Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Heated Intra-peritoneal Chemotherapy With Doxorubicin and Cisplatin for Abdominal for Pelvic Tumors in Pediatric Patients

Study Description

Brief Summary: This early phase I trial studies how well heated intra-peritoneal chemotherapy with doxorubicin and cisplatin work for the treatment of abdominal or pelvic tumors that can be removed by surgery (resectable), does not respond to treatment (refractory), or has come back (recurrent). Heated intra-peritoneal chemotherapy is a procedure performed in combination with abdominal surgery for cancer that has spread to the abdomen. It involves the infusion of a heated chemotherapy solution that circulates into the abdominal cavity. Chemotherapy drugs, such as doxorubicin 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. Heating a chemotherapy solution and infusing it directly into the abdomen may kill more cells.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the feasibility of heated intra-peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with doxorubicin (DOXO) and cisplatin (CDDP) after surgical resection of pediatric pelvic and abdominal tumors. II. To assess morbidity, hospital length of stay and peri-operative mortality outcomes for pediatric patients with intraperitoneal sarcoma undergoing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess complications and adverse events of HIPEC. II. Evaluate disease recurrence patterns: locoregional versus distant. III. Evaluate disease progression defined by radio-graphically visible nodules greater than 1.5 cm. OUTLINE: Patients undergo cytoreduction. Patients also undergo HIPEC over 60 minutes consisting of doxorubicin and cisplatin. Patients then receive sodium thiosulfate intravenously (IV) over 12 hours. After completion of the study treatment, patients are followed every 6 months for 5 years.
