Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate the effect as assessed by progression-free survival (PFS) of the following treatment regimen: CRS and HIPEC with Oxaliplatin and simultaneous intravenous 5-FU/LV with preoperative (and postoperative) systemic multidrug chemotherapy including cetuximab.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate - overall survival (OS) - perioperative morbidity and chemotherapy related toxicity - feasibility of the combined treatment concept - quality of life (QoL) - pathohistological regression after neoadjuvant treatment To establish a tissue bank for translational research. ;Primary end point(s): Progression free survival (PFS);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: time of occurence during the 8-9 months treatment or the 2-year follow-up period

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1) overall survival (OS) 2) perioperative morbidity and chemotherapy related toxicity 3) feasibility of the combined treatment concept 4) quality of life (QoL) 5) pathohistological regression after neoadjuvant treatment;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1) time of death during treatment or follow-up 2) tretament period 3) treatment period 4) different defined timepoints during treatment and follow-up 5) after surgery
