About this study

Official title: A Phase III Multicenter Prospective Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial of HIPEC as NACT and Postoperative Chemotherapy After Interval Debulking Surgery in the Treatment of Advanced-Stage Epithelial Ovarian Cancer

This project is a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled clinical observation the safety and efficacy of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy as neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NACT) and postoperative chemotherapy after interval debulking surgery (IDS) for advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer . PR/SD rate, percentage of optimal debulking surgery and 3-year disease-free survival is the primary end points of this project.

Read the detailed description

The current standard treatment for epithelial ovarian cancer, tubal cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer is maximal cytoreductive surgery followed by intravenous chemotherapy with or without intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IP). Recently, the organizations of SGO and ASCO recommended that women with a high perioperative risk profile or a low likelihood of achieving cytoreduction to < 1 cm of residual disease (ideally to novisible disease) should receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Hyperthermia promotes chemotherapy to penetrate deeper into the cancer tissue. Therefore, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) as neoadjuvant chemotherapy and postoperative chemotherapy after interval debulking surgery in the treatment of ovarian cancer could lead to higher response rate and better survival outcomes.

What participants receive

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

  • Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal ChemotherapyProcedure or surgery

    Also called HIPEC

    HIPEC is performed as neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NACT) and postoperative chemotherapy after interval debulking surgery (IDS) for advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer. The first HIPEC is conducted within 24h after laparoscopic exploration or Interval debulking surgery: Paclitaxel 175 mg/m^2, 43°C, 90min. The second HIPEC is performed after 48 hours of the first HIPEC. The second HIPEC regimens are cisplatin 75 mg/m^2, 43°C, 90min.

  • Interval debulking surgeryProcedure or surgery

    Also called IDS

    Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is performed after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

  • neoadjuvant chemotherapyDrug

    Also called NACT

    Systemic chemotherapy regimens after HIPEC treatment are paclitaxel 175 mg/m^2 IV>3 hour+ carboplatin AUC = 5-6 IV>1 hour, every 3 weeks for 2 cycles in experimental group.

    Systemic chemotherapy regimens after laparoscopic exploration are paclitaxel 175 mg/m^2 IV>3 hour+ carboplatin AUC = 5-6 IV>1 hour, every 3 weeks for 3 cycles in control group.

  • adjuvant chemotherapyDrug

    Also called ACT

    Systemic chemotherapy regimens after HIPEC treatment are paclitaxel 175 mg/m^2 IV>3 hour+ carboplatin AUC = 5-6 IV>1 hour, every 3 weeks for 2 cycles in experimental group.

    Systemic chemotherapy regimens after IDS are paclitaxel 175 mg/m^2 IV>3 hour+ carboplatin AUC = 5-6 IV>1 hour, every 3 weeks for 3 cycles in control group.

What is being measured

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

  1. PR/SD rate

    calculate the percent of partial remission (PR) plus stable disease (SD) of patients received HIPEC+NACT or NACT alone in both two arms

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Percentage of optimal debulking surgery

    evaluate the percentage of optimal debulk (residual disease < 1cm) after interval debulking surgery between study arms

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Disease-free survival rate

    assess disease free survival rate during 3 years in both study arms

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall survival rate

    assess overall survival rate during 3 years in both study arms

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Risk factors for morbidity and mortality

    determine percent of patients wtih Grade I-IV adverse events according to NCI criteria, Common Terminology Criteria for AE (CTCAE 4.0).

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Quality of life

    Evaluated according to European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Cancer (EORTC QLQ-C30)

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Quality of life for ovarian cancer

    Evaluated according to European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Ovarian Cancer Module (QLQ-OV28)

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy, Interval debulking surgery and neoadjuvant chemotherapy in people with Epithelial Ovarian Cancer and Fallopian Tube Cancer, run by Shu-Zhong Cui at 1 site in China.

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 10 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 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 China. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shuzhong Cui, M.D (0086-138-0251-3800, cuishuzhong@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PR/SD rate (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Jan 2018.
