Flat Dose Vs. Weight-based IP Chemotherapy for CRS/HIPEC

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Peritoneal Carcinomatosis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04779554
Lead Sponsor
Prakash Pandalai
Brief Summary

Peritoneal carcinomatosis from advanced gastro-intestinal malignancy has historically been associated with poor overall survival (≤ 12 months) with few treatment options. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS), which involves removal of all macroscopic tumor nodules, combined with direct administration of heated intra-peritoneal (IP) chemotherapy (HIPEC) to the affected peritoneal surfaces, has been shown to be an effective treatment option that extends overall survival among certain cases of peritoneal carcinomatosis. IP chemotherapy allows delivery of a high dose of cytostatic drug directly onto the peritoneal surfaces at risk for microscopic residual disease while systemic exposure remains limited. Additionally, hyperthermia is known to enhance the cytotoxicity of several agents (including Mitomycin C) and improves the depth of peritoneal penetration.

This trial will be a randomized phase 2 comparison of flat dose versus weight-based dose Mitomycin C. The hypothesis of this study is that HIPEC weight-based dosing may result in similarly effective peritoneal Mitomycin C concentrations with less systemic absorption and potential systemic toxicity, compared with the HIPEC flat dosing approach in patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC.

GroupInterventionDescription
Flat Dose Mitomycin CMitomycin C, flat dose 40 mgParticipants in this group will receive flat doses of mitomycin C intra-operatively: 1) 30mg at minute 0 and 2) 10mg at minute 60. Mitomycin C will be delivered via HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy).
Weight-Based Mitomycin CMitomycin C, weight-based dose 12.5 mg/m2Participants in this group will receive weight-based dosing of mitomycin C intra-operatively: 1) 9 mg/m2 at minute 0 and 2) 3.5 mg/m2 at minute 60 for total dose of 12.5 mg/m2. Mitomycin C will be delivered via HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy).
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Drug Clearance (CL) - PharmacokineticsApproximately 20 hours

Drug clearance will be calculated as the volume of plasma cleared per unit time. Samples will be collected at 0,15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes intra-operatively, and 2, 4, and 12 hours postoperatively.

Drug Half-Life (T1/2) - PharmacokineticsApproximately 20 hours

Drug half-life will be calculated as the time required for the plasma Mitomycin C concentration to be half of its maximum concentration. Samples will be collected at 0,15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes intra-operatively, and 2, 4, and 12 hours postoperatively.

Area Under the Curve (AUC) - PharmacokineticsApproximately 20 hours

Drug exposure will be measured by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) or integral of a plasma concentration-time curve. Samples will be collected at 0,15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes intra-operatively, and 2, 4, and 12 hours postoperatively.
