About this study

Official title: Adjuvant Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Guided by the Detection of Cancer Cell DNA in Peritoneal Lavage Fluid in Patients With Gastric Cancer: an Open-label, Phase 2 Trial

Peritoneal metastasis is a major pattern of gastric cancer recurrence and predicts poor prognosis. In our previous study, we developed a next-generation sequencing technology to detect minimal residual cancer cells in peritoneal lavage fluid with a personalized assay profiling tumor-specific mutations in patients with gastric cancer. With this technology, we predicted all the cases that developed peritoneal metastasis in patients with pT4 disease with 100% sensitivity and 91% specificity. Based on this result, a prospective phase 2 clinical trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy of adjuvant intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with positive cancer cell DNA detected in peritoneal lavage fluid by our personalized tumor-specific mutation profiling assay.

Read the detailed description

Introduction:

Peritoneal metastasis is the most common pattern of gastric cancer recurrence and leads to rapid death. In a previous study, our team established a personalized method which could detect minimal cancer cell DNA in peritoneal lavage fluid with high sensitivity and specificity. We intend to perform a clinical trial to explore the efficacy of intraperitoneal chemotherapy on reducing the incidence of peritoneal metastases in patients with high risk defined by our personalized mutation detection method.

Methods and analysis:

This is a single-arm and single-center clinical trial. Sixty-eight patients with clinical T4 stage gastric cancers will be expected to be enrolled. During surgery, surgeons will wash upper abdominal cavity with 300-400 mL of normal saline before any manipulation of the tumor and collect about 200 mL peritoneal lavage fluid. Cancer cell DNA in peritoneal lavage fluid will be detected by next-generation sequencing using a personalized tumor-specific mutation profiling assay. Patients with positive peritoneal lavage fluid cancer cell DNA will receive adjuvant intraperitoneal chemotherapy in the second month since surgery, then followed by standard adjuvant systemic chemotherapy.

The primary endpoint is the incidence of peritoneal metastasis, and the secondary endpoints include peritoneal metastasis-free survival, disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and the safety of intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

This trial has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the National Cancer Center/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College.

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of peritoneal metastasis

    The incidence of peritoneal metastasis.

    Measured: Two years after surgery.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Peritoneal metastasis-free survival

    The time from surgery to peritoneal metastasis.

    Measured: Two years after surgery.

  2. Disease-free survival

    The time from surgery to either recurrence or relapse of cancer, or death.

    Measured: Three years after surgery.

  3. Overall survival

    The time from surgery to death or the last follow-up date.

    Measured: Three years after surgery.

  4. The safety

    Adverse event and complications related to intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Adverse event is defined by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)5.0. Complications will be recorded and graded according to the modified Clavien-Dindo classification.

    Measured: Ninety days after surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Intraperitoneal chemotherapy and Adjuvant systemic chemotherapy in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences at 1 site in China.

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 0 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Aug 2022. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Chunxia Du, M.D. (+86-010-87788130, retinadcx@vip.163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The incidence of peritoneal metastasis (time frame: Two years after surgery.). 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 11 Aug 2022.
