Study Summary
This trial is looking at the effectiveness of surgery and chemotherapy in treating patients with adrenocortical cancer that has spread to the abdomen.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC) where the majority of cancer is in the peritoneal cavity and can be surgically removed or treated with radiofrequency ablation. Participants must have a life expectancy over three months, practice birth control, and have adequate organ function. Excluded are those with severe heart, lung conditions, active infections, significant neuropathy, brain metastases or pregnant/breastfeeding women.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if surgery followed by Heated Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) using cisplatin improves survival without cancer spreading inside the abdomen. It also examines side effects, quality of life changes post-treatment and whether cancer comes back locally or spreads elsewhere.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include complications from major surgery and chemotherapy such as infection risk increase, bleeding issues due to low platelet counts, kidney damage indicated by elevated creatinine levels or reduced clearance rate; liver problems shown by high AST/ALT levels; blood clotting difficulties seen in abnormal prothrombin time.
