Active clinical trials for "Peritoneal Neoplasms"

This is a Phase I/Ib dose escalation, dose expansion, study to evaluate the safety and identify the recommended dose of modified immune cells PRGN-3005 (autologous chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells developed by Precigen, Inc.) in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has spread to other places in the body, that has come back and is resistant to platinum chemotherapy. Autologous CAR T cells are modified immune cells that have been engineered in the laboratory to specifically target a protein found on tumor cells and kill them.

This phase I trial studies the side effects of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) in treating patients with ovarian, uterine, appendiceal, stomach (gastric), or colorectal cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneal carcinomatosis). Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, oxaliplatin, leucovorin, fluorouracil, mitomycin, and irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. PIPAC is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the administration of intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The study device consists of a nebulizer (a device that turns liquids into a fine mist), which is connected to a high-pressure injector, and inserted into the abdomen (part of the body that contains the digestive organs) during a laparoscopic procedure (a surgery using small incisions to introduce air and to insert a camera and other instruments in the abdominal cavity for diagnosis and/or to perform routine surgical procedures). Pressurization of the liquid chemotherapy through the study device results in aerosolization (a fine mist or spray) of the chemotherapy intra-abdominally (into the abdomen). Giving chemotherapy through PIPAC may reduce the amount of chemotherapy needed to achieve acceptable drug concentration, and therefore potentially reduces side effects and toxicities.

Stomach cancer is recognized as the third leading cause of death of cancer patients worldwide. Despite the radical treatment carried out, the progression of gastric cancer occurs in 30-40% of patients. The most common type of tumor progression of this localization is peritoneal carcinomatosis. When peritoneal carcinomatosis occurs, the median survival of patients does not exceed 3 months, the overall survival is no more than 6 months. Unfortunately, when peritoneal carcinomatosis occurs, palliative chemotherapy remains the only treatment option. The modern strategy for the prevention and treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis is based on the concept of regional chemotherapy. The main methods of regional chemotherapy are hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and Pressured Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC). PIPAC is a new technology for delivering chemotherapy drugs to tumor nodes on the surface of the peritoneum and allows the cytostatic to be evenly distributed over the abdominal cavity, increasing the depth of its penetration into tumor nodes due to the properties of aerosol and gradients of intra-abdominal and interstitial pressure. The method has a number of advantages over the HIPEC method: a large penetration depth of drugs, low trauma, the possibility of repeated use. We offer PIPAC for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer and a high risk of developing peritoneal carcinomatosis in an adjuvant mode in addition to standard treatment to prevent the development of carcinomatosis.

This phase III trial compares minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to laparotomy in treating patients with stage IIIC-IV ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer who are receiving chemotherapy before and after surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy). MIS is a surgical procedure that uses small incision(s) and is intended to produce minimal blood loss and pain for the patient. Laparotomy is a surgical procedure which allows the doctors to remove some or all of the tumor and check if the disease has spread to other organs in the body. MIS may work the same or better than standard laparotomy after chemotherapy in prolonging the return of the disease and/or improving quality of life after surgery.

Background: Approximately 15% of gastric adenocarcinoma patients presents with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) at the first encounter and is regarded as an unresectable and end-stage disease. The recommended treatment with palliative chemotherapy alone yields a poor clinical efficacy. Emerging evidences suggest the survival benefits of complete cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with normothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (N-IPEC) for gastric adenocarcinoma with limited PC. Objective: To evaluate the 6-month disease control rate (DCR) of complete CRS combined with N-IPEC and systemic chemotherapy for gastric adenocarcinoma with limited PC. Patients and methods: Patients having gastric adenocarcinoma with PCI ≤ 10 (Arm-A) or positive peritoneal wash cytology (CY1/P0) (Arm-B) will be enrolled. Patients with other distant metastasis, including brain, lung, liver, bone, will be excluded. All patients should undergo ≥ D2 gastrectomy and complete CRS followed by N-IPEC (paclitaxel] and systemic chemotherapy (high-dose fluorouracil and cisplatin [P-HDFL], or capecitabine and oxaliplatin [CAPOX]). N-IPEC (paclitaxel) will be administered in combination with systemic P-HDFL or CAPOX on day 1,8,15 or day 1,8 for each cycle, respectively. The disease status will be evaluated every 12 weeks based on the computed tomography scan, and the clinical evaluation (outpatient follow-up) will be performed every 2 weeks for whom receiving P-HDFL and every 3 weeks for whom receiving CAPOX. Patients will receive maximal 6 cycles N-IPEC with P-HDFL or 8 cycles N-IPEC with CAPOX. After N-IPEC is discontinued, P-HDFL or CAPOX will be continued alone until disease progression or death. The primary endpoint of this study is 6-month DCR, and the secondary endpoints include 6-month response rate for ascites, 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), 3-year PFS and OS, and safety profiles. Based on Simon's minimax two-stage design, this trial will be carried out in two stages. In stage I, a total number of 13 (Arm-A) / 16 (Arm-B) patients is accrued. If there are ≤ 6 (Arm-A) / ≤ 14 (Arm-B) progression-free among these 13 (Arm-A) / 16 (Arm-B) patients, the study will be early stopped. Otherwise, additional 17 (Arm-A) / 2 (Arm-B) patients will be accrued in stage II, resulting in a total number sample size of 30 (Arm-A) / 18 (Arm-B). Expected result: A ≥ 75% (Arm-A) / ≥ 95% (Arm-B) 6-month DCR could be achieved for gastric adenocarcinoma patients with limited PC (Arm-A) / with CY1P0 (Arm-B) via this treatment strategy (complete CRS + N-IPEC + P-HDFL or CAPOX) -i.e., if there are ≥ 21 (Arm-A) / ≥ 16 (Arm-B) progression-free among the 30 (Arm-A) / 18 (Arm-B) enrolled patients, we will reject the null hypothesis and claim that the treatment is promising.

The proposed study design is a single arm Phase II trial to document the feasibility of carboplatin-mirvetuximab - in patients with advanced-stage EOC. Patients with biopsy confirmed, newly diagnosed, advanced-stage serous EOC deemed appropriate for NACT will have their tumors evaluated for FRα receptor over-expression via a centralized immunohistochemical assay (IHC) and identified as appropriate for study participation if IHC staining is PS2+ in >75% of cells (40% of all serous patients). Eligible patients will receive NACT with one cycle of carboplatin, followed by mirvetuximab + carboplatin (if FRα +) every 21 days for three cycles prior to interval cytoreductive surgery (iCRS). A total of 70 will be included in the study. Following completion of 4 cycles total of NACT and after allowing for appropriate recovery of cycle # 4, patients eligible for surgery, will undergo an iCRS. Patients will then complete 3 more cycles of mirvetuximab + carboplatin for a total of 7 intended cycles of treatment. It is up to the treating physician if they want to add bevacizumab to the last 2 cycles or use any type of maintenance therapy. The decision to add bevacizumab or use maintenance therapy does not need to be made upfront. Patients will sign a screening consent form prior to tissue biopsy. If a patient is found to be FRα negative, their treating physician can select the treatment they deem appropriate and the patient will be declared a screen failure. Patients with BRCA mutations are not excluded from this trial and are allowed to receive standard of care maintenance therapy including bevacizumab and/or PARP inhibitors.

The PIPAC NAL-IRI study is designed to examine the maximal tolerated dose of nanoliposomal irinotecan (Nal-IRI, Onivyde) administered with repeated pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC), in a monocentric, phase I trial.

This study is phase II, open label, clinical trial to determine the efficacy of Oregovomab and non-platinum chemotherapy in PARP inhibitor resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer patients who were not suitable for platinum retreatment. Patients who have received one to three prior lines of chemotherapy are to be assigned to Cohort 1 (oregovamab 2 mg [C1,2,3,5,7 for five doses] + pegylated liposomal doxorubicin [PLD] 40 mg/m2 q4w, n=28), while patients who have received more than three prior lines of chemotherapy are to be assigned to Cohort 2 (oregovamab 2 mg [C1,2,3,5,7 for five doses] + weekly paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 [D1,8,15 q4w], n=28). A total of 56 patients will be recruited and treated with oregovomab + PLD / weekly paclitaxel until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of patient consent. The primary endpoint is objective response rate by RECIST 1.1.

Background: Tumors that have spread to the lining of the abdomen from other cancers, such as cancer of the appendix, colon, or ovary, are called peritoneal carcinomatosis. In most cases, outcomes are poor. Researchers want to test a new treatment. Objective: To learn if the combination of oral nilotinib plus paclitaxel given by IV and directly into the abdomen can reduce tumors enough for people to have surgery. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 and older with peritoneal carcinomatosis that is too widespread for surgery. Design: Participants will be screened with: Physical exam Medical history Blood and urine tests Electrocardiogram Laparoscopy. They will get general anesthesia. Small cuts will be made in their abdomen. Tissue and fluid samples will be taken. Surveys about their health CT scans of their torso Participants will have up to 4 more laparoscopies. During the first procedure, a port will be placed under the skin of their abdomen (an IP port). It will be attached to a catheter that is placed in their abdomen. Participants will get treatment in 3-week cycles, for 3 or 6 cycles. They will take nilotinib by mouth twice daily. They will get paclitaxel by IP port (once per cycle) and by IV (twice per cycle). After cycles 3 and 6, they will have a laparoscopy and CT scans. Then they may take nilotinib and get IV paclitaxel for up to 1 year. At study visits, participants will repeat some screening tests. About 6 weeks after treatment ends and then every 3 months for 3 years, participants will have follow-up visits at NIH or with their local doctor....

The study is a multicenter, Phase Ib/IIa, open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of orally administered KAND567 in combination with carboplatin therapy, and to determine the Recommended Phase II Dose (RPIID) of KAND567 in combination with carboplatin in subjects with recurrent platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. In Part 1, dose escalation will be based on the recommendation of the Safety Review Committee (SRC) after review of the emerging safety and tolerability information. Once the RPIID has been identified in Part 1, the SRC may recommend to the Sponsor to start Part 2. An expansion cohort will be enrolled in Part 2 of the study to further evaluate the RPIID (approximately 20 subjects; may range from 6 to 24 subjects, depending on Part 1). If the number of subjects with confirmed CX3CR1 expression in tumor cells is below 50%, an additional 15 subjects may be included in Part 2 of the study.
