NCT03917173

Brief Summary

This is a phase III randomized, multicenter study with two different arm:

  • experimental: prophylactic surgery plus HIPEC CO2 performed with mitomycin and cisplatin
  • comparator: standard surgery Adjuvant treatment after surgery is mandatory except for documented cases of non-eligibility in both arms. Patient will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio. Randomization will be performed during surgery if the total resection of tumor will be reached according to center and neoadjuvant chemotherapy as stratification variables.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Disease free survival

    The primary efficacy endpoint is DFS defined as the time from randomization to the date of first local relapse or distant relapse or peritoneal carcinomatosis or death for any cause, whichever comes first.

    This outcome measure will be assessed approximately 3 years after the last patient enrolled

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Overall Survival

    This outcome measure will be assessed approximately 3 years after the last patient enrolled, at the same time points of the Primary Endpoint

  • Local recurrence free survival

    This outcome measure will be assessed approximately 3 years after the last patient enrolled, at the same time points of the Primary Endpoint

  • morbidity evaluated during and after surgery

    This outcome measure will be assessed approximately 3 years after the last patient enrolled

  • post-surgery complication

    This outcome measure will be assessed approximately 3 years after the last patient enrolled

  • duration of surgery

    This outcome measure will be assessed approximately 3 years after the last patient enrolled

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with histologically documented gastric carcinoma (diffuse/intestinal histotype) eligibile for R0.
  • Presurgical or intraoperative stage T3-T4 N0-N+ primary tumour (TNM 8 th).
  • Urgent presentation: perforation without purulent generalized peritonitis
  • Positive cytology of peritoneal fluid (if previously obtained)
  • Age ≥ 18 years and ≤75 years.
  • Written informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) cancer
  • Distant metastatic disease (even if limited and completely resected)
  • Peritoneal carcinomatosis
  • History of tumor diagnosed in the 3 years before entering the study, except for topical and healed pathologies that do not need further treatment (e.g. non-melanoma skin carcinomas, superficial bladder carcinomas or in situ carcinoma of the breast or cervix).
  • Psychological, family or social conditions which may negatively affect the treatment and follow-up protocol.
  • Poor general conditions (ECOG \> 2).
  • Impaired cardiac function (history of congestive heart failure or FE \<40%). Clinically significant cardiovascular disease: cerebral vascular accident/stroke (\< 6 months prior to enrolment), unstable angina, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Classification Class \> II) or serious uncontrolled cardiac Arrhythmia requiring medication
  • Impaired renal function (creatinine\> 1.5 upper limit of normal or creatinine clearance \<60 mL / min).
  • Impaired hepatic function (AST, ALT \>2.5 upper limit of normal, bilirubin \> 1.5 upper limit of normal).
  • Impaired hematopoietic function (leucocytes \<4000 / mm3, neutrophils \<1500 / mm 3, platelets \<100000 / mm3).
  • Impaired pulmonary function (presence of COPD or other pulmonary restrictive conditions with FEV1 \<50% or DLCO \<40% of normal age value).
  • History or presence of other disease, metabolic dysfunction, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates use of HIPEC or chemotherapy or patient at high risk from treatment complications.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Krukenberg tumor
  • Refusal to join the study.
