Conditions

Ovarian Cancer Stage IIIC, Ovarian Cancer Stage IV

Brief summary

M-Trap is an implantable medical device designed to capture disseminated tumor cells (DTCs). It is intended for use in advanced-stage ovarian cancer patients. The study objective is to assess the safety and the performance of the M-Trap device.

Interventions

DEVICEM-Trap

Device(s) will be surgically implanted in the peritoneal cavity. Up to three (3) M-Trap devices will be surgically implanted via laparotomy in the right and left paracolic (pelvic) gutters and behind segment 6 of the liver within the peritoneal cavity of the patient at the time of surgical resection. Patients will receive standard platinum-based chemotherapy. If the cancer is diagnosed to have recurred, M-Trap devices with captured tumor cells will be removed via minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy).

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety: Number of Participants With Freedom From Device and Procedure-related Major Adverse Events6 monthsThe primary objective is to demonstrate that the safety of M-Trap, as measured by freedom from device- and procedure-related major adverse events through 6-months post-implantation, is non-inferior to historical controls (Patankar 2015). Freedom from device and procedure-related major adverse events is defined as severe complications based on Clavian Class IV complications, through 6-months post-implantation, including shock, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, prolonged intubation, unplanned reintubation, or adverse events leading to removal of the device, including infection, seroma formation, mesh migration, bowel obstruction, adhesions, and local cancer progression through the abdominal wall at M-Trap suture sites.

Safety: Number of Participants With Freedom From Device and Procedure-related Major Adverse Events

The primary objective is to demonstrate that the safety of M-Trap, as measured by freedom from device- and procedure-related major adverse events through 6-months post-implantation, is non-inferior to historical controls (Patankar 2015). Freedom from device and procedure-related major adverse events is defined as severe complications based on Clavian Class IV complications, through 6-months post-implantation, including shock, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, prolonged intubation, unplanned reintubation, or adverse events leading to removal of the device, including infection, seroma formation, mesh migration, bowel obstruction, adhesions, and local cancer progression through the abdominal wall at M-Trap suture sites.

Safety: Number of Participants With Freedom From Device and Procedure-related Major Adverse Events

An additional analysis was performed to assess safety of M-Trap in comparison to historical controls at a comparable 30 day timepoint, as measured by freedom from device- and procedure-related major adverse events through 30 days post-implantation. Freedom from device and procedure-related major adverse events is defined as severe complications based on Clavian Class IV complications, through 30-days post-implantation, including shock, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, prolonged intubation, unplanned reintubation, or adverse events leading to removal of the device, including infection, seroma formation, mesh migration, bowel obstruction, adhesions, and local cancer progression through the abdominal wall at M-Trap suture sites, adjusted based on the breakdown of the historical control population by number of extended procedures

Tumor Cell Infiltration

Estimate of tumor cell infiltration into the device based on histopathological analysis of devices from recurrent patients who underwent successful device removal. Percentage of device was determined by analysis of one slide from one tissue block (0.3 cm thick), by considering the amount of tumor cells in comparison to the total number of cells present in the slide when analyzed using image analysis with a digital slide scanner \[Membrane Quant Module, Panoramic 250 FLASH II 2.0 (3D HISTEC)\].
