Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Subjects will be recruited from the institutions involved. All patients must meet inclusion/exclusion criteria (as indicated above) to be considered. Each subject will undergo medical examination during the screening visit (Visit 1) prior to enrolment. The personal data and detailed medical history will be recorded. The screening will take place no more than 6 weeks before intervention. This screening procedure will consist of: * Checking of inclusion/exclusion criteria * Detailed history including medical history * A standard physical examination including the cardiovascular, nervous, respiratory systems, conscience, memory, orientation, and body weight The patient's informed consent for study participation will be signed at the time of enrollment.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients (18 years of age or older) with ovarian, gastric, or colorectal cancer who have PM who after thorough evaluation are deemed candidates for:
  • CRS \& HIPEC if complete cytoreductive surgery is possible (OR)
  • PIPAC if no complete cytoreductive surgery is possible at the University Hospital of Tubingen are eligible for entry in this study

Who cannot join

  • ASA 3 \& 4 patients
  • Patients who have received chemotherapy within 1 month prior to the planned surgery
  • Patients who have received blood transfusion(s) within 2 weeks of the planned surgery
  • Patients in whom the treatment plan includes systemic chemotherapy to be given during the first 2 weeks after surgery.
  • History of allergic reaction to cisplatin or other platinum containing compounds or doxorubicin
  • Severe renal impairment, myelosuppression, severe hepatic impairment, severe myocardial insufficiency, recent myocardial infarction, severe arrhythmias

About this study

Official title: Study of Plasma Tumor-promoting Factors and Immune Function After Explorative Laparotomy, Tumor Debulking and HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) vs. PIPAC (Pressurized IntraPeritoneal Aerosol Chemothereapy) in Patients With Peritoneal Metastasis as Evaluated by Serum Proliferative Activity, Levels of Proteins, Cytokines, Circulating Growth Factors, Inhibitors and Their Binding Proteins.

The general goal of this study is to investigate the effect of treatment on serum concentrations of proteins known to impact angiogenesis or tumor growth and establishment in patients with peritoneal metastasis of various origin. Since the immune system is thought, by many, to have an impact on tumor growth and development, this study also seeks to determine the impact of abdominal surgery on postoperative immune function in PM patients, as judged by proteins known to influence immune function. This study will not only characterize the postoperative plasma but also to determine if the magnitude of any of the changes noted is associated with a worse or improved oncologic outcome.

The principle purpose of this study is to gather perioperative serum/plasma samples from patients with PM from a variety of different primary tumors (ovarian, gastric, and colorectal) undergoing either CRS and HIPEC versus PIPAC.

Read the detailed description

The plasma samples obtained in this protocol will also be used to study the various plasma proteins that influence immune function as well as those that influence angiogenesis. In addition to the proteins mentioned above, there are also a large number of other proteins that have not been investigated thus far in the perioperative window; these proteins also merit assessment. The plasma obtained via this study and protocol will also be used to search for other tumor growth factors influenced by surgery or to investigate the impact of surgery on immune function.

Aim 1: To determine perioperative serum levels, over time, of a variety of serum proteins including but not limited to IGFBP-3, VEGF, Ang 2, PlGF, sVCAM, CHI3L1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MCP-1 and proteins that influence immune function as well as other proteins in the following 2 groups of patients:

  1. PM patients treated with CRS and HIPEC
  2. PM patients treated with PIPAC.

Aim 2: To compare the perioperative blood protein results between the 2 different groups of patients.

Aim 3: To determine, within each group, a possible correlation between the magnitude of these effects on oncological outcome (patient overall survival).

Aim 4: To search for other surgery-influenced plasma or cellular factors that may influence early postoperative tumor growth or that hold promise as tumor or prognostic markers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peritoneal Cancer and Chemotherapy-Induced Change, run by University Hospital Tuebingen at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 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 10 Oct 2019. 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 Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Marc A Reymond, MD MBA (+4970712986722, marc.reymond@med.uni-tuebingen.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Serum levels of the proteins of interest over time (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 10 Oct 2019.
