Clinical Trial on HIPEC With Mitomycin C in Colon Cancer Peritoneal Metastases (GECOP-MMC) (GECOP-MMC)

September 22, 2023 updated by: Fernando Pereira, Hospital Universitario de Fuenlabrada

Phase IV Multicentric Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) With Mytomicin-C After Complete Surgical Cytoreduction in Patients With Colon Cancer Peritoneal Metastases

The aim of this study is to assess whether there are differences in PERITONEAL RECURRENCE in patients with Colon Cancer Peritoneal Metastases treated with complete surgical resection and systemic chemotherapy, with (Group 1) or without (Group 2) HIPEC with Mitomycin-C.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

CytoReductive Surgery (CRS) + Hyperthermic IntraPEritoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC), especially from the year 2000 onwards, has obtained unprecedented results in patients with low to moderate volume peritoneal metastases (PM) of colorectal cancer (CRC), so that it has gradually been accepted, even being considered the best treatment for these patients. However, the actual role of HIPEC as a necessary component of treatment is unknown, despite its proven experimental basis. The French PRODIGE 7 study, presented at ASCO in 2018 and published on January 2021, has raised doubts about the survival benefit of HIPEC. In this study, there was no difference in overall survival (OS) with or without HIPEC (with Oxaliplatin 30 minutes) after resection of PM-CRC. However, since its presentation, several methodological flaws have been identified: a short exposure time to Oxaliplatin, an overestimation of the effect of HIPEC on OS (18 months) considered for the sample calculation, or the choice of OS as the main endpoint (since HIPEC can reduce peritoneal relapses, while OS is also influenced by the systemic treatment received by all patients). Due to these shortcomings and some others, the results have not been assumed to be definitive. Therefore, the majority of units specialized in peritoneal surface malignancy, continue to consider HIPEC in these patients as a recommended option, usually changing Oxaliplatin for Mitomycin-C (MMC). With these premises we propose this multicenter Clinical Trial, correcting the retrospective defects of PRODIGE 7. To do this, the cytostatic used in HIPEC will be changed (MMC instead of oxaliplatin), the infusion time will be increased (from 30 to 90 minutes), rectal cancers are ruled out (only colon cancers will be included), cases with high peritoneal extension (PCI> 20) will be avoided, those cases in which a complete CRS (CCS 0) is not achieved will be excluded, and the main objective will be the Peritoneal Recurrence Free Survival (RFS) instead of the OS.

Quality of Life with EORTC validated questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30)
Time Frame: pre-surgery, at the end of postoperative SCT (an average 4-6 months), at 12 months and at 24 months
The QLQ-CR29 is a supplementary questionnaire module to be employed in conjunction with the QLQ-C30. In fact, their numbering is consecutive (the last item of QLQ-C30 is number 30, being the first item of QLQ-CR29 number 31). Both have function and symptom scales/single-items. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. A high score for the functional scale and functional single-items represents a high level of functioning, whereas a high score for the symptom scales and symptom single-items represents a high level of symptomatology or problems.
