCH, patients undergo a systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and therefore require to be monitored in an intensive care unit. From a metabolic perspective, preliminary data have been shown a significant "anaerobic style" disturbance of energetic metabolism, suggesting a deep cellular energetic deficit throughout IPCH process.

Putative contradictory effects of IPCH, like the increase of chemotherapy-related cellular toxicity due to heat and on the other hand the initiation of a stress protein response (heat shock response) which helps to reduce the cell injuries, leads to conduct a research project on the underlying mechanisms: consequences, in terms of patient's care and follow-up, are of high relevance.

The primary goal is a multimodal assessment of the IPCH-related cell modifications: signaling pathways, apoptosis and antitumoral immune response.

The assessment criteria include Heat shock protein expression (blood/cell ratio) compared to baseline values, apoptosis and immune response before/after IPCH.

The scheduled sample size is 30 patients having an IPCH and 30 patients contraindicated per surgery.

Intra Peritoneal Chemo Hyperthermia (IPCH) is a recently validated option for the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal or ovarian origin. This therapeutic program demonstrated a significant improvement of the late stages (i.e. carcinomatosis) of the disease (survival median > 33 months). IPCH induces morbidity as high as 20% and mortality less than 4%. From a clinical point of view, within the first 24 hours after IPCH, patients undergo a systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and therefore require to be monitored in an intensive care unit. From a metabolic perspective, preliminary data have been shown a significant "anaerobic style" disturbance of energetic metabolism, suggesting a deep cellular energetic deficit throughout IPCH process.

Putative contradictory effects of IPCH, like the increase of chemotherapy-related cellular toxicity due to heat and on the other hand the initiation of a stress protein response (heat shock response) which helps to reduce the cell injuries, leads to conduct a research project on the underlying mechanisms: consequences, in terms of patient's care and follow-up, are of high relevance.

Heat shock protein expression (stress protein response markers) and apoptosis are the main chosen tools to evaluate IPCH-related cellular consequences.

Goals of the study Primary goal Multimodal assessment of the IPCH-related cell modifications: signaling pathways, apoptosis and antitumoral immune response.

Secondary goal Comparative study of Heat shock protein expression, whether IPCH is done or the patient is recused for the surgery due to intraoperative contraindication.

Method Prospective cohort follow up Procedure

Besides the usual care (surgical debulking and extensive tumoral resection after laparotomy under general anesthesia), the research protocol includes :

  • 7 blood samples over 72 hours (meaning less than 40 ml), including 4 samples under general anesthesia throughout surgery and 3 samples during the 3 following days (at 24th, 48th and 72th hours).
  • 6 tissue biopsies, i.e. 2 from peritoneum disease-free and 2 from invaded peritoneum , each representing a volume less than 1 cm3 and 2 biopsies from healthy colonic tissue for the colon-related cancer and 4 biopsies (peritoneum n=2, tumoral tissue n=2) for ovarian-related cancer. All biopsies are done during the surgery under general anesthesia, and each biopsy per site before/after IPCH.

Assessment criteria

  • main criteria : Heat shock protein expression (blood/cell ratio) compared to baseline values.
  • associate criteria : apoptosis and immune response before/after IPCH Statistical method/Sample size/Study's lenght Scheduled sample size is 30 patients having an IPCH and 30 patients contraindicated per surgery.

The normal distribution is verified using the d'Agostino-Pearson test. For intragroup comparisons, the repeated measures ANOVA is done. For intergroup comparisons, an univariate analysis is done, using the Student t-test and the Fisher exact test.

Taking into account the planned sample size and the annual number of IPCH, the scheduled length of the study is 18 months.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

    surgical debulking and extensive tumoral resection after laparotomy under general anesthesia

    • 7 blood samples over 72 hours, including 4 samples under general anesthesia throughout surgery and 3 samples during the 3 following days (at 24th, 48th and 72th hours).
    • 6 tissue biopsies, i.e. 2 from peritoneum disease-free and 2 from invaded peritoneum , each representing a volume less than 1 cm3 and 2 biopsies from healthy colonic tissue for the colon-related cancer and 4 biopsies (peritoneum n=2, tumoral tissue n=2) for ovarian-related cancer.

  • Without surgery and without IPCHProcedure or surgery

    The patients is opened and recused during the surgery because of extended carcinosis and closed without resection neither IPCH.

    • 7 blood samples over 72 hours, including 4 samples under general anesthesia throughout surgery (2 hours before IPCH, 1.5hours after IPCH, 4 hours after IPCH) and 3 samples during the 3 following days (at 24th, 48th and 72th hours).

What is being measured

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

  1. heat shock protein expression (blood/cell ratio)compared to baseline values

    • 7 blood samples over 72 hours (meaning less than 40 ml), including 4 samples under general anesthesia throughout surgery and 3 samples during the 3 following days (at 24th, 48th and 72th hours).
    • 6 tissue biopsies, i.e. 2 from peritoneum disease-free and 2 from invaded peritoneum , each representing a volume less than 1 cm3 and 2 biopsies from healthy colonic tissue for the colon-related cancer and 4 biopsies (peritoneum n=2, tumoral tissue n=2) for ovarian-related cancer. All biopsies are done during the surgery under general anesthesia, and each biopsy per site before/after IPCH.

    Measured: samples taken under general anesthesia throughout surgery and during the 3 following days (24h, 48h,72h)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Surgery with IPCH and Without surgery and without IPCH in people with Peritoneal Carcinomatosis From Colorectal or Ovarian Origin, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 1 site in France.

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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 2015. 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 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. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

heat shock protein expression (blood/cell ratio)compared to baseline values (time frame: samples taken under general anesthesia throughout surgery and during the 3 following days (24h, 48h,72h)). 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 19 Oct 2015.
