Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: cohort A
Cohort A: For patients that have indication for systemic therapy with standard chemotherapy. This cohort has a phase II design; the Objective Response Rate (ORR) will be evaluated according to the RECIST criteria (version 1.1) after 2 and 3 cycles of PIPAC with Cisplatin (7.5 mg/m²) + Doxorubicin (1.5 mg/m2 ) or Oxaliplatin (92 mg/m2) according to the primary cancer, in association with standard systemic chemotherapy.
Drug: Pressurized IntraPeritoneal Air-flow Chemotherapy (PIPAC) fixed repeated dose
An open access with a midline 5-6 cm incision is performed and a single-port platform is positioned. A 12 mm Hg CO2 pneumoperitoneum is inflated. PC extent is evaluated according to Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) and peritoneal biopsies are taken. A nebulizer is connected to an intravenous high-pressure injector and inserted into the peritoneal cavity; the tightness of the abdomen has to be documented with a CO2 zero-flow. The laparoscopic camera and the nebulizer are maintained in position by a self-retaining retractor (Thompson). A pressurized aerosol containing drugs is delivered. Standard dosage of drugs for each PIPAC: Cisplatin (7.5 mg/m²) + Doxorubicin (1.5 mg/m²) or Oxaliplatin (92 mg/m²) The capnoperitoneum is then maintained for 30 minutes at 37°C. At the end, the aerosol is exsufflated through two sequential micro-particle filters into the air-waste system of the hospital.
Other Names:
  • Cisplatin + Doxorubicin in ovarian, gastric cancer and in primary peritoneal tumors; or Oxaliplatin in colorectal cancer
Experimental: cohort B
Cohort B: For patients that have not indication for systemic therapy with standard chemotherapy. This cohort has a phase I design; with a dose-escalation design the maximum tolerated doses and recommended doses of Cisplatin + Doxorubicin and Oxaliplatin (according to the pathology) administered through PIPAC in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis will be evaluated.
Drug: Pressurized IntraPeritoneal Air-flow Chemotherapy (PIPAC) increasing single dose
An open access with a midline 5-6 cm incision is performed and a single-port platform is positioned. A 12 mm Hg CO2 pneumoperitoneum is inflated. PC extent is evaluated according to Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) and peritoneal biopsies are taken. A nebulizer is connected to an intravenous high-pressure injector and inserted into the peritoneal cavity; the tightness of the abdomen has to be documented with a CO2 zero-flow. The laparoscopic camera and the nebulizer are maintained in position by a self-retaining retractor (Thompson). A pressurized aerosol containing drugs is delivered. Escalating dosage of drugs for PIPAC: Cisplatin + Doxorubicin (from 15 mg/m² + 3 mg/m² to 100 mg/m² + 30 mg/m²) or Oxaliplatin (from 92 mg/m² to 300mg/m²).The capnoperitoneum is then maintained for 30 minutes at 37°C. At the end, the aerosol is exsufflated through two sequential micro-particle filters.
Other Names:
  • Cisplatin + Doxorubicin in ovarian, gastric cancer and in primary peritoneal tumors; or Oxaliplatin in colorectal cancer

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.
