About this trial

This is a pilot study gathering and using samples and data from patients with gastrointestinal peritoneal carcinomatosis. Participants will be asked for permission to provide blood and ascites/peritoneal wash fluid, tumor samples during their planned surgical procedure.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients must have a GI tumor

Must have planned standard of care surgical procedure

Age ≥ 18 years.

Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent

Disqualifiers

None

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Biospecimen Collection (Blood, Ascites/Peritoneal Wash Fluid and/or Tumor Samples)

    Other intervention

    Subjects with a known diagnosis of GI primary tumor with or without PC, with a planned standard of care surgery.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Establishment of angioarchitechture of peritoneal lesions through Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA)

Establishment and evaluation of angioarchitecture of peritoneal lesions through OCTA imaging obtained during surgery.

Time frame
Up to 4 years
2

Development of individual patient-derived peritoneal carcinomatosis (pdPC) vascularized micro-tumor (VMT)

Successful establishment of multicellular pdPC VMT models from metastatic and/or primary tumor tissue with increasing tumor volume over a 14 day period.

Time frame
Up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Compare response of therapeutic regimens in a pdPC VMT to the observed clinical response (by RECIST criteria or diagnostic laparoscopy)

Response to therapy in a pdPC VMT will be correlated with the clinical response observed in patients treated with similar regimens using either RECIST criteria if measurable disease is available or by diagnostic laparoscopy performed as part of standard of care to assess treatment response

Time frame
Up to 4 years
2

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) at 6 months

Survival analysis will utilized to study association between in vitro model and patient clinical response. Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first. Estimates at 6 months will be made.

Time frame
6 months
3

Overall Survival (OS)

Survival analysis will utilized to study association between in vitro model and patient clinical response. The duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
Up to 4 years
