HIPEC with Surgery for Ovarian Cancer
(OVHIPEC-2 Trial)
Trial Summary
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Research shows that combining cytoreductive surgery (removal of as much of the tumor as possible) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) using cisplatin has favorable outcomes for advanced ovarian cancer. Additionally, cisplatin is effective in treating advanced stages of ovarian cancer, improving survival rates when used after surgery.
12345The treatment involving cisplatin, used in HIPEC with surgery, has shown some side effects such as vomiting, nausea, and hair loss, and can affect the digestive and kidney systems. In a study, 12% of patients experienced kidney issues, with a small percentage needing temporary dialysis, but these risks were considered within an acceptable range.
678910HIPEC with Surgery for ovarian cancer is unique because it combines surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible (cytoreductive surgery) with heated chemotherapy (HIPEC) directly applied inside the abdomen, which may enhance the effectiveness of the chemotherapy and target cancer cells more directly compared to traditional intravenous chemotherapy.
311121314Eligibility Criteria
This trial is for individuals with stage III epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are candidates for initial surgery to remove the tumor. They must not have had any other cancers in the past 5 years and should not have received prior treatment for their current cancer.Inclusion Criteria
