Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?This phase II clinical trial tests how well robotic cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in treating patients with gastric cancer that has spread to the tissue that lines the wall of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum). Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide and peritoneal metastasis are found in 30% of patients at time of diagnosis. Patients with peritoneal metastasis have poor survival rates. Traditional surgery is done with a large incision and has a high complication rate and longer hospital stays. Robot assisted (robotic) cytoreduction is a surgical option that uses small incisions and there is less risk of complications. HIPEC involves infusing heated chemotherapy into the abdominal cavity during surgery. Robotic cytoreduction together with HIPEC may improve recovery and decrease complications after surgery.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

What data supports the effectiveness of this treatment for stomach cancer?

Research shows that the combination of docetaxel and cisplatin is effective in treating advanced gastric cancer, with studies indicating it is active against untreated advanced cases and can be part of a successful regimen for marginally resectable gastric cancer.

Is the combination of docetaxel and cisplatin safe for treating stomach cancer?

The combination of docetaxel and cisplatin has been studied for stomach cancer and is generally well-tolerated, but it can cause side effects like low white blood cell counts, hair loss, and nausea. These side effects are common but manageable with medical care.

What makes the Robotic Surgery + HIPEC treatment for stomach cancer unique?

This treatment combines robotic surgery, which is minimally invasive, with HIPEC (heated chemotherapy applied directly inside the abdomen) using drugs like cisplatin and docetaxel. This approach is unique because it targets cancer cells in the abdomen more directly and may reduce side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.

[Three cases of gastric cancer treated by S-1 combined with docetaxel in place of cisplatin]. [2018]Although combination of S-1 and cisplatin (CDDP) is a standard therapy for advance or recurrent gastric cancer patients, there are some cases where a CDDP administration is difficult for patients. We here report three such cases of gastric cancer treated by S-1 and docetaxel (DOC) combination therapy. Based on our three cases, we believe that S-1 and DOC combination therapy could be suitable for outpatients showing safety and efficacy.
Biweekly fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel (FLOT) for patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the stomach or esophagogastric junction: a phase II trial of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Internistische Onkologie. [2022]The combination of docetaxel (Taxotere), cisplatin, and fluorouracil improved efficacy in gastric cancer, but was associated with substantial toxicity. This study was designed to incorporate docetaxel into a tolerable biweekly (once every 2 weeks) oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy regimen.

Phase II study of sorafenib in combination with docetaxel and cisplatin in the treatment of metastatic or advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma: ECOG 5203. [2022]The combination of sorafenib with chemotherapy is well-tolerated and is associated with encouraging response rates in several malignances. Both docetaxel and cisplatin are active in gastric cancer. A phase II study was conducted to determine the efficacy and toxicity of combined sorafenib, docetaxel, and cisplatin in patients with metastatic or advanced adenocarcinoma of stomach or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ).
Phase 2 study of adjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel, capecitabine, and cisplatin in patients with curatively resected stage IIIB-IV gastric cancer. [2018]Postoperative chemotherapy with S-1 or capecitabine plus oxaliplatin is a standard treatment for resectable gastric cancer (GC). However, survival outcomes of stage IIIB-IV (M0) GC cases are still poor. We investigated the efficacy and safety of docetaxel, capecitabine, and cisplatin (DXP) in patients with stage IIIB-IV GC.
Docetaxel and cisplatin in patients with advanced or recurrent gastric cancer: a multicenter phase I/II study. [2019]Because docetaxel and cisplatin are both active against gastric cancer and have different mechanisms of action, this combination may provide additive or synergistic effects against gastric cancer. This article presents a phase I study designed to determine the recommended dose of cisplatin combined with a fixed dose of docetaxel, and a subsequent phase II study that evaluated the clinical efficacy and feasibility of this combination regimen.
[An early phase II clinical study of RP56976 (docetaxel) in patients with cancer of the gastrointestinal tract]. [2018]An early phase II clinical study of RP56976 (docetaxel), a new semisynthetic agent, was conducted in patients with apparatus digestorius cancer. Two or more intravenous doses of 60 mg/m2 were administered with dose-free intervals of 3-4 weeks. Of the 44 patients enrolled, 32 patients (15 patients with gastric cancer, 16 patients with colon cancer, and 1 patient with pancreatic cancer) completed the scheduled course of treatment. For antitumor efficacy in the 15 patients with gastric cancer that completed the study, 3 showed a partial response (PR)(20.0%). Of the 16 patients with colon cancer that completed the study, 1 showed a partial response (PR)(6.3%). No efficacy was noted in the patient with pancreatic cancer. All three patients with gastric cancer showing a partial response (PR) to docetaxel had displayed no response to previous chemotherapy. Evaluation was made for the primary gastric lesion and metastatic lesions in cervical lymph nodes and liver. The most frequent adverse reactions included leukopenia (100%) and neutropenia (97.2%) and subjective/objective adverse reactions included alopecia (80.6%), anorexia (72.2%), fatigue (52.8%), fever (47.2%) nausea/vomiting (47.2%), and diarrhea (38.9%). Leukopenia was of Grade III or more in 75.0% of the patients and neutropenia was of Grade III or more in 91.7%. All other adverse reactions were acceptable. The results suggest that docetaxel is an effective anticancer agent for gastric cancer.

Extensive Peritonectomy is an Independent Risk Factor for Cisplatin HIPEC-Induced Acute Kidney Injury. [2023]Cisplatin (CDDP)-containing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is frequently applied in selected patients with peritoneal malignancies derived from ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, and primary peritoneal mesothelioma. HIPEC with CDDP increases perioperative morbidity, in particular by inducing acute kidney injury (AKI). Factors contributing to occurrence of AKI after intraperitoneal perfusion with CDDP have not been sufficiently evaluated.
Phase II trial of prophylactic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer after curative surgery. [2021]HIPEC is an emerging procedure to treat peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. Data about HIPEC in locally advanced gastric cancer is scarce. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and toxicity of prophylactic HIPEC with cisplatin for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer.
