HIPEC and Systemic Chemotherapy in Unresectable Peritoneal Metastases From Colorectal Cancer

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Peritoneal Metastases From Colorectal Cancer
Interventions
Procedure: exploratory laparoscopy or laparotomy
Procedure: HIPEC
Drug: Systemic chemotherapy
Registration Number
NCT03398512
Lead Sponsor
Wuhan University
Brief Summary

The prognosis of patients with unresectable peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer is poor. These patients may obtain survival benefit from radical colorectal resection and cytoreductive surgery (CRS). The response rates of previous conversion therapy are low. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) and systemic chemotherapy are effective methods of reducing peritoneal cancer index (PCI) levels. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of HIPEC and systemic chemotherapy in the conversion therapy of peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer.

Detailed Description

To determine the efficacy and safety of HIPEC and systemic chemotherapy in the conversion therapy of peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer, patients undergo HIPEC with Raltitrexed at the time of fist surgery and twice repeat within one week after the surgery, following 3 cycles of 3-week Oxaliplatin/Capecitabine chemotherapy. The second surgery, exploratory laparoscopy or laparotomy, is carried out one week later after the series of systemic chemotherapy.
