Tumour markers will be analysed - CA15.3 in case of breast cancer, CEA in case of stomach cancer, CA19.9 in case of pancreatic cancer, CA125 in case of ovarian cancer.
Pharmacodynamics (PD) of Abraxane will be analyzed by tumour biopsies
Tumour samples will be collected (5x5x5 mm³) at the end of the aerosol delivery after each PIPAC procedure.
Quality of Life (The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire, EORTC QLQ-C30)
This will be investigated using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. As to question 1 to 28: the scale varies from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much). A higher value indicates a lower quality of life. The total score will be between 28 and 112. The scale of question 29 and 30 varies from 1 (very poor) to 7 (excellent). The higher the value, the better the quality of life. The total score will be between 2 and 14.
Quality of Life (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy, FACT-G questionnaire)
This will be investigated using the FACT-G questionnaire. The scale of all questions varies from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). The total score will be between 0 and 108. The lower the total score, the better the quality of life.
Neutropenia - number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0
Blood samples will be collected to analyse the absolute neutrophil count
Decreased platelets - number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0
Blood samples will be collected to analyse the amount of platelets.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The PIPAC nab-pac study is designed to examine the maximal tolerated dose of albumin bound nanoparticle paclitaxel (nab-pac, Abraxane) administered with repeated pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC), in a multicentre, multinational phase I trial.
Detailed Description
Over 85% of women with ovarian cancer (OC) will develop a peritoneal recurrence after initial therapy. The prognosis of patients with recurrent disease is poor, with a median survival ranging from 12 to 24 months. Most of these patients ultimately develop platinum resistant disease (PROC). Current systemic therapy results in a very modest improvement of progression free and overall survival. The addition of locoregional, intraperitoneal (IP) therapy may improve disease control in recurrent OC. Recently, pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol therapy (PIPAC) was added to the therapeutic arsenal. This novel technique allows repeated laparoscopy aided aerosol delivery of anticancer drugs to the peritoneal cavity. Abraxane (nab-pac, Celgene) is a novel 130 nm, albumin-bound (nab) nanoparticle formulation of paclitaxel which has noteworthy single-agent activity and a favourable toxicity profile when used systemically in PROC. A recent phase I study showed a significant pharmacokinetic advantage after IP instillation of nab-pac in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from ovarian or gastro-intestinal (GI) origin. In phase I of this study, dose escalation will be combined with pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modelling which incorporates, in addition to plasma, tumour tissue, and peritoneal drug concentrations, biomarkers of toxicity and efficacy.
