Brief Title: HIPEC and Systemic Chemotherapy Combined With Apatinib in Unresectable Peritoneal Metastases From Gastric Cancer
Official Title: A Study of Conversion Therapy Using Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemoperfusion (HIPEC) and Systemic Oxaliplatin/S1 Chemotherapy Combined With Apatinib in Unresectable Peritoneal Metastases From Gastric Cancer
Study ID: NCT03349827
Brief Summary: The prognosis of patients with unresectable peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer is poor. These patients may obtain survival benefit from radical gastrectomy and cytoreductive surgery (CRS). The response rates of previous conversion therapy are low. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) and systemic chemotherapy are effective methods of reducing peritoneal cancer index (PCI) levels. Apatinib, a novel targeted inhibitor of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2), shows significant antitumor activity in the patients with gastric cancer. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of HIPEC and systemic chemotherapy combined with Apatinib in the conversion therapy of peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer.
Detailed Description: To determine the efficacy and safety of HIPEC and systemic chemotherapy combined with Apatinib in the conversion therapy of peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer, patients undergo HIPEC with Docetaxel/ Lobaplatin at the time of fist surgery and twice repeat within one week after the surgery, following 2 cycles of 3-week Oxaliplatin/S1 chemotherapy combined with Apatinib and 1 cycles of 3-week Oxaliplatin/S1 chemotherapy. The second surgery, exploratory laparoscopy or laparotomy, is carried out one week later after the series of systemic chemotherapy.
