Brief summary
This is an open, non-randomized, phase I-II, pilot study, which evaluates the combination of optimum cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraoperative peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with mitomycin C (MMC) and irinotecan. The latter drug will be administered in escalating doses to patients with gastric, colorectal, appendicular, or primary peritoneal carcinosis (PC).
Interventions
The most complete cytoreductive surgery possible (ideally macroscopically complete) followed by a closed-abdomen hyperthermic intraoperative peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), using a closed circuit connected to the self-regulating Cavitherm machine (EEC certified). This perfusion apparatus records temperature, flow, and pressure for 90 minutes at real temperature (42-43°C). The dialysate is made up of peritoneal dialysis fluid containing 0.7 mg/kg of MMC and increasing doses of irinotecan added to the dialysate the last 30 minutes of the HIPEC. Potentiation of irinotecan using an intravenous FUFOL perfusion at least 1hour before HIPEC (1st dose level: 10 mg/m² of folinic acid, then 200 mg/m² of 5-FU; 2nd dose level: 20 mg/m² of folinic acid, then 400 mg/m² of 5-FU).
