About this study

This study will investigate the tumor-associated vasculature of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, or cancer that spreads along the inner abdominal lining. The investigators will use a technology known as intravital microscopy (IVM) in order to visualize in real-time the tumor-associated vessels of peritoneal disease. The IVM observations may determine if an individual patient's tumor vessels would be amenable to receiving systemic therapy, based on the functionality of the vessels.

Read the detailed description

Primary objective(s): To determine the feasibility and clinical utility of performing HIVM in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis during standard course of treatment (cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, or CRS-HIPEC).

Secondary objective(s):

  1. Compare the microscopic observation of the tumor-associated vessels with normal tissue (peritoneal surface) in each individual subject.
  2. Correlate the microscopic observations of the tumor-associated vessels with pathologic grade of tumor implants.
  3. Correlate the microscopic observation of the microvasculature with tumor-specific and overall survival.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor vessel identification (# tumor vessels visualized per high power field)

    Identify and measure vessels associated with peritoneal tumor implants

    Measured: 15-20 minutes

  2. Tumor vessel density (# tumor vessels per square cm area observed)

    Determine vessel density per 10x field

    Measured: 15-20 minutes

  3. Fluorescent dye uptake (# tumor vessels with fluorescent dye uptake and # tumor vessels without dye uptake)

    Visualize vital dyes within the vessels [fluorescein and indocyanine green (ICG)]

    Measured: 15-20 minutes

  4. Tumor blood flow (velocity, mm/sec)

    Calculate the blood flow velocity of the vessels and tissue penetration of fluorescent dyes as markers of vessel permeability.

    Measured: 15-20 minutes

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Post-operative comparison of the microvasculature of peritoneal carcinomatosis with normal tissue (peritoneum)

    The investigators will compare the microvasculature of peritoneal carcinomatosis with normal tissue (peritoneum) in each individual subject using vessel characteristics (diameters, vessel density, detection of intravital dye and flow rates).

    Measured: 15-20 minutes

  2. Post-operative correlation of the microvasculature with pathologic features of the tumor implants (i.e. tumor grade) at the time of the final pathology report (5-7 days after surgery).

    The investigators will determine if there is a correlation between the microvasculature with pathologic features of the tumor implants (i.e. tumor grade) at the time of the final pathology report (5-7 days after surgery).

    Measured: 5-7 days

  3. Post-operative correlation of the microscopic observation of the tumor microvasculature tumor-specific and overall survival.

    The investigators will determine if there is a correlation between the microscopic observation of the tumor microvasculature tumor-specific and overall survival.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Human Intravital Microscopy in people with Peritoneal Carcinomatosis, run by Mayo Clinic 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 19 Jan 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.

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?

Tumor vessel identification (# tumor vessels visualized per high power field) (time frame: 15-20 minutes). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03517852, which also lists 22 linked publications.

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 Jan 2024.
