About this study

Official title: Clinical pharmacoloGy of platinUm-based hyperThermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy: Exploration of the Impact of Flushing on tumOur, Systemic and Personnel eXposure (GUTOX)

Currently, there is a lack of knowledge on the effect of additional flushing after HIPEC on tumour platinum exposure, systemic platinum exposure and platinum concentration in drain exudate and thereby personal exposure. Therefore the investigators want to perform a study to investigate the effect of flushing after HIPEC on tumour exposure, systemic exposure and on wound exudate concentration.

Read the detailed description

Cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is standard care in the treatment of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis as a result of intra-abdominal cancers. In many (inter)national centres oxaliplatin is used for the primary HIPEC treatment. Although the oxaliplatin dose of 460mg/m2 is widely accepted, the exact procedure of HIPEC differs between institutions and surgeons. Due to a great variety in the volume of the abdominal cavity, platinum concentration in the perfusate might differ between patients. Moreover, there is no consensus about the usefulness of flushing the HIPEC system with crystalloids at the end of oxaliplatin administration. Flushing is predominantly performed with the idea to minimize both systemic exposure of ultrafilterable platinum and personnel exposure to platinum contaminated exudate. On the other hand, HIPEC without flushing might increase effectiveness because intraperitoneal tumour cells are exposed to high concentrations of oxaliplatin for a longer time period. The option of flushing is based on an individual preference of the surgeon. Currently, there is a lack of knowledge on the effect of flushing on tumour platinum exposure, systemic platinum exposure and platinum concentration in drain exudate and thereby personal exposure. Therefore the investigators want to perform a study to investigate the effect of flushing after HIPEC on tumour exposure, systemic exposure and on wound exudate concentration.

What is being measured

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

  1. change in tissue platinum exposure before and after flushing

    Change in tissue platinum exposure of non-tumour peritoneal tissue sample before and after flushing with saline

    Measured: immediately after the oxaliplatin instillate solution is withdrawn from the abdominal cavity and immediately after additional flushing is performed. This takes all place within 1 hour after the start of HIPEC.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. wound exudate platinum concentration

    platinum concentration in wound exudate samples will be measured in the drains

    Measured: until day 3 post-HIPEC

  2. systemic exposure of total and unbound platinum

    systemic exposure of total and unbound platinum will be measured using 13 blood samples

    Measured: until day 3 post-HIPEC

  3. total and unbound platinum concentration in instillate

    total and unbound platinum concentration in instillate will be measured in 3 samples of instillate solution that will be obtained during the HIPEC procedure

    Measured: all samples will be taken within 30 minutes during the HIPEC procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peritoneal Carcinomatosis, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 5 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Oct 2020. 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 Netherlands. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

change in tissue platinum exposure before and after flushing (time frame: immediately after the oxaliplatin instillate solution is withdrawn from the abdominal cavity and immediately after additional flushing is performed. This takes all place within 1 hour after the start of HIPEC.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03364907, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Oct 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
