Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer and Peritoneal Metastasis

A Phase II Study of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) for Patients With Pancreatic Cancer and Peritoneal Metastasis

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Oct 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

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.

What you commit to

  • Study type: Interventional · Phase 2
  • Planned participants: 40
  • From 15 Feb 2024 to the primary completion date, 30 Sept 2030
  • 1 site in 1 country
  • Visits and tests: ask the trial team, the registry does not list them

Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Other illness

  • Distant metastatic disease not limited to peritoneum:
    • Solid organ metastases (liver, central nervous system, lung)
  • Infections such as pneumonia or wound infections that would preclude protocol therapy
  • Subjects with a known hypersensitivity to protocol systemic chemotherapy that was life-threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, or resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity

Lab values

  • Women with a positive urine or serum pregnancy test are excluded from this study; women of childbearing potential (defined as those who have not undergone a hysterectomy or who have not been postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months) must agree to refrain from breast feeding and practice adequate contraception as specified in the informed consent. Adequate contraception consists of oral contraceptive, implantable contraceptives, injectable contraceptives, a double barrier method, or abstinence

Other

  • Subjects deemed unable to comply with study and/or follow-up procedures

Who the study is looking for

  • Age \>= 18 but =\< 80
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =\< 2
  • Cytologic or histologic proof of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas
  • Leukocytes \>= 3,000/uL
  • Absolute neutrophil count \>= 1,500/uL
  • Platelets \>= 60,000/Ul
  • Serum creatinine =\< 1.5 mg/dL
  • Distant metastatic disease of peritoneum may be visualized on imaging:
    • Positive peritoneal cytology
    • Limited carcinomatosis on diagnostic laparoscopy or laparotomy
    • KRASD assay positive peritoneal washings/cytology
  • Completion of preoperative systemic chemotherapy with biochemical, metabolic, and/or radiographic response defined as a reduction in the baseline CA 19-9 by \> 50% or radiographic response as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 or metabolic response on positron emission tomography (PET)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) defined by PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST) criteria
  • Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Index (PCI) =\< 7 and surgeons deems high likelihood for a complete cytoreduction

Age in the registry: 18 years to 80 years · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
