About this trial

The aim of this study is to assess whether there are differences in PERITONEAL RECURRENCE in patients with Colon Cancer Peritoneal Metastases treated with complete surgical resection and systemic chemotherapy, with (Group 1) or without (Group 2) HIPEC with Mitomycin-C.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Histologically confirmed colon adenocarcinoma, except signet ring cell carcinomas (those with > 50% of the tumor composed of these cells, which comprise only 1% of all colon adenocarcinomas).

Absence of previously treated or current extraperitoneal metastases, including distant lymphadenopathy (retroperitoneal, mediastinal, etc), liver metastases, or lung metastases (ruled out by PET-scan in case of doubt).

Synchronous or metachronous peritoneal metastasis of mild to moderate volume, with a PCI ≤ 20 (Appendix 2) (intraoperative confirmation).

Macroscopically complete surgical cytoreduction CCS-0 (intraoperative confirmation).

Disqualifiers

Peritoneal carcinomatosis of any other origin, particularly rectal cancer or appendicular adenocarcinoma, or signet ring cell colon cancer on histology.

No intraoperative confirmation of peritoneal disease (PCI 0). Likewise, cases of perianastomotic (local) or lymph node (locoregional) recurrences will be excluded.

High volume peritoneal disease with a PCI> 20 (intraoperative evaluation).

Concurrent or previously treated extraperitoneal disease.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • complete cytoreductive surgery plus HIPEC with Mytomicin C for 90 minutes

    Drug

    In the arm with HIPEC, this will be performed with Mytomicin C, at a dose of 35 mg/m2 in peritoneal dialysis solution (2 liter/m2) for 90 minutes, with dose fractionation: 50% min 0, 25% min 30, 25% min 60

  • complete cytoreductive surgery without HIPEC

    Procedure/Surgery

    in the arm without HIPEC, only complete cytoreductive surgery will be performed

Treatment groups

216 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: complete cytoreductive surgery plus HIPEC with Mytomicin C for 90 minutesActive comparator 1 intervention
Group B: complete cytoreductive surgery without HIPECExperimental treatment 1 intervention
