Brief summary

Peritoneal metastasis is a common pattern in advanced gastric cancer leading to a terminal condition in a very short time. Whatever recent progress regarding systemic chemotherapy using multi drugs association median survival is limited to 6 months with altered quality of life (QoL) after 4 months for all patients. We postulated that a new innovative health technology for delivering intraperitoneal pressurized aerosol of chemotherapy (Doxorubicin and Cisplatin) during laparoscopy can transform that situation offering to double the survival with QoL preservation. Interestingly, PIPAC procedure is made to be applied repeatedly, every 4 to 6 weeks. This therapeutic strategy allows to improved Intra Peritoneal (IP) drugs impregnation and maintained Intra-Veinous (IV) chemotherapy meanwhile. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate and compare 24-month progression free-survival in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric cancer treated either with IV chemotherapy and Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) or with IV chemotherapy alone, with preservation of quality of life.

Interventions

After insufflation of a 12 mmHg of capnoperitoneum at 37°C, two balloons safety trocars (10 and 12mm) are inserted into the abdominal wall. Injection of Doxorubicin (2.1 mg/m2 in 50 ml NaCl 0.9%) and Cisplatin (10.5 mg/m2 body surface in 150 ml NaCl 0.9%) with a flow rate of 0.7ml/s, the therapeutic capnoperitoneum is maintained for 30 min at body temperature.

DRUGStandard chemotherapy

Patient will receive standard poly chemotherapy proposed by the oncologist or any new standard validated during the study, until progression or toxicity.
