About this study

Official title: Phase I Trial of Intraperitoneal Oxaliplatin in Combination With Intravenous FOLFIRI (5-fluorouracil, Leucovorin and Irinotecan) for Peritoneal Carcinomatosis From Colorectal and Appendiceal Cancer

This is a Phase I dose escalation study to determine how much chemotherapy can be safely administered into the abdomen while experiencing the fewest possible side effects.

Read the detailed description

There are two common combinations of chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer of the colon, rectum, or appendix that has spread to the abdomen. One uses 5-fluorouracil (also called 5-FU), leucovorin and oxaliplatin, and is called FOLFOX. The other uses 5-FU, leucovorin, and irinotecan, and is called FOLFIRI. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved each of these combinations as treatment for colon or rectal cancer. Each is given through the veins.

FOLFOX and FOLFIRI do not work well for tumors growing in the abdominal cavity. The investigators are trying to determine if giving chemotherapy called oxaliplatin directly into the abdominal cavity will have a greater effect on the cancer.

The FDA has approved oxaliplatin to be given to people through their veins to treat advanced colorectal cancer. Giving oxaliplatin directly into the abdomen in this study is experimental and is not approved by the FDA. This study will give the standard chemotherapy FOLFIRI through the veins and oxaliplatin directly into the abdomen. This is the first time intraperitoneal oxaliplatin is being given in combination with FOLFIRI.

Being tested
Oxaliplatin

What participants receive

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

  • OxaliplatinDrug

    Intraperitoneal oxaliplatin will be given along with standard chemotherapy FOLFIRI.

    Level 1: Oxaliplatin 25mg/m2 IP every 2 weeks on day #1 of chemotherapy . Level 2: Oxaliplatin 55mg/m2 IP every 2 weeks on day #1 of chemotherapy Level 3: Oxaliplatin 85mg/m2 IP every 2 weeks on day #1 of chemotherapy Level 4: Oxaliplatin 55 mg/m2 IP every 2 weeks on day #1 of chemotherapy (due to DLTs found)

Model description
There are three cohorts of patients: Group #1 is at 25mg/m2 of IP oxaliplatin and has been completed. Group #2 is at 55mg/m2 of IP oxaliplatin is completed. Group #3 is at 85mg/m2 of IP oxaliplatin is currently enrolling. If DLTs found additional 3 subjects will be dosed at the lower dose level cohort. 2 DLTs were found in the 85 mg/m2 cohort therefore 3 additional subjects (Group # 4) will be enrolled to the 55 mg/m2 cohort.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Oxaliplatin in people with Colorectal Cancer and Appendix Cancer, run by University of Massachusetts, Worcester 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 17 inclusion and 0 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 31 May 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 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?

Define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intraperitoneal (IP) oxaliplatin given with systemic FOLFIRI in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of colorectal or appendiceal origin (time frame: 8 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 NCT02833753, which also lists 15 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 May 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
