Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer and Peritoneal Metastasis

Study Description

Brief Summary: This phase II trial studies the effects of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to the internal abdominal area (peritoneal metastasis). Chemotherapy drugs, such as nab-paclitaxel 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. HIPEC involves "heated" chemotherapy that is placed directly in the abdomen through laparoscopic instruments, instead of through an intravenous injection. This study may help doctors determine how safe and effective HIPEC work in treating patient with pancreatic cancer.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate overall survival and disease-free survival outcomes for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma with limited low volume peritoneal metastasis or positive peritoneal cytology undergoing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess morbidity for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma with limited low volume peritoneal metastasis or positive peritoneal cytology undergoing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. OUTLINE: Patients undergo HIPEC with nab-paclitaxel and cisplatin over 90 minutes in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may undergo additional HIPEC with paclitaxel and cisplatin up to 5 times. Patients undergo computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET) during screening. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months.
