About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial With Escalating Doses of Oxaliplatin and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) in Children and Adolescents With Extensive Colon Carcinoma

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerated dose of heated intra-abdominal oxaliplatin that can be given to patients with colon cancer. Researchers also want to learn more about the ways that pediatric and young adult colon cancer may be different from colon cancer in adults.

Read the detailed description

Surgery and Study Drug Administration:

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, abdominal surgery will be performed to try to remove as many tumors as possible. The abdominal surgery is not being performed specifically for this research study and would be performed even if you did not take part in this study. You will be given a separate consent form to sign that explains the details and risks of surgery in more detail.

During surgery, the abdomen will be temporarily closed. Then the abdominal wash will begin. During the "abdominal wash," heated oxaliplatin will be delivered through plastic tubing that is connected to a pump into the abdomen. The pump pushes the heated oxaliplatin into the abdomen and then pulls it out and recirculates the oxaliplatin. The skin of the abdomen is temporarily closed during the abdominal wash. The surgeon will also "wash" over the closed area of the surgical site. A pump will be used to pump heated oxaliplatin in and out of the abdomen over 90 minutes while the surgeon gently presses on the abdominal wall so the oxaliplatin reaches all areas in the abdomen. After 90 minutes, the oxaliplatin is removed and the abdomen will be "washed" with saline and all fluid will be removed before the surgeon permanently closes the abdomen with 3 layers of stitches.

Two (2) pea-sized tissue samples (tumor and normal abdominal tissue), 2 tablespoons of blood will be sent to the laboratory of Dr. Scott Kopetz for tissue evaluation and extraction of RNA (genetic material). One (1) tumor sample will be removed before the procedure and the other sample will be removed at the end of the procedure. The samples will be examined under a microscope and DNA (the genetic material in cells) will be removed to look for any changes to the DNA. The results of these tests will not be shared with you, nor will they be used for any decisions regarding your treatment.

There is a chance that the surgeon may decide during the surgery that the abdominal wash will not be performed, for example if the disease has spread to or attached to certain organs. If this occurs, your doctor will discuss other treatment options with you.

Study Visits:

On Day 1 after surgery:

  • Blood (about 1 teaspoon) will be drawn for routine tests.
  • You will have a physical exam.

On Days 2-5, 11, 14, and 30 after surgery:

  • Blood (about 1-3 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
  • You will have a physical exam.
  • On Day 30 only, you will have a hearing test.

If the doctor thinks it is needed, you will also have follow up visits at 3 and 6 months after surgery. If these visits occur here at MD Anderson, you will not have a hearing test, but you will have an MRI, CT, or PET-CT scan to check the status of the disease. The 3 and 6 month visits following surgery may be performed at your local doctor's office and/or laboratory.

Length of Study:

You will remain on study for up to 6 months. You will be taken off study if the disease gets worse.

If the study doctor learns that the disease has come back or gotten worse at the 6 month follow-up visit, you may be eligible for a re-perfusion, which is a repeat of the surgery and study drug administration. If you are eligible for a re-perfusion, your participation on this study will end and you will be given a new consent form to sign in order to be re-enrolled back onto this study.

This is an investigational study. Oxaliplatin is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of advanced bladder cancer, metastatic testicular cancer, metastatic ovarian cancer, hepatoblastoma, neuroblastoma, metastatic appendiceal cancer, and abdominal mesothelioma. The use of heated oxaliplatin given intra-abdominally in pediatric patients with colon cancer is investigational. The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work.

Up to 30 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal ChemotherapyExperimentalAfter cytoreductive surgery and lysis of adhesions, two large bore catheters are placed in the peritoneal cavity through the incision. Thirty minutes before HIPEC is begun, body temperature is cooled to 35°C. ). The catheters are connected to a perfusion circuit. Heated Oxaliplatin is added to the perfusate administered over 90 minutes. The starting dose of Oxaliplatin is 175 mg/m2.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerate Dose (MTD) of Oxaliplatin in Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

    MTD is highest dose in which 1 or fewer patients in 6 treated experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). DLT may occur at any time during the initial hospitalization before discharge following the hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HITC). DLT defined in two ways: Hematologic DLT defined as Grade IV neutropenia, anemia, or thrombocytopenia; and Non-hematologic DLT is any Grade III or IV non-hematologic toxicity excluding Grade III nausea or vomiting, Grade III hepatic toxicity which returns to Grade I within two weeks of the HITC, or before hospital discharge, or Grade III fever occurring after the HITC.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Differences in Genetic Aberrations in Pediatric Colon Cancer Patients and Adult Patients

    Descriptive statistics on genetic aberrations provided, either by tabulations of frequencies or summary statistics including numbers, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum, when appropriate.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Oxaliplatin in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 4 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 19 Jul 2018. 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 United States. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Maximum Tolerate Dose (MTD) of Oxaliplatin in Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (time frame: 3 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 19 Jul 2018.
