Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Phase I: To determine the maximum tolerated dose of 5-Fluorouracil 24-hour EPIC, in combination with intensified oxaliplatin/irinotecan HIPEC, for treatment of colorectal cancer. Phase III: To study the recurrence-free survival (RFS) of patients within 24 months ;Secondary Objective: 1. Overall and recurrence-free survival up to 5 years 2. Postoperative complication rates within 30 days 3. Quality of life of patients up to 3 years after study treatment ;Primary end point(s): Phase I: Maximum tolerated dose of 5-FU 24-hour EPIC. Possible toxicity will be reported as Adverse Events. Phase III: Local control rate within 24 months – Defined as peritoneal or liver recurrence. Retroperitoneal llg not included in this definition ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Phase I: 30 days post-treatment Phase III: within 24 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The secondary endpoints are to evaluate the: • Overall survival and RFS up to 5 years through the HIPEC registry • Postoperative complication rates within 30 days • Quality of life of patients up to 3 years after treatment ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: RFS is assessed 1 year, 3 years and 5 years after treatment. Overall survival is assessed 5 years after treatment. Postoperative complication rates are followed for 30 days. QoL questionnaires are filled out at baseline and 12 and 36 months after surgery.
