Official Title: Effects of High Intra-abdominal Pressure on Tissue Diffusion and Pharmacokinetics of Cisplatin During HIPEC

Brief Summary:

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a promising therapy for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of various origins. Rather than the pharmacokinetic advantage, the uptake of chemotherapy by tumor tissue has been proposed as the best pharmacologic endpoint to assure the efficacy of HIPEC.

The primary endpoints of the present phase II randomized study are to test whether the increased intra abdominal pressure (IAP) during HIPEC could:

  • enhance the penetration of cisplatin into the residual neoplastic and normal tissues;
  • elicit changes on pharmacokinetic advantage of cisplatin.

Secondary endpoints are to evaluate the:

  • impact of high IAP on intraoperatory hemodynamic and respiratory parameters;
  • impact on short-term surgical outcomes (in hospital stay, morbidity, mortality).

Patients affected by PC from colorectal cancer or pseudomyxoma peritonei, submitted to complete cytoreduction (residual disease <2.5mm) would be eligible for the study. HIPEC will be performed using closed abdomen technique and cisplatin + mitomycin-C. Patients will be randomly assigned to HIPEC with low IAP (8-12 mmHg) or high IAP (18-22 mmHg). IAP will be measured using bladder catheter. High IAP will be obtained increasing the volume of perfusate.

Thirty-eight patients (19 in each study groups) will be enrolled in 30 months. The randomized groups will be stratified according to tumor type.


Detailed Summary:

Patients affected by peritoneal metastasis from colorectal cancer or pseudomyxoma peritonei, submitted to complete cytoreduction (residual disease <2.5mm) would be eligible for the study. Residual and resectable tumour nodules of 0.5 to 1.0 cm will be left behind after the cytoreduction and they will be collected at the end of HIPEC for the purpose of this study. HIPEC will be performed using closed abdomen technique and cisplatin (42mg/L of perfusate) + mitomycin-C (3.3mg/m2/L of perfusate) for 60 minutes, at 42.5°C. Patients will be randomly assigned to HIPEC with low IAP (8-12 mmHg) or high IAP (18-22 mmHg). IAP will be measured using bladder catheter. Patients of high IAP group will be strictly monitored during the perfusion regarding hemodynamic/respiratory parameters. During the HIPEC, perfusate and blood samples will be collected every 10 minutes. Additional samples of arterial blood will be collected at 70, 90,120,180 and 240 minutes. After the completion of HIPEC residual tumor tissues, normal peritoneum and muscular fascia will be sampled for determination of cisplatin concentration.

Blood samples will be immediately centrifuged to separate plasma. An aliquot of plasma will be stored at -30°C for total platinum determination. Another aliquot will be ultrafiltered by centrifugation through a membrane with a cut-off 5000 Da for ultrafilterable platinum determination. The ultrafiltrate will be stored at -30°C until analysis.

Perfusate samples will follow the same procedure of blood samples. Tissues samples will be stored at -80°C until analysis. Platinum determination will be performed using an Inductive Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) system by Thermo Scientific after preparing calibration curves with atomic platinum. Fluid samples simply dilute before ICP-MS examination while tissu
