Postoperative Chemotherapy in High-Grade Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma With Peritoneal Carcinomatosis
- Conditions
- Cancer
- Interventions
- Drug: systemic chemotherapy
- Registration Number
- NCT02420509
- Lead Sponsor
- University of California, San Diego
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out if postoperative chemotherapy in patients with high-grade appendix cancer after surgery improves outcomes.
The postoperative chemotherapy will consist of 5-FU (with leucovorin) or capecitabine with bevacizumab. These drugs are approved for use in people with colon cancer, and they are used at UCSD for some patients with appendix cancer.
The purpose of this study is to explore the safety and efficacy of the postoperative chemotherapy treatment on cancer.
- Detailed Description
This is an observational, single-cohort, prospective study of systemic chemotherapy after CRS/HIPEC. Subjects will be given twelve months of 5-FU or capecitabine with bevacizumab starting 4-16 weeks after surgery. CTRI Biostatistics Core personnel will assist in conducting analyses using the latest version of R (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria. http://www.R-project.org/).
No therapy is included in this study. Subjects have already previously undergone surgery for their cancer. This study will observe the outcomes of the postoperative chemotherapy treatment the doctor chooses to treat the subject's cancer.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Progression-Free Survival 4 years PFS will be measured from the time of the start of postoperative chemotherapy until disease progression or death during the total study period (four years)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall Survival 4 years OS will be measured from the time of the start of postoperative chemotherapy until death during the total study period (four years)
Safety and Feasibility Safety and feasibility of the chemotherapy regimen will be measured from the time of the start of postoperative chemotherapy until completion of chemotherapy (one year) Quality of Life Quality of life will be measured from prior to surgery until study completion (four years) Quality of life will be measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy, Colorectal Symptom Index (FCSI).
