Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Women with history of tumor response insufficient to allow complete cytoreductive surgery after three cycles of previous neoadjuvant systemic carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy will be prospectively recruited in this trial. After signed consent and if unresectability is confirmed, patients will undergo three cycles of doxorubicin-cisplatin PIPAC chemotherapy associated with systemic carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy (alternating PIPAC and intravenous chemotherapy sessions over 3 cycles of 4 weeks).

The primary objective of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MDT).

During cycle 1, limiting dose toxicity must be collected in real time. Each patients will be treated at the dose recommended by the CRM (Continual Reassessment Method ) algorithm conditional on dose-limiting toxicity during Cycle 1.

The dose escalation will be guided by CRM to determine the recommended dose of PIPAC chemotherapy for phase II trial.

Secondary objectives are :
  • to evaluate the anatomopathological response, the radiologic tumoral response and the evolution of the peritoneal cancer extent, to the combined chemotherapy

  • to describe the pharmacokinetic of the PIPAC chemotherapy

  • to investigate the KELIM parameter as a predictive marker in the response sensitivity of the combined chemotherapy treatment

  • and to evaluate the safety of the combined chemotherapy. During the first day of the first cycle, blood samples will be collected to measure doxorubicin and cisplatin (pharmacokinetic study). Along these 3 cycles, the dose of antigen CA-125 will be performed before each chemotherapies (intraperitoneal or intravenous).

At the end of combined chemotherapy treatment, patients will undergo radiologic tumoral response by imaging assessment (scanner or MRI) and a last dosage of CA-125 will be realized..

In case of a complete / partial response / stabilization (RECIST criteria v.1.) on the imaging, re-evaluation for resectability will be done. If resectable disease, cytoreductive surgery will be programmed and a post-operative visit 1 month later will be realized. Otherwise for patients with progress disease or unresectable the participation in the study will be finished.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Combined PIPAC / IV chemotherapy treatment

Patients will undergo 3 cycles of combined chemotherapy, consisting of PIPAC (cisplatin-doxorubicin, escalating doses) and systemic chemotherapy (paclitaxel-carboplatine, standard doses). First patient will be treated at the lowest dose: doxorubicin 2.1 mg/m² and cisplatin 10.5 mg/m². Subsequent patients will be treated at the dose recommended by the CRM algorithm in the absence of dose-limiting toxicity. A total of 6 dose levels with a factor between 1 and 3 are considered. The maximum dose considered will be doxorubicin, 6.3 mg/m² and cisplatin, 31.5 mg/m². The doses of intravenous chemotherapy will be defined in a standard way, according to the habits of the investigating clinicians and in accordance with the doses received previously. Each cycle will last 28 days and will begin at day 1 with PIPAC procedure and will be completed at day 8 with systemic chemotherapy. Combined chemotherapy will be repeated every 4 weeks for up to 3 cycles in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Dose-limiting toxicities [First cycle of combined chemotherapy = day 1 up to day 28 of the first cycle]

    Dose-limiting toxicities will be defined as any of the following events observed during the first cycle of treatment and judged by the investigator to be possibly related to the treatment, based on the classification of the National Cancer Institute Common Criteria for Adverse Events Terminology (NCI CTCAE) Version 5.0 : Grade 4 Neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count <500 /mm3 (or 0.5 109/L)) ≥7 consecutive days; Neutropenia of grade ≥ 3 (absolute neutrophil count <1000 /mm3 (or 1 109/L)) and temperature ≥ 38.5°C ; Thrombocytopenia grade 4 (<25,000/mm3 platelets (or 25 109/L)) or grade 3 (< 50,000/mm3 (or 50 109/L)) associated with bleeding ; Non-hematological toxicity of grade ≥3 (excluding non-life-threatening toxicities such as alopecia, asymptomatic hypophosphatemia, etc.) despite adequate medical intervention judged by the investigator

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Rate of complete surgical resection [During cytoreductive surgery performed at the end of cycle 3 of combined chemotherapy (each cycle is 28 days), and at a maximum of 12 weeks after the third cycle of PIPAC]

    Assessed during cytoreductive surgery by the Completeness Cytoreduction (CC) score after the 3 cycles of combined chemotherapy. Complete cytoreduction refers to a CC-0 or CC-1 score whereas a CC-2 or 3 score is classified as incomplete ; CC-0 score indicates no evidence of macroscopic disease after cytoreduction, a CC-1 score indicates persisting microscopic disease (tumour nodules are < 2.5 mm), a CC-2 score indicates persisting macroscopic disease (residual tumour nodules between 2.5 mm and 2.5 cm) and finally a CC-3 score indicates tumour nodules > 2.5 cm or a confluence of unresected tumour.

  2. Proportion of complete, partial or stabilized tumor response [After completing chemotherapy treatment, at 4 to 5 weeks after the third cycle of post PIPAC (each cycle is 28 days)]

    Assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) criteria version 1.1, on thoracic abdominal pelvic imaging (scanner or MRI in case of contraindication).

  3. Peritoneal cancer index (PCI) evolution [At day 1 of the beginning of each cycle during PIPAC procedure, at 4 to 5 weeks post PIPAC cycle 3 (each cycle is 28 days) and during reevaluation laparoscopy and/or during cytoreductive surgery (12 weeks max post PIPAC cycle 3)]]

    PCI index will be evaluated under videosurveillance during laparoscopy. PCI is determined according to Sugarbaker, based on lesion size and distribution. Using a pictorial of the abdomen, each location of a 13 point list receives a peritoneal cancer grade ranging from 0 to 3. The counts for all 13 locations are then summarized as PCI.

  4. Area under the curve (AUC) for plasma concentration of DOXORUBICIN and CISPLATIN [During day 1 of the first cycle of PIPAC chemotherapy (at 0, +30 min, +1, +2, +4, +6, +7/8 and +24 hours post PIPAC), each cycle being 28 days]

    The plasma biodisponibility of the PIPAC doxorubicin and CISPLATIN (total and ultrafilterable platinum) chemotherapeutic compound will be assessed by reporting the Area under the plasma concentration- time curve.

  5. Change in CA-125 concentration [Pharmacokinetic blood samples for each cycle, each cycle being 28 days (at day 1 for PIPAC chemotherapy; at day 8 for systemic chemotherapy) and before post-treatment laparoscopy at 4-5 weeks after the third PIPAC)]

    CA-125 evolution profile will be monitored during chemotherapy and before surgery of reevaluation at post-treatment visit. Then, mathematical modeling of CA-125 elimination rate KELIM will be calculated from individual CA-125 levels.

  6. Rates of adverse events and operative complications [Up to 8 months after inclusion]

    Adverse events according to the NCI CTCAE v5.0 classification (including toxicities) and per- and post-operative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.
