Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?To assess if PD-L1 expression can be upregulated in peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer after the administration of HIPEC with greater frequency compared to systemic chemotherapy alone
Is the drug combination of Cisplatin and Mitomycin a promising treatment for advanced stomach cancer?Yes, the combination of Cisplatin and Mitomycin is considered promising for advanced stomach cancer when used in hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Studies suggest that using these drugs together can lead to better long-term outcomes for patients.78101112
What data supports the idea that HIPEC for Advanced Stomach Cancer is an effective treatment?The available research shows that using HIPEC with a combination of drugs like cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and mitomycin C can be effective for advanced stomach cancer. One study found that a specific combination of these drugs led to a higher response rate in patients, meaning more patients showed improvement. Another study highlighted that using cisplatin with other drugs in HIPEC could lead to better long-term outcomes compared to using just one drug. These findings suggest that HIPEC can be a promising treatment option for advanced stomach cancer.356712
What safety data is available for HIPEC treatment in advanced stomach cancer?The safety data for HIPEC treatment using Mitomycin C and Cisplatin includes several studies. One study on HIPEC with Mitomycin C found no detectable safety hazards to personnel, though the results were debated due to methodological issues. A dose-finding trial for HIPEC with Cisplatin in gynecological cancer patients identified the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) as 85 mg/m2, with common adverse events including nausea, vomiting, tinnitus, and kidney injury. Another study on Cisplatin in HIPEC for ovarian cancer found a recommended phase II dose of 100 mg/m2, with common toxicities being fatigue, pain, nausea, and infection. Overall, Cisplatin and Mitomycin C in HIPEC have shown an acceptable safety profile, with specific dose-related toxicities noted.12469

[Phase I study of a new antineoplastic agent, cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II)]. [2013]Phase I study of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (CIS-DDP) was performed in 7 institution's clinical group using 40 patients with histologically proven urologic and gynecologic malignancies. The most characteristic adverse effects were nausea, vomiting, and anorexia. With the cessation of administration they disappeared within one or two days. Manifestation of hematopoietic and renal toxicities were found low. Hepatotoxicities were slight. In this study there were no cases who showed hearing disturbances and tinnitus, which were reported in rather high percentages. Acceptable doses of CIS-DDP for single and 5 days' consecutive administration were estimated 50 and 20 mg/m2/day respectively.
Investigations on safety of hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with Mitomycin C. [2013]Previous safety monitoring of hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with Mitomycin C (MMC) did not demonstrate any detectable safety hazard to the personnel. Nevertheless, those results have been discussed controversially because of the methodological problems employed in the evaluation of potential exposure. We re-evaluated possible safety hazards of HIPEC by applying different monitoring strategies.
Combination therapy with cisplatin, 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR) and mitomycin (MMC) in patients with inoperable, advanced gastric cancer. [2019]The optimal dose of cisplatin (CDDP) for combination chemotherapy for the treatment of inoperable, advanced gastric cancer has yet to be established. We therefore performed a randomized study to compare the therapeutic usefulness of two dose levels of cisplatin. 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR 1,400 mg/m(2)/d) was given orally on days 1 to 4 and 15 to 18. Mitomycin C (MMC, 5.75 mg/m(2)/d) was injected intravenously on day 5. In addition, 80 mg/m2/d of CDDP (regimen A) or 60 mg/m(2)/d of CDDP (regimen B) was given by 2-h intravenous drip infusion on day 5. This treatment cycle was repeated every four weeks. Fifty-six patients were enrolled. Clinical response was evaluated in 32 patients (regimen A, 16 patients; regimen B? 16 patients) with measurable lesions. The response rate was significantly higher with regimen A (9 PR/16, 56.3%) than with regimen B (3 PR/16, 18.9%) (p=0.028, chi(2) test). Median survival was slightly but not significantly longer with regimen A (7.4 months) than with regimen B (6.3 months). Drug toxicity included myelosuppression and gastrointestinal symptoms, but there were no serious adverse reactions or differences in safety between the treatment regimens. Regimen A was associated with a high response rate and low toxicity. The optimal dose of CDDP in combination with 5'-DFUR and MMC for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer is regarded to be 80 mg/m(2).
HIPEC ROC I: a phase I study of cisplatin administered as hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemoperfusion followed by postoperative intravenous platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer. [2019]This phase I study tested the safety, feasibility, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of cisplatin administered as hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) undergoing secondary cytoreductive surgery followed by postoperative platinum-based intravenous chemotherapy. Twelve patients with operable, recurrent platinum-sensitive EOC (recurrence ≥6 months after first-line therapy) were included according to the classical 3+3 dose-escalation design at three dose levels-60, 80 and 100 mg/m(2). After surgical cytoreduction, a single dose of cisplatin was administered via HIPEC for 90 min at 41-43°C. Postoperatively, all patients were treated with standard intravenous platinum-based combination chemotherapy. One of six patients experienced a dose-limiting toxicity (grade 3 renal toxicity) at a dose of 100 mg/m(2). The remaining five patients treated with 100 mg/m(2) tolerated their treatment well. The recommended phase II dose was established at 100 mg/m(2). The mean peritoneal-to-plasma AUC ratio was 19·5 at the highest dose level. Cisplatin-induced DNA adducts were confirmed in tumor samples. Common postoperative grade 1-3 toxicities included fatigue, postoperative pain, nausea, and surgical site infection. The ability to administer standard intravenous platinum-based chemotherapy after HIPEC was uncompromised. Cisplatin administered as HIPEC at a dose of 100 mg/m(2) has an acceptable safety profile in selected patients undergoing secondary cytoreductive surgery for platinum-sensitive recurrent EOC. Favorable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of HIPEC with cisplatin were confirmed at all dose levels, especially at 100 mg/m(2). The results are encouraging to determine the efficacy of HIPEC as a complementary treatment in patients with EOC.
Selection of chemotherapy for hyperthermic intraperitoneal use in gastric cancer. [2016]Several studies have shown the potential benefit of cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in gastric cancer patients. At present the most effective chemotherapeutic regime in HIPEC for gastric cancer is unknown. The aim of this review was to provide a comprehensive overview of chemotherapeutic agents used for HIPEC in gastric cancer.
Feasibility and safety of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy using 5-fluorouracil combined with cisplatin and mitomycin C in patients undergoing gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer. [2018]We conducted a dose-finding study for 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) administered with cisplatin (CDDP) and mitomycin C (MMC) to find an improved regimen for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for advanced gastric cancer (GC).
5-fluorouracil combined with cisplatin and mitomycin C as an optimized regimen for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in gastric cancer. [2018]Optimized drug regimens for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have not been standardized completely in patients with advanced gastric cancer (GC). We evaluated an optimized anti-tumor protocol comprising 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) combined with cisplatin (CDDP) and mitomycin C (MMC) in vitro for clinical use of HIPEC.
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.
A Dose-Finding Trial for Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Cisplatin in Gynecological Cancer Patients Receiving Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy. [2021]Background: To identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of hyperthermic intraperitoneal cisplatin at 43°C among gynecological cancer patients. Methods: In this Phase I dose-finding trial, Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design was used. We sought to explore the MTD with a target dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rate of 20%, 4 prespecified doses (70 mg/m2, 75 mg/m2, 80 mg/m2 and 85 mg/m2), and 30 patients. Results: Between 2019 and 2020, 30 gynecologic cancer patients were enrolled. No patients received bevacizumab in subsequent treatment. The most common adverse events related to cisplatin were nausea and vomiting (100%), followed by tinnitus (26.7%) and kidney injury (23.3%). Of the seven patients with kidney injury, four had persistent renal impairment, and finally progressed into chronic kidney injury. DLTs were noted only in the dose level 4 group (85 mg/m2) and included acute kidney injury, pulmonary embolism, anemia, and neutropenia. When cisplatin was given at dose level four (85 mg/m2), the isotonic estimate of the DLT rate (22%) was closest to the target DLT rate of 20%. Therefore, 85 mg/m2 was selected as the MTD, with a 51% probability that the toxicity probability was greater than the target DLT rate. Conclusions: For gynecological cancer patients who received HIPEC for peritoneal metastases, the MTD of cisplatin in HIPEC at 43°C was 85 mg/m2. Our findings apply to patients who do not receive bevacizumab (ChiCTR1900021555).
HIPEC in Peritoneal Metastasis of Gastric Origin: A Systematic Review of Regimens and Techniques. [2022](1) Background: Peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer is associated with a poor prognosis. Complete cytoreductive surgery including gastrectomy and complete removal of all peritoneal lesions followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) achieves promising results. There exists an immersive variety of approaches for HIPEC that makes it difficult to weigh different results obtained in the literature. In order to enable standardization and development of HIPEC, we here present a systematic review of different drug regimens and technical approaches. (2) Methods: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched on 26 May 2021 using the mesh terms "intraperitoneal chemotherapy AND gastric cancer". Under consideration of systematic review guidelines, articles reporting on HIPEC in combination with CRS were selected. Data on duration, drugs, dosage, and other application parameters as well as morbidity and long term survival data were extracted for subsequent statistical analysis, tabulation, and descriptive synthesis. We assessed the risk of bias due to inhomogeneity of the patient cohort and incompleteness of report of HIPEC parameters. (3) Results: Out of 1421 screened publications, 42 publications presenting data from 1325 patients met the criteria. Most of the publications were single institutional retrospective cohort studies. The most common HIPEC regimen is performed after gastrointestinal anastomosis and consists of 50-200 mg/m2 cisplatinum and 30-40 mg/m2 mytomycin C at 42-43 °C for 60-90 min in a closed abdomen HIPEC system with three tubes. Almost every study reported incompletely on HIPEC parameters. Lower rates of anastomotic leakage were reported in studies that performed HIPEC after gastrointestinal anastomosis. Studies that performed open HIPEC and integrated a two-drug regimen indicated better overall survival rates. (4) Discussion: This is an exhaustive overview of the use of drug regimens and techniques for HIPEC after CRS for gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis. Other indications and application modes of intraperitoneal chemotherapy such as prophylactic or palliative HIPEC apart from CRS were not addressed. (5) Conclusion: Complete report of HIPEC parameters should be included in every publication. A consensus for dose expression either per BSA or as flat dose is desirable for comparison of the drug regimens. Despite numerous variations, we identified the most common regimens and techniques and their advantages and disadvantages according to the data in the literature. More phase I/II studies are needed to identify the best approach for HIPEC. (6) Other: This review was not supported by third parties.
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.
Peritoneal Mesothelioma: Systematic Review of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) Protocol Outcomes. [2023]Diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM) prognosis was improved by the locoregional treatment combining cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). HIPEC is a multiparametric treatment with multiple protocols proposed and reviewed in this work. A systematic review of medical literature was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. The search strategy used "malignant peritoneal mesothelioma" and "HIPEC" as keywords in three databases. Studies were included if reporting precisely the HIPEC regimen and the related outcomes, if comparing regimen, or if reporting national/international guidelines. The GRADE methodology was used to rate the level of evidence. Twenty-eight studies were included in this review: 1 was a meta-analysis, 18 reported cohort outcomes, 4 retrospectively compared HIPEC regimens, and 5 were guidelines. Six HIPEC regimens were found, 4 with one drug (cisplatin, mitomycine-C, carboplatin, oxaliplatin), 2 using two drugs (cisplatin-doxorubicin or cisplatin-mitomycine-C). Cisplatin, up to 250 mg/m2 over 90 min, appeared as the key HIPEC drug with a toxicity profile well controlled by the concomitant intravenous perfusion of sodium thiosulfate. Comparative studies tended to show that a bi-drug regimen led to better long-term oncologic outcomes, with cisplatin 50 mg/m2 plus doxorubicin 15 mg/m2 being safe and more efficient. This late protocol was the most widely used and recommended in 3 out of 4 international guidelines. Cisplatin was the preferred drug for HIPEC in DMPM patients. Most of the time, it was combined with doxorubicin for 90 min. A harmonization of protocols and further comparative studies are needed to optimize HIPEC regimen choice.
