Radical Gastrectomy and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) in Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Malignant Neoplasm of Stomach
Registration Number
NCT02528110
Lead Sponsor
Wuhan University
Brief Summary

The efficacy of HIPEC in prevention of local recurrence, distant metastasis or peritoneal metastasis in locally advanced gastric cancer is not definite. The hypothesis of the trial is that radical gastrectomy plus HIPEC is superior to only radical gastrectomy in terms of overall survival.

Detailed Description

To determine the efficacy of HIPEC in the treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer, patients are randomized into HIPEC group and control group. In HIPEC group, the patients undergo radical gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy and HIPEC with paclitaxel and 5-Fu. Patients in the control group just undergo radical gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. Patients in both groups receive 6 cycles of postoperative chemotherapy (SOX or XELOX) and are followed up for 5 years or until death.

The trial is designed as a prospective, randomized, open, multicenter and parallel group study.
