Brief Title: Concomitant Intraperitoneal and Systemic Chemotherapy in Patients With Extensive Peritoneal Carcinomatosis of Gastric Origin
Official Title: Concomitant Intraperitoneal and Systemic Chemotherapy in Patients With Extensive Peritoneal Carcinomatosis of Gastric Origin
Study ID: NCT05379790
Brief Summary: Gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis has a poor prognosis, with little treatment options available. The current treatment strategy consists of palliative systemic chemotherapy. However, previous research suggests that systemic chemotherapy is less effective against peritoneal carcinomatosis than against metastases that spread hematogenously. Several studies suggested that in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IP) may be superior compared to intravenous chemotherapy. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy could lead to higher concentrations of chemotherapy in the peritoneal cavity for a longer period of time, resulting in an increased cumulative exposure to the peritoneal metastases. A few Asian studies have shown promising results with intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric origin. However, intraperitoneal chemotherapy combined with systemic chemotherapy has not been investigated in Western patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric origin yet. The objective of this trial is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intraperitoneal administration of irinotecan, added to systemic capecitabine/oxaliplatin (CAPOX) in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric origin.
