Brief summary

This is a pilot, open-label clinical trial determining the feasibility of metformin therapy in subjects with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) secondary to appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs).

Detailed description

This is a single-arm, prospective pilot/feasibility study. Treatment will continue for the duration of the study (18 months) or intolerance to treatment. The primary endpoint will be feasibility of metformin therapy in patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) secondary to AMNs.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Proportion of Participants who have completed at least (≥) 80% of planned metformin doses by 6 months6 monthsExamine the feasibility of metformin therapy in patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) secondary to appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression Free Survival (PFS)6, 12 and 18 monthsExamine efficacy of metformin therapy in patients with PMP secondary to AMNs as assessed by progression free survival (PFS). Progression free survival will be defined by relative best tumor size change from baseline ranging from -100% to 100%, with radiographic findings assessed via modified peritoneal RECIST criteria at 6/12/18 months.
