Prospective Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Carcinomatosis Cohort Study

Conditions
Peritoneal Carcinomatosis
Registration Number
NCT03124394
Lead Sponsor
Kantonsspital Winterthur KSW
Brief Summary

Evaluation of clinical outcome and economical aspects in the treatment of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Detailed Description

Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a dooming finding with no hope for cure and a steadily decrease in quality of life. Cytoreductive surgery with intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS HIPEC) offers a small but proven chance for cure. The implementation of a CRS HIPEC and PIPAC programme in a Swiss tertiary care hospital is evaluated.

When a patient is deemed non resectable, pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) administered laparoscopically may confer effective palliation.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Revenues90 days

At the level of individual patient Revenues in Swiss Francs as billed according to the DRG and case-mix index

Cost90 days

At the level of individual patient Cost in terms of hospital charges and expenses in Swiss Francs

Measurement of quality of life5 years

Validated measurements of health-related quality of life according to the EORTC manual in terms of general quality of life: EORTC-QLQ30; disease-specific quality of life: EORTC-CR29 (colorectal cancers), and health-utility (EQ-5D).

Cost-effectiveness90 days

Aggregation of costs, charges, and revenues for the whole series and comparison with alternative treatment option as clinically relevant, chemotherapy alone and palliative surgery alone.

Cost-utility analysis90 days

Calculation and comparison of QUALY (quality-adjusted life years derived from EQ-5D) for competing treatment strategies taking advantage of published figures and own data, e.g. cost of a systemic palliative chemotherapy compared to cost of an intraperitoneal chemotherapy
