Second-look Surgery With or Without Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search is not designed to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, travels to or treatment by using a genuine medical doctor. We are not physicians. Always confer with your doctor on Second-look Surgery With or Without Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Colorectal Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Second-look Surgery With or Without Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Colorectal Cancer Clinical research trials and Second-look Surgery With or Without Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Colorectal Cancer healthcare trials take place in many of cities across the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally evaluate the effectiveness of new drugs. The function of the studies / undertakings is to answer specific human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to find treatments for all forms of conditions, including Second-look Surgery With or Without Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Colorectal Cancer. Second-look Surgery With or Without Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to access medical treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Many times the test subjects undergo treatment for without cost, and occasionally they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Second-look Surgery With or Without Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Colorectal Cancer clinical trial. Test subjects oftentimes recieve the best healthcare possible for their Second-look Surgery With or Without Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Colorectal Cancer condition. Hazards are a reality, nonetheless, and might include additional or frequent doctor trips, healthcare hazards (perhaps life-jeopardizing), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally regulated with rigid guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Second-look Surgery With or Without Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Colorectal Cancer



Second-look Surgery With or Without Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Colorectal Cancer

For Condition: recurrent colon cancer,adenocarcinoma of the rectum,liver metastases,peritoneal cavity cancer,adenocarcinoma of the colon,recurrent rectal cancer
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): Federation Nationale des Centres de Lutte Contre le Cancer ,
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving chemotherapy drugs in different ways may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of second-look surgery with or without intraperitoneal infusions of mitomycin and fluorouracil in treating patients who have colorectal cancer that is recurrent to the peritoneum.
Details: OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the effect of second look surgery with or without intraperitoneal mitomycin and fluorouracil on the 3 year survival rate of patients with colorectal cancer who are at high risk for peritoneal cavity cancer. II. Compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens. III. Compare the toxicity of these regimens in these patients. PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to center, risk group, presence of symptoms (yes vs no), and isolated disease (yes vs no). After primary surgery, all patients receive 6 months of chemotherapy consisting of leucovorin calcium IV followed by fluorouracil IV over 10 minutes on days 1-5 every 4 weeks. Patients then undergo second look surgery or laparoscopy at 8-12 months. Second look surgery or laparoscopy may be performed earlier if markers increase progressively for unknown reasons or symptoms of peritoneal cancer occur. Patients with recurrent disease that can be resected are randomized to one of two treatment arms. Patients with no residual disease or with unresectable disease are followed for survival. Arm I: Patients undergo complete resection of all detectable lesions followed immediately by intraperitoneal (IP) mitomycin on day 0 and fluorouracil IP on days 1-4. Patients also receive systemic chemotherapy consisting of leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours and fluorouracil IV bolus, followed by fluorouracil IV over 22 hours on days 1 and 2. Systemic chemotherapy repeats every 2 weeks for 6 months. Arm II: Patients undergo complete or partial resection and then receive systemic chemotherapy as in arm I. Quality of life is assessed at baseline and then every 4 months for 3 years. All patients (including nonrandomized patients) are followed every 4 months for 3 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 152 patients (76 randomized) will be accrued for this study.
