Active clinical trials for "Peritoneal Neoplasms"

GLORIOSA is a Phase 3 multicenter, open label study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mirvetuximab Soravtansine as maintenance therapy in participants with platinum-sensitive ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancers with high folate receptor-alpha (FRα) expression.

Combined chemotherapy consisting of endovenous Nabpaclitaxel-Gemcitabine and Nabpaclitaxel-PIPAC may be a promising treatment for patients affected by pancreatic cancer PM who are in need of curative options. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antitumoral activity of combined Nabpaclitaxel-PIPAC and systemic Nabpaclitaxel-Gemcitabine chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer peritoneal metastases. Secondary objectives include the evaluation of the feasibility, the safety, further assessment of the antitumoral activity, the overall and progression free survival, the QoL, the pharmacokinetics of Nabpaclitaxel PIPAC. Furthermore, the study aims to evaluate the patients' nutritional status and the molecular evolution of PM along treatment with a time-course translational research.

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.

The purpose of this trial is to compare the morbidity and mortality of CRS-HIPEC using mitomycin-C versus melphalan for colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis. Morbidity and mortality will measured using the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) score, Common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE version 4.03), and the Clavien-Dindo Classification.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of adjuvant HIPEC with Mitomycin C after colectomy in the treatment of colorectal cancer patients at high risk of peritoneal carcinomatosis.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of paclitaxel for the treatment of gastric or gastroesophageal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 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.

To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of FT538 monotherapy when administered via intraperitoneal (IP) catheter and in combination with intravenous (IV) enoblituzumab in patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer.

This is a single-center, open-label, non-randomized, uncontrolled Phase 1 study of intraperitoneal docetaxel in combination with systemic mFOLFOX6 for patients who have gastric cancer with gross peritoneal carcinomatosis (GC-PC).

Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) in gastric cancer (GC) is considered a fatal disease, without expectation of definitive cure. Since conventional surgery is not indicated in the palliative setting, and systemic chemotherapy treatments are not sufficient to contain the disease, a multimodal approach associating intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy (CMT) with surgery may represent an alternative for these patients. IP CMT has shown superior results to conventional treatment in patients at this stage of the disease, and can achieve complete regression of lesions in a significant portion of cases. Once response to treatment is achieved, patients become fit for curative surgery, which offers a new perspective on the survival in these previously unresectable cases, and raising survival rates to similar levels to patients undergoing surgery with curative intention. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the complete response rate and curative resection in patients with PC by GC at Instituto do Cancer do Estado de São Paulo (ICESP) treated with IP CMT. Patients prospectively included in the study will undergo implantation of a peritoneum catheter to perform outpatient IP CMT in order to promote the regression of lesions. Those with complete regression may be referred for surgical treatment, curing a portion of these patients. The diagnosis of PC will be performed by conventional cytological, immunohistochemical and liquid cytology methods to determine the presence of tumor cells in the peritoneal lavage and to evaluate the sensitivity of the methods. In addition, it is proposed in the study the storage of material for further study of circulating markers in peripheral blood and peritoneal lavage that may be related to response or resistance to treatment. It is believed that IP CMT may not only increase the survival of patients with PC, but also offer the possibility of cure for a significant portion of patients who are currently without treatment prospects and with a median survival of only six months.

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.
