Safari D, Fakhrolmobasheri M, Soleymanjahi S. Efficacy and safety of intraperitoneal chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer. BMC Surg 2024; 24:285. [PMID: 39367354 PMCID: PMC11451220 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-024-02526-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 10/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is a highly aggressive cancer with unfavorable prognosis despite the therapeutic interventions. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy has recently shown potential outcomes in the presence of peritoneal metastases. However, a consensus is still lacking on different methods for intraperitoneal chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer. A variety of drugs and doses via three types of intraperitoneal chemotherapy have been studied. The prognosis and treatment strategies for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) will be significantly influenced by peritoneal dissemination and resectability of the macroscopic disease. Normothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (NIPEC) has been used for the treatment of peritoneal metastases of pancreatic carcinomas. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is often combined with systemic therapies or surgical procedures which may lead to favorable combination therapies such as cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC). Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a relatively new approach that provides a homogenous and deep penetration of the chemotherapy into the peritoneum by producing aerosols. The present study aims to review the literature for recent evidence on intraperitoneal chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer.

Treatment outcomes of gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel in pancreatic cancer patients with malignant ascites. Pancreatology 2024; 24:616-623. [PMID: 38599956 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2024.03.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP) therapy has been shown to improve the prognosis in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer (PC); however, the efficacy and safety of GnP in PC patients with malignant ascites (MA) remains unknown. METHODS We retrospectively investigated PC patients with peritoneal dissemination who had received GnP as first-line chemotherapy at our institution between March 2015 and August 2021. The following patient data were reviewed: patient characteristics, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), adverse events (AEs), and relative dose intensity (RDI). The severity of MA was categorized based on the CT findings as grade 1 (small), grade 2 (moderate), or grade 3 (massive). RESULTS A total of 189 patients were included; the study endpoints were compared between patients with each ascites grade and 41 patients without MA. The MA was classified as grade 1 in 85 patients, grade 2 in 41 patients, and grade 3 in 22 patients. In the patients with MA, the median OS, PFS and ORR were 11.2 months, 5.7 months and 24.3%, respectively. The OS and PFS decreased with increasing the severity of MA; in particular, patients with grade 2 and 3 showed a poorer prognosis. There were no differences in AEs, except for anorexia, or the RDI according to the severity of MA. CONCLUSION GnP showed moderate efficacy with manageable safety profile in PC patients with MA. However, PC patients with moderate to massive ascites still have a dismal prognosis, and further development of effective treatments is needed.

Abstract
Malignant ascites occurs as a symptom of the terminal stage of cancer, affecting the quality of life through abdominal distension, pain, nausea, anorexia, dyspnea and other symptoms. We describe the current main drug treatments in addition to surgery according to the traditional and new strategies. Traditional treatments were based on anti-tumor chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatments, as well as diuretics to relieve the patient's symptoms. New treatments mainly involve photothermal therapy, intestinal therapy and targeted immunity. This study emphasizes that both traditional and new therapies have certain advantages and disadvantages, and medication should be adjusted according to different periods of use and different patients. In conclusion, this article reviews the literature to systematically describe the primary treatment modalities for malignant ascites.

Abstract
The emergence of malignant ascites (MA) indicates poor prognoses in patients with ovarian, gastrointestinal, breast, and pancreatic cancer. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a pleiotropic cytokine with immunoregulatory effects in tumor microenvironment. The level of IL-10 in MA varied across cancer types and patients, influencing cancer progression and outcomes. Originating from various immune and cancer cells, IL-10 contributes to complex signaling pathways in MA. Systemic IL-10 administration, although the evidence of its efficacy on MA is limited, still emerges as a promising therapeutic strategy because it can increase CD8+ T cells cytotoxicity and invigorate exhausted CD8+ tumor infiltration lymphocytes (TILs) directly. IL-10 signaling blockade also demonstrates great potential when combined with other immunotherapies in MA treatment. We reviewed the levels, origins, and functions of IL-10 in malignant ascites and overviewed the current IL-10 signaling targeting therapies, aiming to provide insights for MA treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this review was to characterize the second- and later-line (≥2L) treatment landscape for patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). METHODS This systematic literature review (PROSPERO: CRD42021279753) involved searches of MEDLINE® and Embase to identify results from prospective studies of ≥2L treatment options for metastatic pancreatic cancer published from 2016 to 2021. Publications were screened according to predetermined eligibility criteria; population-level data were extracted using standardized data fields. Publication quality was assessed according to Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE). The data were analyzed descriptively, grouped by drug class. RESULTS Sixty publications were identified, including 23 relating to comparative trials. GRADE assessment found that, of these 23 trials, 83% reported high or moderate-quality evidence. Of the publications relating to comparative trials, nine (three trials) reported favorable results: the pivotal phase 3 NAPOLI-1 trial for liposomal irinotecan; a phase 3 trial of non-liposomal irinotecan within the FOLFIRINOX regimen; and a phase 2 trial of eryaspase plus chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS The level of unmet need for ≥2L treatment options for mPDAC remains high. Irinotecan-based regimens currently offer the greatest promise. Investigations into paradigm-changing agents and combination approaches continue.

Abstract
Malignancies of the peritoneal cavity are associated with a dismal prognosis. Systemic chemotherapy is the gold standard for patients with unresectable peritoneal disease, but its intraperitoneal effect is hampered by the peritoneal-plasma barrier. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy, which is administered repeatedly into the peritoneal cavity through a peritoneal implanted port, could provide a novel treatment modality for this patient population. This review provides a systematic overview of intraperitoneal used drugs, the performed clinical studies so far, and the complications of the peritoneal implemental ports. Several anticancer drugs have been studied for intraperitoneal application, with the taxanes paclitaxel and docetaxel as the most commonly used drug. Repeated intraperitoneal chemotherapy, mostly in combination with systemic chemotherapy, has shown promising results in Phase I and Phase II studies for several tumor types, such as gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Two Phase III studies for intraperitoneal chemotherapy in gastric cancer have been performed so far, but the results regarding the superiority over standard systemic chemotherapy alone, are contradictory. Pressurized intraperitoneal administration, known as PIPAC, is an alternative way of administering intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and the first prospective studies have shown a tolerable safety profile. Although intraperitoneal chemotherapy might be a standard treatment option for patients with unresectable peritoneal disease, more Phase II and Phase III studies focusing on tolerability profiles, survival rates, and quality of life are warranted in order to establish optimal treatment schedules and to establish a potential role for intraperitoneal chemotherapy in the approach to unresectable peritoneal disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a local treatment for peritoneal metastasis (PM). Prospective data are scarce and evaluation of treatment response remains difficult. This study evaluated the use of the Peritoneal Regression Grading score (PRGS) and its prognostic value. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a prospective, controlled phase II trial in patients with PM from gastrointestinal, gynaecological, hepatopancreatobiliary, primary peritoneal, or unknown primary cancer. Patients in performance status 0-1, with a non-obstructed gastrointestinal tract, and a maximum of one extraperitoneal metastasis were eligible. Colorectal or appendiceal PM had PIPAC with oxaliplatin, other primaries had PIPAC with cisplatin and doxorubicin. Biopsies were taken at each PIPAC and evaluated using the PRGS. Quality-of-life questionnaires were reported at baseline and after three PIPACs. RESULTS One hundred ten patients were treated with 336 PIPACs (median 3, range 1-12). One hundred patients had prior palliative chemotherapy and 45 patients received bidirectional treatment. Complete or major histological response to treatment (PRGS 1-2) was observed in 38 patients (61%) who had three PIPACs, which was the only independent prognostic factor in a multivariate analysis. The median overall survival (mOS) from PIPAC 1 was 10 months, while patients with PM from gastric, colorectal, and pancreatic cancer had a mOS of 7.4, 16.7, and 8.2 months, respectively. Global health scores were significantly reduced, but patients were less fatigued, nauseated, constipated, and had better appetite after three PIPACs. CONCLUSIONS PIPAC with oxaliplatin or cisplatin and doxorubicin was able to induce a major or complete histological response during three PIPACs, which may provide significant prognostic information, both at baseline and after treatment.

Intraperitoneal chemotherapy in the management of pancreatic adenocarcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2022; 48:1911-1921. [PMID: 35688711 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2022.05.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 05/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic cancer represents one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), normothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (NIPEC), and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) has been proven with curative intent mainly for other tumors and there is a lack of consensus regarding possible benefits also in pancreatic cancer. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aim to provide an up-to-date overview of the effectiveness and safety of intraperitoneal treatments in the management of pancreatic cancer. METHODS A systematic review of articles was conducted according to PRISMA and AMSTAR-2 guidelines. 11 studies were included in the analysis. RESULTS We included in our analysis 212 patients subdivided in three groups: 64 in the HIPEC group (57 with prophylactic intent and 7 with curative intent), 55 in the PIPAC group and 93 in the NIPEC group. Primary outcomes were represented by survival rates; we evidenced at an observation time of three years a survival of 24% in the HIPEC group (25.5% in the prophylactic arm and 6.2% in the curative arm), 5.3% in the PIPAC group and 7.9% in the NIPEC group. CONCLUSIONS HIPEC could be considered as a promising technique for prophylaxis and treatment of peritoneal metastasis (PM) in case of borderline resectable and locally advanced disease. Increased survival rates emerged without additional morbidity when surgical resection and CRS are possible. In addition, our data about PIPAC and NIPEC as palliative treatment in unresectable disease seems to identify more favorable survival rates compared to literature.

Effects of particle size and release property of paclitaxel-loaded nanoparticles on their peritoneal retention and therapeutic efficacy against mouse malignant ascites. Int J Pharm 2022; 623:121904. [PMID: 35716981 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.121904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Revised: 05/11/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Malignant ascites accounts for abdominal pain, dyspnea and anorexia, all of which decrease quality of life in cancer patients. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is a useful method for managing malignant ascites and nanoparticulate drug delivery system makes it more effective by increasing peritoneal retention of anti-cancer drugs. In this study, we prepared paclitaxel-loaded emulsions and liposomes with different particle sizes and drug release properties, and evaluated their peritoneal retention and therapeutic efficacy in Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma (EAC)-bearing mice. Liposomes with the size of 100 nm were rapidly absorbed from peritoneal cavity into blood after intraperitoneal injection into EAC-bearing mice, whereas 1000-nm liposomes were highly retained in peritoneal cavity. Accordingly, 1000 nm liposomes significantly prolonged survival time of EAC-bearing mice but did not inhibit the ascites accumulation because of too poor paclitaxel release. On the other hand, although peritoneal retention of emulsions themselves was similar irrespective of their sizes, 270-nm emulsions showed the higher PTX retention in ascites than other emulsions, and resulted in significantly prolonged survival time and lower accumulation of ascites in EAC-bearing mice. These results indicate that not only particle size but drug release property is one of key determinants of the biodisposition and therapeutic efficacy of intraperitoneally injected nanoparticulate PTX against malignant ascites.

Abstract
Oncolytic viruses mediate antitumor responses through direct tumor cell lysis and induction of host antitumor immunity. However, the therapeutic efficacy of oncolytic viruses against malignant ascites has rarely been explored. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and immunomodulatory effect of an intraperitoneal injection of human type 5 recombinant adenovirus (called H101) against malignant ascites. Forty patients with malignant ascites were recruited and treated with intraperitoneal H101 in the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center. The 4-week clinical responses were determined by an objective assessment of ascites volume change. The ascites response rate and ascites control rate were 40% (16/40) and 75% (30/40), respectively. The major adverse events following intraperitoneal H101 administration were mild-to-moderate abdominal pain (8/40, 20.0%) and fever (11/40, 27.5%); no grade III/IV adverse events were observed. Mass cytometry and immunocytological analysis at baseline, and days 7 and 14 post-treatment showed that intraperitoneally injected H101 led to marked tumor cell depletion, increased dendritic cell and CD8+ T cell densities. H101-meditated tumor-specific immune activation on day 14 post-treatment was further identified by enzyme-linked immunospot assay. In conclusion, intraperitoneal H101 administration was well tolerated and effective in treating malignant ascites; thus, its immune activation ability may be a promising tool in combination with immunotherapy.

Abstract
Patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with peritoneal dissemination have a dismal prognosis because discontinuation of systemic chemotherapy is required for massive ascites or poor performance status. The natural history, diagnosis and treatment of PDAC with peritoneal dissemination have not been fully investigated. We systematically reviewed published information on the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PDAC with peritoneal dissemination using the PubMed database (2000-2020) and provided recommendations in response to clinical questions. This guideline was created according to the "Minds Clinical Practice Guideline Development Guide 2017". The literature quality and body of evidence were evaluated with the GRADE System and classified into four levels ("strong", "medium", "weak", "very weak"). The strength of each final recommendation was decided by a vote of committee members based on the GRADE Grid method. These guidelines address three subjects: diagnostic, chemotherapeutic, and surgical approaches. They include nine clinical questions and statements with recommendation strengths, evidence levels, and agreement rates, in addition to one "column". This is the English synopsis of the 2021 Japanese clinical practice guideline for PDAC with peritoneal dissemination. It summarizes the clinical evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of PDAC with peritoneal dissemination and provides future perspectives.

Abstract
Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) and malignant ascites (MA), which are common but serious conditions caused by malignancies, are related to poor quality of life and high mortality. Current treatments, including therapeutic thoracentesis and indwelling pleural catheters or paracentesis and catheter drainage, are largely palliative. An effective treatment is urgently needed. MPE and MA are excellent candidates for intratumoural injections that have direct contact with tumour cells and kill tumour cells more effectively and efficiently with fewer side effects, and the fluid environment of MPE and MA can provide a homogeneous area for drug distribution. The immunosuppressive environments within the pleural and peritoneal cavities suggest the feasibility of local immunotherapy. In this review, we introduce the current management of MPE and MA, discuss the latest advances and challenges in utilizing local biomaterial-assisted antitumour therapies for the treatment of MPE and MA, and discuss further opportunities in this field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal metastasis is one of the most important poor prognostic factors in advanced pancreatic cancer (PC). Whether the prognosis of PC with peritoneal metastasis has improved with the advent of gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP) and modified FOLFIRINOX (mFFX) is uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the improvements in treatment outcomes of PC with peritoneal metastasis. METHODS We retrospectively investigated consecutive PC patients with peritoneal metastasis treated with chemotherapy at our institution between 2010 and 2019. We compared the clinical characteristics and survival outcomes according to the period of diagnosis (group A, 2010-2014; group B, 2015-2019) and chemotherapy regimen. We also examined the prognostic factors for overall survival (OS). RESULTS Among 180 patients included (GnP 88; mFFX 14; other regimens 78), distant metastasis was confined to the peritoneum in 89 patients. Although group B had a worse performance status compared to group A, median OS was significantly longer in group B. GnP and mFFX showed a significantly higher objective response rate and disease control rate in addition to longer progression free survival and OS compared to other regimens. The administration of GnP or mFFX, performance status, and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio ≥5 were identified as independent prognostic factors for OS. Furthermore, the amount of ascites and extent of peritoneal metastasis were significantly associated with OS in patients with distant metastasis confined to the peritoneum. CONCLUSIONS The prognosis of PC with peritoneal metastasis has significantly improved over time with the advent of GnP and mFFX.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of S-IROX and modified FOLFIRINOX (mFFX) after gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel for advanced pancreatic cancer (PC) in the real world setting. METHODS Consecutive patients receiving S-IROX or mFFX as a second-line chemotherapy for advanced PC refractory to gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel were retrospectively studied. Patients were treated every 2 weeks: S-1 40 mg/m2 was administered orally twice daily on days 1 to 7 in S-IROX and 5-fluorouracil 2400 mg/m2 was intravenously administered for 46 h without bolus infusion in mFFX, in addition to intravenous oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 and irinotecan 150 mg/m2 on day 1 in both regimens. RESULTS Fifty-four patients with advanced PC who received S-IROX (n = 19) or mFFX (n = 35) were retrospectively studied. The disease control rate and response rate were 73.7% and 10.5% in the S-IROX group and 62.2% and 2.7% in the mFFX group, respectively. The median progression free survival (PFS) was 7.8 and 5.7 months in the S-IROX and mFFX groups (p = 0.24). The median overall survival (OS) was 14.2 and 11.5 months in the S-IROX and mFFX groups (p = 0.34). There were no significant differences in the incidences of grade 3-4 adverse effects. The subgroup analyses suggested S-IROX demonstrated favorable OS in patients with PFS ≥6 months of first-line gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (p for interaction = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS S-IROX and mFFX were similarly tolerable and effective as a second-line chemotherapy in patients with PC refractory to gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel.

Abstract
Integration of PIPAC to systemic chemotherapy can have good tolerance profile. Repeated biopsies performed during PIPAC allowed therapy-response monitoring. Analysis of biopsies performed during PIPAC allowed tailoring of chemotherapy. Integration of PIPAC to systemic chemotherapy can permit good quality of life.
Introduction Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with peritoneal metastases (PM) has a dismal prognosis and palliative systemic chemotherapy, which represents the standard treatment option, has significant pharmacokinetics limitations and low efficacy. Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a new method of drug delivery that is expected to maximize exposure of peritoneal nodules to antiblastic agents. A combination of systemic chemotherapy and PIPAC may be valuable. Presentation of case A 55 years old male affected by PDAC with synchronous PM underwent a multimodal treatment comprising systemic chemotherapy and PIPAC without any procedural-related adverse events. Tumor genomic profiling evaluation from peritoneal biopsies addressed further tailored systemic chemotherapy. Discussion The presented case illustrates the possibility of adding PIPAC to systemic chemotherapy with a fair tolerance profile and good quality of life while allowing monitoring of therapy-response and tailoring of the antiblastic treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Prognosis after peritoneal metastases in colorectal cancer is worse than that after lung or liver metastases. Previously, we demonstrated the safety of intraperitoneal (ip) administration of paclitaxel (PTX) combined with mFOLFOX6/CapeOX plus bevacizumab for colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastasis in a phase-I trial. Here, we evaluated the efficacy of this chemotherapy. METHODS We enrolled six patients with histologically confirmed peritoneal metastases secondary to colorectal cancer. PTX was administered through a peritoneal access port, in combination with oxaliplatin-based systematic chemotherapy. Response rate, progression-free survival, 1-year survival rate, frequency of improvement in peritoneal cancer index (PCI), and cytology in peritoneal lavage were evaluated. This study was registered in the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trial Registry on July 1, 2016 (UNIN000022924). RESULTS Three patients received the mFOLFOX6-bevacizumab regimen, whereas the other three received the CapeOX-bevacizumab regimen. The response rate was 25%. PCI score improved in 50% of the cases. Peritoneal lavage cytology that was positive in five patients before initiating the chemotherapy turned negative during chemotherapy in all patients. One-year survival rate was 100%, progression-free survival was 8.8 months (range, 6.8-12 months), and median survival time was 29.3 months. CONCLUSION The ip administration of PTX with systemic chemotherapy can potentially control peritoneal metastases in colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in the USA, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) constitutes 85% of pancreatic cancer diagnoses. PDA frequently metastasizes to the peritoneum, but effective treatment of peritoneal metastasis remains a clinical challenge. Despite this unmet need, understanding of the biological mechanisms that contribute to development and progression of PDA peritoneal metastasis is sparse. By contrast, a vast number of studies have investigated mechanisms of peritoneal metastasis in ovarian and gastric cancers. Here, we contrast similarities and differences between peritoneal metastasis in PDA as compared with those in gastric and ovarian cancer by outlining molecular mediators involved in each step of the peritoneal metastasis cascade. This review aims to provide mechanistic insights that could be translated into effective targeted therapies for patients with peritoneal metastasis from PDA.

Abstract
PURPOSE A phase I study of intraperitoneal paclitaxel (ip PTX) combined with gemcitabine (GEM) plus nab-paclitaxel (nab-PTX) (GnP) was conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended dose (RD) in pancreatic cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis in first-line setting. METHODS Based on the 3 + 3 dose-escalation model, ip PTX, GEM and nab-PTX were administered at doses of 20 or 30 mg/m2, 800 or 1000 mg/m2 and 100 or 125 mg/m2 (level 1, 2 and 3, respectively) on days 1, 8 and 15 in 4-week cycles. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) defined as severe adverse events was evaluated during the first cycle of the treatment. Safety and preliminary efficacy were also investigated. RESULTS In total, 12 patients were enrolled. While 2 of the first 6 patients enrolled at level 1 experienced DLTs (grade 3 ip port dysfunction and grade 3 pneumonia), no DLT was observed in the next 6 patients enrolled at level 2 and 3. Therefore, we did not reach the MTD and the RD was determined to be level 3 (ip PTX of 30 mg/m2, GEM of 1000 mg/m2, and nab-PTX of 125 mg/m2). The major grade 3/4 adverse events included neutropenia (58%), anemia (33%), and ip port dysfunction (25%). The response rate was 25% and the median PFS was 5.4 (95% confidence interval; 2.4-16.0). The cytological status in peritoneal lavage turned negative in 8 patients (67%). CONCLUSIONS Ip PTX combined with GnP was feasible and potentially effective in pancreatic cancer with peritoneal metastasis as a first-line treatment deserved further evaluations.

Abstract
Background Systemic chemotherapy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CC) with peritoneal metastases (PM) is affected by several pharmacological shortcomings and low clinical efficacy. Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is expected to maximize exposure of peritoneal nodules to antiblastic agents. This study aims to evaluate safety and efficacy of PIPAC for PM of PDAC and CC origin. Methods This is a retrospective analysis of consecutive PDAC and CC cases with PM treated with PIPAC at two European referral centers for peritoneal disease. We prospectively recorded from August 2016 to May 2019 demographic, clinical, surgical, and oncological data. We performed a feasibility and safety assessment and an efficacy analysis based on clinical and pathological regression. Results Twenty patients with PM from PDAC (14) and CC (six) underwent 45 PIPAC administrations. Cisplatin-doxorubicin or oxaliplatin were administered to eight and 12 patients, respectively. We experienced one intraoperative complication (small bowel perforation) and 18 grade 1-2 postoperative adverse events according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. A pathological regression was recorded in 50% of patients (62% in the cisplatin-doxorubicin cohort and 42% in the oxaliplatin one). Median survival from the first PIPAC was 9.7 and 10.9 months for PDAC and CC, respectively. Conclusion PIPAC resulted feasible and safe without relevant toxicity issues, with both cisplatin-doxorubicin and oxaliplatin. The pathological response observed supports the evidence of antitumoral activity. Despite the study limitations, these outcomes are encouraging, recommending PIPAC in prospective, controlled trials in the palliative setting or the first line chemotherapy for PM from PDAC and CC.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal types of cancer. Late-stage pancreatic cancer patients usually suffer peritoneum effusion, which severely compromises quality of life. Great efforts have been made concerning the treatment of peritoneum effusion, including treatment with β-elemene. Although peritoneal perfusion of β-elemene attenuates the progression of malignant effusion without severe adverse effects in the clinic, the underlying molecular mechanism underlying the activity of β-elemene against peritoneum effusion remains unclear. In the present study, a network pharmacology approach was undertaken to explore the mechanism of β-elemene against peritoneum effusion. Particularly, the networks of β-elemene and pancreatic cancer target genes were constructed based on the BATMAN-TCM and DigSee databases, respectively. Thirty-three genes, including hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit α (HIF1A), were discovered in both networks. A potential interaction of β-elemene with HIF1A was revealed by molecular docking simulation and co-expression analysis of pancreatic cancer datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Additionally, experimental validation by MTT assay demonstrated that β-elemene suppressed proliferation of PANC-1 and BxPC3 cells and cells from peritoneum effusion in patients with pancreatic cancer. Furthermore, the protein expression levels of HIF1A and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), as detected by western blotting, were reduced by β-elemene. Overall, this study proposes a potential molecular mechanism illustrating that β-elemene can block the HIF1A/VEGFA pathway, thereby inhibiting the generation of peritoneum effusion in pancreatic cancer based on network pharmacology analysis, and further highlights the importance of targeting the HIF1A/VEGF pathway as a therapeutic approach to treat peritoneum effusion in patients with pancreatic cancer.

The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition induced by tumor-associated macrophages confers chemoresistance in peritoneally disseminated pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Background The peritoneum is one of the most frequent metastatic sites in pancreatic cancer patients, and peritoneal dissemination makes this disease refractory due to aggressive progression and chemoresistance. Although the role of the tumor microenvironment in cancer development is recognized, the correlation between the peritoneal environment and refractoriness of peritoneal dissemination remains unclear. The intraperitoneal tumor-microenvironment and its potential role in the progression of peritoneal dissemination and chemo-refractoriness, focusing especially on macrophages, were investigated. Materials and methods Peritoneal washes were obtained from pancreatic cancer patients, and cellular components were subjected to immunofluorescence assays. The effects of macrophages induced from monocytic THP-1 cells on pancreatic cancer cells were examined in co-culture conditions. The in vivo effects of macrophages on tumor growth and chemo-sensitivity were investigated by subcutaneously or intraperitoneally co-injecting cancer cells with macrophages into mice. Results CD204-positive macrophages were present along with cancer cells in the peritoneal washes. In in vitro co-culture, tumor-associated macrophages affected pancreatic cancer cells, induced the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and made them more resistant to chemotherapeutic agents. M2 macrophages promoted growth of both subcutaneous tumors and peritoneal dissemination in mice. Furthermore, co-inoculation of M2 macrophages conferred chemoresistance in the peritoneal dissemination mouse model, which significantly shortened their survival. Conclusion Intraperitoneal tumor-associated macrophages potentially play an important role in promotion of peritoneal dissemination and chemoresistance of pancreatic cancer via EMT induction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a laparoscopy-guided administration of aerosolized chemotherapy. PIPAC seems to improve objective tumor response, survival and quality of life in patients with peritoneal metastasis. We assessed feasibility and efficacy of PIPAC in patients with peritoneal metastasis (PM). METHODS Patients were included in a prospective PIPAC protocol. Patients with colorectal PM were treated with oxaliplatin, patients with other primary tumors were treated with cisplatin and doxorubicin. Any chemotherapy exposure for healthcare workers was monitored by environmental and biological sampling. Feasibility was quantified by completion and complication rates. Response evaluation was documented by the peritoneal regression grading score (PRGS) and by peritoneal lavage cytology. Biopsy sites were marked by clips. Quality of life questionnaires were collected at baseline and after 60, 120 and 180 days. RESULTS A total of 35 patients with PM were treated with a median of three PIPAC procedures (range 1-9). Intraperitoneal access and completion of PIPAC was achieved in all patients. Few complications and adverse events were noted. There was no risk of chemotherapy exposure for healthcare workers. The mean PRGS was reduced significantly and a reduction of the PRGS was seen in 67% of the patients. Conversion from positive to negative cytology was achieved in 23% of the patients. Quality of life was stabilized from baseline to day 60. CONCLUSIONS PIPAC is feasible and well tolerated, may stabilize the quality of life in patients with end-stage PM and may induce histological and cytological regression.This study is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov [ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02320448].

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) improves survival, its efficacy varies among individuals. Identification of biomarkers that can predict the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy for PDAC is essential. OBJECTIVES To investigate the predictive value of secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) expression in patients with PDAC treated with adjuvant gemcitabine in combination with S-1 (adjuvant GS) or adjuvant gemcitabine alone (adjuvant G alone). METHODS Stromal SPARC and cytoplasmic SPARC were examined immunohistochemically in 211 PDAC patients treated with adjuvant GS or G alone after resection. The association of SPARC expression with clinicopathological factors, disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. RESULTS In multivariate analysis, borderline resectable with arterial contact (BR-A) (P = .002), higher preoperative CA 19-9 level (≥91 U/ml) (P = .005), moderately or poorly (P = .003), presence of lymph node metastasis (P = .012) and high stromal SPARC expression (P = .013) were independent predictors of poor DFS. Moreover, BR-A (P = .003), higher preoperative CA 19-9 level (≥91 U/ml) (P = .007) and high stromal SPARC expression (P < .001) were identified as independent predictors of poor OS. In contrast, cytoplasmic SPARC expression did not affect DFS and OS. CONCLUSIONS High stromal SPARC expression was an independent predictor of poor DFS and OS in patients treated with adjuvant GS or G alone. Stromal SPARC expression could be a relevant biomarker for prediction of prognosis in PDAC patients after resection treated with adjuvant GS or G alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients suffering from peritoneal carcinomatosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma were treated with Pressurized Intra Peritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC), initial clinical findings are presented. METHODS Single institution, tertiary referral center certified for therapy of peritoneal disease. Prospective data collection of PIPAC therapy with doxorubicin 1.5 mg/m2 and cisplatin 7.5 mg/m2 of body surface delivered at intervals of six weeks. The outcome criteria were microscopic pathological response, survival and adverse events (v4.0 CTCAE). RESULTS A total of 20 patients (m/f = 3:1) with a mean age of 64.9 (range: 45.0 to 87.0) years underwent 41 PIPAC procedures without intraoperative complications. The mean number of PIPAC cycles was 2.1 (range: one to four). Ten patients with ≥ 2 PIPAC applications were eligible for histological analysis to assess carcinoma regression. Complete or high grade tumor regression was found in two (10%) and five (25%) patients, respectively. An overall median survival of 36.6 weeks after the first PIPAC application was observed. One patient died postoperatively due to small bowel obstruction. No CTCAE level 3 and 4 complications occurred. CONCLUSION In about one third of patients, repeated PIPAC therapy did induce histological regression of systemic chemo-resistant PC of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Prospective randomized trials are needed to further clarify any clinical impact of such observations.

Abstract
Patients with peritoneal metastasis (PM) from pancreatic cancer have a short life expectancy. Systemic combination chemotherapy leads to a median overall survival of 7-8 months. Pressurized IntraPeritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a treatment alternative, where studies in patients with PM from ovarian, gastric and colorectal cancer show a high safety profile and interesting results. This case study report data on the PIPAC treatment in patients with PM from pancreatic cancer. In a standard laparoscopy, chemotherapeutics (cisplatin and doxorubicin) are nebulized within the peritoneal cavity. After 30 min, the chemotherapeutics are evacuated through a closed system. The PIPAC procedure is repeated every 4-6 weeks. Five patients with PM from pancreatic cancer were treated with a total of 16 PIPAC procedures. All patients received >1 PIPAC and were eligible for evaluation of histological regression. Four patients demonstrated histological regression, and one patient had stable disease. Three patients are still alive, and the median overall survival is 14 months (range 10-20) since the diagnosis of PM. The histological regression and survival figures in this pilot study suggest activity of PIPAC with low-dose cisplatin and doxorubicin in pretreated peritoneal metastasis of pancreatic origin. This should now be evaluated in prospective studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the clinical efficacy of intravenous (i.v.) and intraperitoneal (i.p.) paclitaxel (PTX) combined with S-1 in patients with chemotherapy-naïve pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with peritoneal metastasis. METHODS Forty-nine patients were diagnosed with peritoneal metastasis during 2007-2014; 29 received gemcitabine or S-1-based chemo(radio)therapy from 2007 to 2011 (control group), and the remaining 20 received i.v. (50 mg/m2 ) and i.p. (20 mg/m2 ) PTX on days 1 and 8, and S-1 at 80 mg/m2 per day for 14 consecutive days, followed by 7 days of rest from 2012 to 2014 (study group). RESULTS The median survival time in the study group was significantly longer than that in the control group (20 vs. 10 months, respectively; P = 0.004). At 1 year after initial treatment, a significant difference in ascites development on CT was found between the study (5/20 patients) and the control group (18/29 patients, P = 0.009). The frequency of objective response (9/20 patients) and conversion surgery (6/20 patients) in the study group was higher than those in the control group (8/29 and 2/29, respectively). Patients who underwent conversion surgery had improved survival in both groups. CONCLUSION Implementation of the S-1+i.v./i.p. PTX regimen was closely associated with improved overall survival in PDAC patients with peritoneal metastasis.
