New treatment option for Peritoneal Carcinomatosis
Official title Clinical Trial on HIPEC With Mitomycin C in Colon Cancer Peritoneal Metastases (GECOP-MMC)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05250648
What this study is testing
What is complete cytoreductive surgery plus HIPEC with Mytomicin C for 90 minutes?
complete cytoreductive surgery plus HIPEC with Mytomicin C for 90 minutes is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for peritoneal carcinomatosis.
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
- The aim of this study is to assess whether there are differences in PERITONEAL RECURRENCE in patients with Colon Cancer Peritoneal Metastases treated with complete surgical resection and systemic chemotherapy, with (Group 1) or without (Group 2) HIPEC with Mitomycin-C.
- Phase 4: studies an already-approved treatment
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
