Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer and Peritoneal Metastasis

A Phase II Study of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) for Patients With Pancreatic Cancer and Peritoneal Metastasis

Sponsor

Mayo Clinic

Enrollment

40 participants

Start Date

Feb 15, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Metastatic Pancreatic Carcinoma Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer AJCC v8 Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Peritoneum

Summary

This phase II trial studies the effects of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to the internal abdominal area (peritoneal metastasis). Chemotherapy drugs, such as nab-paclitaxel and cisplatin, 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. HIPEC involves "heated" chemotherapy that is placed directly in the abdomen through laparoscopic instruments, instead of through an intravenous injection. This study may help doctors determine how safe and effective HIPEC work in treating patient with pancreatic cancer.

Inclusion Criteria13

Age >= 18 but =< 80
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2
Cytologic or histologic proof of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas
Leukocytes >= 3,000/uL
Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/uL
Platelets >= 60,000/Ul
Serum creatinine =< 1.5 mg/dL
Distant metastatic disease of peritoneum may be visualized on imaging:
Positive peritoneal cytology
Limited carcinomatosis on diagnostic laparoscopy or laparotomy
KRASD assay positive peritoneal washings/cytology
Completion of preoperative systemic chemotherapy with biochemical, metabolic, and/or radiographic response defined as a reduction in the baseline CA 19-9 by > 50% or radiographic response as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 or metabolic response on positron emission tomography (PET)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) defined by PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST) criteria

Exclusion Criteria6

Distant metastatic disease not limited to peritoneum:
Solid organ metastases (liver, central nervous system, lung)
Infections such as pneumonia or wound infections that would preclude protocol therapy
Women with a positive urine or serum pregnancy test are excluded from this study; women of childbearing potential (defined as those who have not undergone a hysterectomy or who have not been postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months) must agree to refrain from breast feeding and practice adequate contraception as specified in the informed consent. Adequate contraception consists of oral contraceptive, implantable contraceptives, injectable contraceptives, a double barrier method, or abstinence
Subjects deemed unable to comply with study and/or follow-up procedures
Subjects with a known hypersensitivity to protocol systemic chemotherapy that was life-threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, or resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity
