The Safety and Effectiveness of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Combined With Intravenous Chemotherapy for Peritoneal Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer, a Phase II Clinical Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy combined with intravenous chemotherapy in peritoneal metastatic pancreatic cancer. The main question it aims to answer are:

(1) Does this combined approach increase 1-year survival rates? and (2) What is the safety profile of this treatment regimen?

Participants will:

undergo baseline imaging and surgical exploration to confirm peritoneal metastasis, receive two cycles of intraperitoneal cisplatin HIPEC (70mg/m²) postoperatively, followed by systemic AG chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine), with treatment adjustments based on regular imaging assessments and multidisciplinary team (MDT) recommendations.

  • Coagulation function: Prothrombin time (PT) and international normalized ratio (INR) <=1.5 × ULN;
  • Compliance with study visit schedules and other protocol requirements.

Exclusion criteria

  • Presence of distant metastases to other organs (e.g., liver, bone, lung) with definitive evidence, except for ovarian metastases;
  • History of other systemic malignancies within the past five years;
  • Use of any non-anti-tumor investigational drugs within 4 weeks prior to treatment;
  • Accompanied by massive ascites (extending from pelvic to upper abdominal cavity);
  • History of upper gastrointestinal bleeding requiring repeated blood transfusions within the past three months;
  • Pregnancy, autoimmune diseases, severe hyperthyroidism/hypothyroidism, central nervous system disorders, psychiatric illnesses, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, severe arrhythmias, or other uncontrolled serious medical conditions;
  • History of hypersensitivity to the study drugs or medications with similar chemical structures;

  • Poor compliance, inability or unwillingness to provide signed informed consent;
  • Patients likely to be lost to follow-up for ≥14 days during the treatment period.

Treatment and study plan

Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) with Cisplatin + Systemic AG Chemotherapy

Combination Product
  • HIPEC (cisplatin 70mg/m², Day 1,3 post-surgery), 1 cycle;
  • Systemic AG chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel 125mg/m²+ gemcitabine 1000mg/m², initiated, Day 1,8,15, q4 week), 4 cycles

Primary outcomes

  1. 1-year Overall Survival (OS) Rate

    Time frame: From enrollment to 12 months post-treatment initiation

    The proportion of patients alive at 12 months after initiation of the combined HIPEC and systemic AG chemotherapy treatment, analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Time frame: From enrollment until first documented progression or death (up to 24 months)

    Time from treatment initiation to radiographic disease progression (per RECIST 1.1) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR).

  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: From enrollment until end of treatment (up to 12 months)

    Proportion of patients achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST 1.1 criteria during the study intervention period.

  3. Safety and Tolerability (CTCAE v5.0)

    Time frame: From first HIPEC cycle to 30 days after last treatment (up to 13 months)

    Frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs), and treatment discontinuations due to AEs, graded by CTCAE v5.0
