About this trial

Clinicians postulate that it may be interesting to combine the two IntraPeritoneal (IP) treatments associated with a significant improvement of OC overall survival i.e. cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC) as an " intensive peritoneal " regimen in the initial management of stages III-IVA ovarian cancers. Performing a postoperative IPC may allow completing and extending the duration of the effect of HIPEC in decreasing the risk of peritoneal recurrence. HIPEC may also allow administering an early IP treatment on the residual microscopic disease during initial or interval surgery with an optimal access to the intraperitoneal cavity. Postoperative IPC will extend the HIPEC effect on unsterilized peritoneal microscopic residues with the aim of decreasing the risk of local recurrence. Performing HIPEC before IPC could allow limiting the number of postoperative IP courses needed. Nevertheless, this association questions its feasibility and tolerance, which should both be assessed in a phase II trial. Clinicians propose to conduct this feasibility study combining for the first time HIPEC with IPC as first-line treatment of ovarian cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis to perform a peritoneal intensification.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients aged 18 to 75 years,

Patients with high-grade serous (high grade according to MD Anderson, grade II and III according to Silverman) ovarian or tubal or primitive peritoneal histologically proven cancer,

Initial laparoscopy confirming the histological type, evaluating the extent of the disease by PCI score and confirming the initial non-resectability,

Stage III B-C (FIGO 2014) or stage IVA with minimal or moderate pleural effusion (measured on a thoracic CT scanner, the largest thickness of which is less than 3 cm),

Disqualifiers

Performance Index (WHO) ≥ 2,

Stage IV B or IV A with significant pleural effusion (measured on a thoracic CT scanner, the largest thickness of which is more than 3 cm),

Renal impairment (clearance <70 ml / min) according to the MDRD method,

General contraindication to the realization of a tumor reduction surgery or HIPEC (contraindication or history allergic reaction to any treatments components),

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Intraperitoneal chemotherapy during surgery

    Drug

    During interval surgery the patient will undergo HIPEC (Cisplatin 100mg/m2, 1h 30 infusions with sodium thiosulfate renal protection). They will then receive postoperative IPC i.e intravenous and intraperitoneal administration (IV Paclitaxel, 135mg/m2 on D1, IP Carboplatin, AUC 6 on D1, and IP Paclitaxel, 60mg/m2 on D8) with at least 3 courses performed (up to 4-6 allowed).
