New treatment option for Metastatic Pancreatic Carcinoma
Official title Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer and Peritoneal Metastasis
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04858009
What this study is testing
What is Cisplatin?
Cisplatin is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for metastatic pancreatic carcinoma.
Also referred to as Abiplatin, Blastolem.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This phase II trial studies the effects of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to the internal abdominal area (peritoneal metastasis). Chemotherapy drugs, such as nab-paclitaxel and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
