Active clinical trials for "Peritoneal Neoplasms"

MESOTIP is a randomized trial evaluating the association of PIPAC and systemic chemotherapy versus systemic chemotherapy alone as 1st-line treatment of Malignant Peritoneal Mesothelioma In this study, patients in the experimental arm will be treated by 4 PIPAC (Cisplatine+Doxorubicine) alternating with 6 cycles of standard intravenous chemotherapy (Cisplatine+Pemetrexed). MESOTIP aim to show an improvement of the overall survival in the experimental arm.

PIPAC is a procedure that involves the administration of intraperitoneal chemotherapy using an innovative concept that enhances the efficacy by taking advantage of the physical properties of gas and pressure. The chemotherapy drugs will be delivered in aerosolised form. This results in a superior distribution and depth of penetration of the drug. This research study serves to determine the safety profile and tolerability of PIPAC with oxaliplatin. It may offer a novel and effective option of treatment for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, who, at present have limited options involving the use of systemic chemotherapy and who suffer from poor life expectancy and poor quality of life. To date, most trials have used PIPAC cisplatin with doxorubicin, or oxaliplatin alone, and more studies are on-going globally. Intravenous (IV) nivolumab has been approved for the treatment of progressive gastric cancer after conventional chemotherapy. PIPAC in combination with nivolumab may have the potential to improve immune activation and response to immune checkpoint inhibition for patients with peritoneal disease. Hence we propose an amendment to our trial protocol for the addition of a second cohort (Cohort 2) to investigate the safety and tolerability of the combination of PIPAC oxaliplatin and IV nivolumab.

This phase I trial identifies the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of gemcitabine in combination with elimusertib (BAY 1895344) in treating patients with pancreatic, ovarian, and other solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cell from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. Elimusertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving gemcitabine and elimusertib in combination may shrink or stabilize cancer.

This phase IB trial evaluates the effect of niraparib and TSR-042 in treating patients with BRCA-mutated breast, pancreas, ovary, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Niraparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as TSR-042, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving niraparib and TSR-042 may kill more cancer cells.

This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of tumor treating fields therapy in combination with either cabozantinib or nab-paclitaxel and atezolizumab in treating patients with solid tumors involving the abdomen or thorax that have spread to other parts of the body (advanced). Tumor treating fields therapy on this study utilizes NovoTTF systems that are wearable devices that use electrical fields at different frequencies that may help stop the growth of tumor cells by interrupting cancer cells' ability to divide. Cabozantinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of tumor cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as nab-paclitaxel, 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. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving tumor treating fields therapy in combination with either cabozantinib, or with nab-paclitaxel and atezolizumab may help control advanced solid tumors involving the abdomen or thorax.

Women with history of tumor response insufficient to allow complete cytoreductive surgery after three cycles of previous neoadjuvant systemic carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy will be prospectively recruited in this trial. After signed consent and if unresectability is confirmed, patients will undergo three cycles of doxorubicin-cisplatin PIPAC chemotherapy associated with systemic carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy (alternating PIPAC and intravenous chemotherapy sessions over 3 cycles of 4 weeks). The primary objective of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MDT). During cycle 1, limiting dose toxicity must be collected as soon as it is known. Each patients will be treated at the dose recommended by the CRM (Continual Reassessment Method ) algorithm conditional on dose-limiting toxicity during Cycle 1. The dose escalation will be guided by CRM to determine the recommended dose of PIPAC chemotherapy for phase II trial. Secondary objectives are : to evaluate the anatomopathological response, the radiologic tumoral response and the evolution of the peritoneal cancer extent, to the combined chemotherapy to describe the pharmacokinetic of the PIPAC chemotherapy to investigate the KELIM parameter as a predictive marker in the response sensitivity of the combined chemotherapy treatment and to evaluate the safety of the combined chemotherapy. During the first day of the first cycle, blood samples will be collected to measure doxorubicin and cisplatin (pharmacokinetic study). Along these 3 cycles, the dose of antigen CA-125 will be performed before each chemotherapies (intraperitoneal or intravenous). At the end of combined chemotherapy treatment, patients will undergo radiologic tumoral response by imaging assessment (scanner or MRI) and a last dosage of CA-125 will be realized.. In case of a complete / partial response / stabilization (RECIST criteria v.1.) on the imaging, re-evaluation for resectability will be done. If resectable disease, cytoreductive surgery will be programmed and a post-operative visit 1 month later will be realized. Otherwise for patients with progress disease or unresectable the participation in the study will be finished.

This is a phase II clinical trial assessing the safety and efficacy of sequential systemic and intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy in patients with primary gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer with cytology positive peritoneal lavage and/or peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Peritoneal carcinomatosis from advanced gastro-intestinal malignancy has historically been associated with poor overall survival (≤ 12 months) with few treatment options. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS), which involves removal of all macroscopic tumor nodules, combined with direct administration of heated intra-peritoneal (IP) chemotherapy (HIPEC) to the affected peritoneal surfaces, has been shown to be an effective treatment option that extends overall survival among certain cases of peritoneal carcinomatosis. IP chemotherapy allows delivery of a high dose of cytostatic drug directly onto the peritoneal surfaces at risk for microscopic residual disease while systemic exposure remains limited. Additionally, hyperthermia is known to enhance the cytotoxicity of several agents (including Mitomycin C) and improves the depth of peritoneal penetration. This trial will be a randomized phase 2 comparison of flat dose versus weight-based dose Mitomycin C. The hypothesis of this study is that HIPEC weight-based dosing may result in similarly effective peritoneal Mitomycin C concentrations with less systemic absorption and potential systemic toxicity, compared with the HIPEC flat dosing approach in patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of addition of letrozole to the standard maintenance therapy in subjects following a primary diagnosis of Estrogen-receptor (ER) positive high and low grade epithelial ovarian cancer (including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer) and subsequent primary treatment surgery and chemotherapy. Half of the participants will receive to the standard maintenance treatment, letrozole, whilst the other half receives placebo. The study's primary hypothesis is that the treatment with letrozole increases progression free survival in comparison to the maintenance standard treatment (superiority trial).

This phase III trial studies how well letrozole with or without paclitaxel and carboplatin works in treating patients with stage II-IV low-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary, fallopian tube, or peritoneum. Letrozole is an enzyme inhibitor that lowers the amount of estrogen made by the body which in turn may stop the growth of tumor cells that need estrogen to grow. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, 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. It is not yet known whether giving letrozole alone or in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin works better in treating patients with low-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary, fallopian tube, or peritoneum compared to paclitaxel and carboplatin without letrozole.
