Study Summary

This trial is testing the side effects of hyperthermic intraepithelial chemotherapy with cisplatin before or after surgery in patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer receiving chemotherapy before surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with stage III or IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer who've had some chemo but still need surgery. They should be fit for major surgery and have a good performance status score (0-2). People can't join if they have inflammatory bowel disease, recent other cancers except certain skin cancers and cervical carcinoma in situ, allergies to the drugs used here, or uncontrolled illnesses like heart failure.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests two approaches: giving heated chemotherapy with cisplatin during surgery versus standard cisplatin before surgery. The goal is to see which method might kill more tumor cells effectively. Participants will also complete quality-of-life questionnaires to assess how these treatments impact their well-being.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Side effects may include reactions to chemotherapy such as nausea, kidney damage from cisplatin, nerve damage from paclitaxel leading to numbness or tingling in hands and feet, blood count changes increasing infection risk, fatigue and potential complications from major surgery.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm III (carboplatin, paclitaxel, CRS, cisplatin)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
OUTLINE: Patients receive carboplatin IV and paclitaxel IV on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 3-4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Within 3-4 weeks following the third or fourth neoadjuvant cycle, patients who achieve complete or partial response undergo interval debulking surgery Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 arms. ARM III: Patients receive cisplatin IV the day prior to interval debulking surgery
Group II: Arm II (carboplatin, paclitaxel, CRS, HIPEC, cisplatin)Experimental Treatment7 Interventions
OUTLINE: Patients receive carboplatin IV and paclitaxel IV on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 3-4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Within 3-4 weeks following the third or fourth neoadjuvant cycle, patients who achieve complete or partial response undergo interval debulking surgery Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 arms. ARM II: Patients undergo HIPEC and receive cisplatin IV over 90 minutes at the time of interval debulking surgery
Group III: Arm I (carboplatin, paclitaxel, CRS)Active Control5 Interventions
OUTLINE: Patients receive carboplatin IV and paclitaxel IV on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 3-4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Within 3-4 weeks following the third or fourth neoadjuvant cycle, patients who achieve complete or partial response undergo interval debulking surgery Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 arms. ARM I: No chemotherapy immediately before, during or after surgery. Carboplatin/paclitaxel is given 3-4 weeks prior to surgery and again 2-4 weeks after surgery.
