Study groups in NCT02739698
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
normothermic (36-37ºC)ExperimentalGroup 1, n=16(normothermic): Intraperitoneal administration of 60 mg/m2 paclitaxel per 2 liters of 1.5% dextrose in room temperature (36-37ºC).
Receives: Drug: Paclitaxel; Procedure: Radical surgery-peritonectomy
hyperthermic (41-42ºC)ExperimentalGroup 2, n=16 (hyperthermic): Intraperitoneal administration of 60 mg/m2 paclitaxel per 2 liters of 1.5% dextrose in continuous hyperthermic perfusion (41-42ºC).
Receives: Drug: Paclitaxel; Procedure: Radical surgery-peritonectomy

What is being measured

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

  1. The Grouped Miller and Payne (MP) System for Pathological Response: G1 (Minimal Changes and < 30% Cells Tumour Reduction That Includes MP G1-G2), G3 (Microscopic Foci, Cells Tumour Reduction up to >90% That Includes MP G3-G4) and G5 (no Residual Tumour)

    Histopathology scoring system to assess response, previous and post intraperitoneal intraoperative chemotherapy. Compare cancer cellularity of the biopsy (before treatment) with the other biopsy (after treatment).

    Measured: The biopsies were taken before and after the treatment (intraperitoneal intraoperative chemotherapy for 60 minutes) and then they were analysed by two blinded pathologists.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Paclitaxel and Radical surgery-peritonectomy in people with Peritoneal Carcinomatosis, run by Maimónides Biomedical Research Institute of Córdoba.

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 5 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 1 Aug 2017. 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Aug 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

The Grouped Miller and Payne (MP) System for Pathological Response: G1 (Minimal Changes and < 30% Cells Tumour Reduction That Includes MP G1-G2), G3 (Microscopic Foci, Cells Tumour Reduction up to >90% That Includes MP G3-G4) and G5 (no Residual Tumour) (time frame: The biopsies were taken before and after the treatment (intraperitoneal intraoperative chemotherapy for 60 minutes) and then they were analysed by two blinded pathologists.). 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 NCT02739698, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Aug 2017.
