Adjuvant Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer

April 10, 2019 updated by: Maheswari Senthil, Loma Linda University
The purpose of this study is to determine safety and feasibility of adjuvant hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with mitomycin and cisplatin in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer undergoing standard surgical resection. Patients will be treated with HIPEC using a single dose of mitomycin 15mg/m2 and cisplatin 50mg/m2 at 41-42 C for 90 minutes, during the definitive surgical resection for gastric cancer. HIPEC will be performed after resection but before anastomosis.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Treatment Plan:

Patients undergoing definitive resection for gastric cancer and meeting the eligibility criteria will be treated with HIPEC using a single dose of Mitomycin 15mg/m2 and Cisplatin 50mg/m2 at 41-42 C for 90 minutes. HIPEC will be performed after resection but before anastomosis. Both Cisplatin and Mitomycin are commercially available chemotherapeutic agents and will be obtained as marketed drugs.

Outcome Measures:

Patients will be followed for 90 days following surgery. All postoperative complications will be recorded and graded according to the modified Clavien-Dindo classification.

Schedule for Follow Up:

Trial-related patient assessments will be performed daily while the patient remains in the hospital for postoperative care, and then during postoperative clinic visits. The final postoperative clinic visit for evaluation of study outcomes and complications should occur between postoperative days 90 and 95 to allow for a cumulative assessment of the patient's perioperative complications, if any.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: HIPEC
The administration of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), using a warm solution of two chemotherapy medications (mitomycin and cisplatin) to bathe the internal surfaces of the abdomen in an attempt to kill any microscopic cancer cells that might be present on these surfaces.
Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a procedure in which the internal parts of the abdomen are bathed in a warm solution of anti-cancer medications for 90 minutes.
