About this study

Official title: Feasibility, Efficacy and Safety of Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) With Cisplatin in Women With Recurrent Ovarian Cancer: an Open-label, Single-arm Phase I-II Clinical Trial

Patients with first recurrent resistance ovarian cancer and disease progression with peritoneal carcinomatosis will undergo PIPAC procedure. The primary end point is to determine the clinical benefit rate (CBR) of a pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy with a combination of cisplatin and doxorubicin.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of PIPAC using cisplatin and doxorubicin in women with first recurrent resistance ovarian cancer and disease progression with peritoneal carcinomatosis. The primary objective of this study is to determine the Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) according to RECIST/GCOG criteria after three cycles of PIPAC with PIPAC cisplatin and doxorubicin

Being tested
Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy with cisplatin and doxorubicin

What participants receive

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

  • Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy with cisplatin and doxorubicinDevice

    Also called PIPAC

    After insufflation of a 12 mmHg of capnoperitoneum at 37 °C, two balloon trocars will be placed. Parietal biopsies will be taken and ascites (< 500cc) will be removed. A nebulizer will be connected to a high-pressure injector and will be inserted into the abdomen through a trocar. A pressurized aerosol containing cisplatin at a dose of 10.5 mg/m2 body surface in 150 ml NaCl 0.9 % followed by doxorubicin at a dose of 2.1 mg/m2 body surface in a 50 ml NaCl 0.9% solution will be applied via a nebulizer immediately. Then, the system will be kept in steady-state for 30 min (i.e.: application time).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PIPACExperimentalPIPAC stands for Pressurized IntraPeritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapies. Enrolled patients will undergo to explorative laparoscopy as usual and PC index will be determined according to Fagotti score (PIV). Pathological response will be determined by serial peritoneal biopsies. Then a pressurized aerosol containing cisplatin followed by doxorubicin will be applied via a nebulizer. The PIPAC procedure can be repeated after 4-6 weeks until progression or limiting toxicity
Receives: Device: Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy with cisplatin and doxorubicin

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) according to RECIST/GCOG criteria after three cycles of PIPAC with PIPAC cisplatin and doxorubicin

    Evaluation of target lesions will be done as follows:

    • Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm.
    • Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
    • Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase

    Measured: 12-18 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The median time to progression according to RECIST criteria after three cycles of PIPAC with cisplatin

    From the last chemotherapy cycle to the first clinical-radiological signs of disease relapse

    Measured: 1 Year

  2. Fagotti score, as assessed by laparoscopy

    Measured: 1 Year

  3. The degree of histological regression assessed by pathological review of repeated peritoneal biopsies

    Measured: 1 Year

  4. The proportion of women with a reduction of serum CA-125 of at least 50% after PIPAC

    Measured: 1 Year

  5. Evaluation of the Quality Of Life (QOL) on the basis of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QOL questionnaires

    Quality of life will be assess using the EORTC quality of life questionnaire core-36 (QLQC-30) and the ovarian cancer-specific quality of life questionnaire (QLQ-Ov28).These will be complete before and after the first, second, and third PIPAC applications

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy with cisplatin and doxorubicin in people with Ovarian Epithelial Cancer Recurrent and Platinum-resistant, run by Catholic University of the Sacred Heart at 1 site in Italy.

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 10 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 Nov 2023. 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 Italy. 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.

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?

Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) according to RECIST/GCOG criteria after three cycles of PIPAC with PIPAC cisplatin and doxorubicin (time frame: 12-18 weeks). 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 NCT02735928, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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?
