About this study

Official title: Phase II Randomized Study: Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) With/Without Carboplatin Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) Followed by Adjuvant Chemotherapy as Initial Treatment of Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, & Primary Peritoneal Cancer

Community hospital based phase II (prospective randomized) study to evaluate the toxicity of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in newly diagnosed, otherwise untreated, advanced stage (stage III/IV) epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer.

Read the detailed description

Primary endpoints:

  • To assess the feasibility of recruitment
  • Compare complication rates between the two study arms: CRS with HIPEC and CRS alone.

Secondary endpoints:

  • To determine risk factors for morbidity and mortality
  • Assess completion rate of 6 cycles of systemic chemotherapy
  • To determine progression free survival at 24 months
  • To determine overall survival at 1, 3, and 5 years
  • Evaluate health related quality of life

Patients who meet study criteria will be randomized into one of two treatment arms: 1) cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with carboplatin-based hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) followed by IV combination chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel or 2) cytoreductive surgery (CRS) alone followed by adjuvant intraperitoneal (IP) and IV chemotherapy with combination cisplatin and paclitaxel for newly diagnosed advanced stage (stage III/IV) ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer. Both study arms will receive 6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy.

Twenty-four patients will undergo CRS with HIPEC performed by surgical and gynecologic oncologic surgeons at Mercy Medical Center, followed by systemic IV chemotherapy with carboplatin (AUC=6) and paclitaxel (175mg/m2) for 6 cycles postoperatively.

Twenty-four patients will undergo CRS only performed by surgical and gynecologic oncologic surgeons at Mercy Medical Center, followed by IV/IP chemotherapy with Day 1: IV paclitaxel (135 mg/m2), Day 2: IP cisplatin (75 mg/m2), and Day 8: IP paclitaxel (60 mg/m2) for 6 cycles postoperatively.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Post-operative complication rates

    Compare post-operative complication rates between study arms

    Measured: 30 days post-operative

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Assessment of quality of life

    FACT-O questionnaire to assess quality of life in both study arms

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks post-operative, upon completion of systemic chemotherapy, and years 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5

  2. Evaluate the rate of progression free survival

    Time from intervention to disease recurrence

    Measured: at 24 months

  3. Evaluate overall survival

    Time from intervention to death

    Measured: at 1, 3, and 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS), Adjuvant Chemotherapy and Questionnaire in people with Stage III Ovarian Cancer and Stage IV Ovarian Cancer, run by Mercy Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 21 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post-operative complication rates (time frame: 30 days post-operative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Nov 2024.
