About this study
Official title: Phase IV Multicentric Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) With Mytomicin-C After Complete Surgical Cytoreduction in Patients With Colon Cancer Peritoneal Metastases
The aim of this study is to assess whether there are differences in PERITONEAL RECURRENCE in patients with Colon Cancer Peritoneal Metastases treated with complete surgical resection and systemic chemotherapy, with (Group 1) or without (Group 2) HIPEC with Mitomycin-C.
Read the detailed description
CytoReductive Surgery (CRS) + Hyperthermic IntraPEritoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC), especially from the year 2000 onwards, has obtained unprecedented results in patients with low to moderate volume peritoneal metastases (PM) of colorectal cancer (CRC), so that it has gradually been accepted, even being considered the best treatment for these patients. However, the actual role of HIPEC as a necessary component of treatment is unknown, despite its proven experimental basis. The French PRODIGE 7 study, presented at ASCO in 2018 and published on January 2021, has raised doubts about the survival benefit of HIPEC. In this study, there was no difference in overall survival (OS) with or without HIPEC (with Oxaliplatin 30 minutes) after resection of PM-CRC. However, since its presentation, several methodological flaws have been identified: a short exposure time to Oxaliplatin, an overestimation of the effect of HIPEC on OS (18 months) considered for the sample calculation, or the choice of OS as the main endpoint (since HIPEC can reduce peritoneal relapses, while OS is also influenced by the systemic treatment received by all patients). Due to these shortcomings and some others, the results have not been assumed to be definitive. Therefore, the majority of units specialized in peritoneal surface malignancy, continue to consider HIPEC in these patients as a recommended option, usually changing Oxaliplatin for Mitomycin-C (MMC). With these premises we propose this multicenter Clinical Trial, correcting the retrospective defects of PRODIGE 7. To do this, the cytostatic used in HIPEC will be changed (MMC instead of oxaliplatin), the infusion time will be increased (from 30 to 90 minutes), rectal cancers are ruled out (only colon cancers will be included), cases with high peritoneal extension (PCI> 20) will be avoided, those cases in which a complete CRS (CCS 0) is not achieved will be excluded, and the main objective will be the Peritoneal Recurrence Free Survival (RFS) instead of the OS.

complete cytoreductive surgery plus HIPEC with Mytomicin C for 90 minutesDrug
In the arm with HIPEC, this will be performed with Mytomicin C, at a dose of 35 mg/m2 in peritoneal dialysis solution (2 liter/m2) for 90 minutes, with dose fractionation: 50% min 0, 25% min 30, 25% min 60
complete cytoreductive surgery without HIPECProcedure or surgery
in the arm without HIPEC, only complete cytoreductive surgery will be performed
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| complete cytoreductive surgery plus HIPEC with Mytomicin C for 90 minutes | Active comparator | Not described Receives: Drug: complete cytoreductive surgery plus HIPEC with Mytomicin C for 90 minutes |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Peritoneal Recurrence Free Survival
From the date of surgery to the date of peritoneal recurrence or death, or to the end of follow-up
Measured: 3 years
Secondary outcomes (7)
Global recurrence at any location (Disease Free Survival)
From the date of surgery to the date of recurrence at any site or death
Measured: 3 years
Locoregional and distant recurrence rate (isolated or coincident, with or without simultaneous peritoneal recurrence)
From the date of surgery to the date of locoregional and/or distant recurrence
Measured: 3 years
Postoperative complications (rate and severity grade)
Using the CTCAE v5.0 adverse event classification system, including those related to HIPEC.
Measured: days 1-90 after surgery
Peritoneal and global recurrence rate according to stratified PCI
Rate of peritoneal and global recurrence in 3 subgroups of PCI ((1-10, 11-15, 16-20)
Measured: 3 years
Overall survival
Months from from the day of treatment initiation (either neoadjuvant SCT or upfront CRS) to the date of death or to the end of follow-up.
Measured: 3 years
Quality of Life with EORTC validated questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30)
The QLQ-CR29 is a supplementary questionnaire module to be employed in conjunction with the QLQ-C30. In fact, their numbering is consecutive (the last item of QLQ-C30 is number 30, being the first item of QLQ-CR29 number 31). Both have function and symptom scales/single-items. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. A high score for the functional scale and functional single-items represents a high level of functioning, whereas a high score for the symptom scales and symptom single-items represents a high level of symptomatology or problems.
Measured: pre-surgery, at the end of postoperative SCT (an average 4-6 months), at 12 months and at 24 months

- Recruitment will be carried out at the outpatient clinic, once the indication of CRS ± HIPEC (CC-PM of apparently limited volume without metastasis at other sites) has been established after presenting the case in the Multidisciplinary Tumour Board. Eligible patients need to meet the presurgical inclusion criteria (even though some criteria have to be confirmed during surgery for randomization), and sign the informed consent. Randomization occurs intraoperatively, once the extension of peritoneal disease is found to be truly limited (PCI ≤ 20) after complete surgical exploration, and only after radical surgery (CCS 0) has been possible. At this time, patients are randomized to receive HIPEC with MMC for 90 minutes (Arm 1), or no HIPEC and therefore surgery is finished (Arm 2).

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 31 sites in Spain. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Fernando Pereira, PhD (+34916006455, fernando.pereira@salud.madrid.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Peritoneal Recurrence Free Survival (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT05250648, 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 9 Oct 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
