Brief summary

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with the addition of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is used in current clinical practice in selected patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Clinical evidence for the benefit of HIPEC in ovarian cancer comes from the pivotal phase 3 OVHIPEC trial. Worldwide, two established strategies exist for dosing of HIPEC protocols, which follow either a body surface area (BSA)-based or a concentration-based approach. Since both strategies result in different exposure to intra-peritoneal chemotherapy, we aim to compare the pharmacokinetics and safety of both strategies.

Intervention model description

Patients in Arm A are treated with interval cytoreductive surgery (with no more than 1 cm residual disease) and cispaltin-based HIPEC with a dosage of 100 mg/m2. Patients in Arm B are treated with interval cytoreductive surgery (with no more than 1 cm residual disease) and cisplatin- based HIPEC with a dosage of 40 mg/L perfusate.
