Phase 1 Study of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Gastric Cancer

Title: Adjuvant Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer¹

Principal Investigator: Maheswari Senthil, MD, Loma Linda University Cancer Center

Description: For this open-label phase 1 study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02672865), researchers are evaluating the feasibility and safety of adjuvant hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer.

Eligible patients will have their abdominal cavity bathed in a 40° to 42° Celsius solution of mitomycin 15 mg/m² and cisplatin 50 mg/m² for 90 minutes after surgical resection.

The primary outcome is post-operative complications, for which patients will be monitored for 90 days. A modified Clavien-Dindo classification will be used to grade any complications that occur.

The estimated study enrollment is 15 patients.
