Condition

Fever

Digestive System Neoplasms

Treatment

Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) with Cisplatin + Systemic AG Chemotherapy

Clinical Study ID

NCT06946901
ZSPAC-09
  • Ages 18-80
  • All Genders

Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy combined with intravenous chemotherapy in peritoneal metastatic pancreatic cancer. The main question it aims to answer are:

(1) Does this combined approach increase 1-year survival rates? and (2) What is the safety profile of this treatment regimen?

Participants will:

undergo baseline imaging and surgical exploration to confirm peritoneal metastasis, receive two cycles of intraperitoneal cisplatin HIPEC (70mg/m²) postoperatively, followed by systemic AG chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine), with treatment adjustments based on regular imaging assessments and multidisciplinary team (MDT) recommendations.

  • Confirmed peritoneal metastasis by imaging or intraoperative detection, with rapidintraoperative histopathology indicating metastatic adenocarcinoma;

  • No prior anti-tumor therapy before treatment, including systemic chemotherapy,interventional chemotherapy, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), radiotherapy,immunotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, or traditional Chinese medicineanti-tumor treatments;

  • History of hypersensitivity to the study drugs or medications with similar chemicalstructures;

  • Patients requiring long-term warfarin anticoagulation therapy;

  • Poor compliance, inability or unwillingness to provide signed informed consent;

  • Patients likely to be lost to follow-up for ≥14 days during the treatment period.
