Laparoscopic Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemoperfusion (HIPEC) for Metastatic Gastric Cancer

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Gastrointestinal Cancer

In brief

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) will help to control the disease in patients with Stage 4 stomach or gastroesophageal cancer. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

• Cytologic or histologic proof of adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction.
• Adequate renal, and bone marrow function: a. Leukocytes >/= 3,000/microL; b. Absolute neutrophil count >/= 1,500/microL; c. Platelets >/= 100,000/Ul; d. Serum creatinine </= 1.5 mg/dL.
• Hepatic function: AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) </= 5 X institutional (Upper Limit of Normal) ULN.
• Distant Metastatic Disease limited to peritoneum and radiologically occult (not visualized on preoperative imaging to include [Computerized Tomography] CT scan, Ultrasound, [Magnetic Resonance Imaging] MRI, PET/CT): a.

• Any distant metastatic disease visualized on preoperative imaging: a. Solid organ metastases; b. Clear radiologic evidence of carcinomatosis.
• Infections such as pneumonia or wound infections that would preclude protocol therapy.
• 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.
