Official title
Phase II Trial of Heated Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy and Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer With Positive Peritoneal Cytology
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Background: \- Gastric cancer is a common and serious cancer. Standard treatment is chemotherapy drugs. Researchers want to see if a new treatment helps. It is surgical removal of the cancer and heated chemotherapy delivered to the abdominal cavity called Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Objective: \- To test if surgical removal of tumors plus heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy can improve survival in people with gastric cancers. Eligibility: \- People ages 18 and older with gastric cancer who can have most tumors surgically removed Design: * Participants will be screened with: * Medical history * Physical exam * Blood, urine, and heart tests * Scans * Tissue sample from previous surgery * Endoscopy with biopsy: A tube with a camera goes through the mouth and into the stomach. It and takes a sample of stomach tissue. Participants may get medicine to make them drowsy. * Laparoscopy: Small cuts are made in the abdomen. A thin tube with a light and camera is inserted into the abdomen. Participants sleep through the procedure. Participants will stay in the hospital. They will have: * Surgery to remove as many tumors as possible. * HIPEC for 60 minutes: Two thin tubes are put into the abdomen. Two chemotherapy drugs are given through one tube. They are drained out through another at a temperature a few degrees above normal body temperature. Another drug is given in a vein. * Recovery for 7-21 days: Participants will have tubes in their stomach and bladder and intravenous (IVs) for a few days. They will get pain medicine, IV fluids, antibiotics, and blood transfusions as needed. * Participants will have visits every few months for 3 years, then one a year. Visits include physical exam, blood tests, and scans. They also include dietary assessment and questions.
