HIPEC for Advanced Stomach Cancer

Phase 2
Recruiting
Led By Kiran Turaga, MD
Research Sponsored by University of Chicago
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Age ≥18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of HIPEC for GC/PM in patients under 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but will be eligible for future pediatric trials
Patients with histologically confirmed GC/PM only and/or positive peritoneal cytology, who have completed prior systemic chemotherapy for a minimum of 2 to 4 months duration
Must not have
History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to cisplatin and Mitomycin C
Pregnant women are excluded from this study because cisplatin and Mitomycin C are class D agents with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with cisplatin and Mitomycin C, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with cisplatin and Mitomycin C.

Summary

This trial looks at whether a certain type of chemotherapy can help to increase the expression of a protein called PD-L1 in stomach cancer that has spread to the abdomen.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with advanced gastric cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. They must have completed at least 2-4 months of chemotherapy, have good kidney and liver function, not be severely ill from other causes, and cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding. People with HIV or hepatitis are eligible if their viral loads are undetectable.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether heating chemotherapy drugs (Cisplatin and Mitomycin) inside the abdomen after surgery can make immune markers go up in stomach cancer cells more than just giving chemo through a vein. This technique is called HIPEC.
What are the potential side effects?
HIPEC treatment may cause side effects like kidney damage, blood cell count changes leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and potential harm to an unborn child.
