Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

  • Patients must be ambulatory: World Health Organisation (WHO) performance status 0 or 1.
  • Life expectancy of at least 3 months.
  • Ability to return to the Erasmus MC for adequate follow-up as required by this protocol.
  • Patients must have normal organ function and adequate bone marrow reserve as assessed by the following laboratory requirements:

    • absolute neutrophil count >1.5 * 10^9/l;
    • platelet count >100*10^9/l;
    • Hb>6.0mmol/l;
    • Bilirubin < 1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN);
    • Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 2.5 x ULN;

  • Serious concomitant disease or active infections.
  • Distant metastasis other than peritoneal metastasis or metastatic lymph nodes.
  • No sufficient oral food intake.
  • Polyneuropathy grade 2 or worse according to CTCAE version 5.0.
  • History of auto-immune disease or organ allografts, or with active or chronic infection, including HIV and viral hepatitis.
  • Serious intercurrent chronic or acute illness such as pulmonary (COPD or asthma) or cardiac (NYHA class III or IV) or hepatic disease or other illness considered by the study coordinator to constitute an unwarranted high risk for participation in this study.

  • Absence of assurance of compliance with the protocol.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Maximum-tolerated dose
The maximum tolerable dose and recommended phase II dose of intraperitoneal irinotecan added to systemic chemotherapy (capecitabine/oxaliplatin)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0
Toxicity graded according to the CTCAE v.5.0 determined at every cycle by the medical oncologist. Toxicity will be summarized descriptively.
Area Under the Curve (AUC) ratio intraperitoneal/systemic irinotecan
During the first irinotecan intraperitoneal cycle, pharmacokinetic measurements wil be obtained. These will be withdrawn at specific time-points, namely prior to infusion, at the end of the intraperitoneal infusion, ass well as 30 minutes, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 24 hours post infusion. Blood samples from a peripheral venous catheter and peritoneal fluid will be drawn from the peritoneal access port. We assume that the AUC of irinotecan and SN-38 follow a log-normal distribution. Therefore, the analysis will be performed on log-transformed data. The antilog will be taken from the ratio and corresponding 95% confidence interval boundaries will be reported.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis has a poor prognosis, with little treatment options available. The current treatment strategy consists of palliative systemic chemotherapy. However, previous research suggests that systemic chemotherapy is less effective against peritoneal carcinomatosis than against metastases that spread hematogenously. Several studies suggested that in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IP) may be superior compared to intravenous chemotherapy. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy could lead to higher concentrations of chemotherapy in the peritoneal cavity for a longer period of time, resulting in an increased cumulative exposure to the peritoneal metastases. A few Asian studies have shown promising results with intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric origin. However, intraperitoneal chemotherapy combined with systemic chemotherapy has not been investigated in Western patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric origin yet. The objective of this trial is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intraperitoneal administration of irinotecan, added to systemic capecitabine/oxaliplatin (CAPOX) in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric origin.
