Abstract
Standard treatment for patient with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer is cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). In recent years, the efficacy of oxaliplatin-based HIPEC has been challenged. An intensified HIPEC (oxaliplatin+irinotecan) in combination with early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) has shown increased recurrence-free survival in retrospective studies. The aim of this trial is to develop a new HIPEC/EPIC regimen and evaluate its effect on morbidity, oncological outcome, and quality-of-life (QoL). This study is designed as a combined phase I/III multicenter randomized trial (RCT) of patients with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer eligible for CRS-HIPEC. An initial phase I dose escalation study, designed as a 3+3 stepwise escalation, will determine the maximum tolerable dose of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) as 1-day EPIC, enrolling a total of 15-30 patients in 5 dose levels. In the phase III efficacy study, patients are randomly assigned intraoperatively to either the standard treatment with oxaliplatin HIPEC (control arm) or oxaliplatin/irinotecan-HIPEC in combination with single dose of 1-day 5-FU EPIC (experimental arm). 5-FU is administered intraoperatively after CRS-HIPEC and closure of the abdomen. The primary endpoint is 12-month recurrence-free survival. Secondary endpoints include 5-year overall survival, 5-year recurrence-free survival (registry based), postoperative complications, and QoL up to 3 years after study treatment. This phase I/III trial aims to identify a more effective treatment of colorectal peritoneal metastases by combination of HIPEC and EPIC.

[PMID: 32696309 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-020-08870-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2020] [Accepted: 06/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We characterized the peritoneal immune cellular profile during cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in this pilot study. METHODS We prospectively performed flow cytometric analysis of peritoneal fluid collected at laparotomy and during HIPEC at 0, 30, 60, and 90 min. Analysis consisted of standard flow cytometric leukocyte gating and the use of antibodies for stem cells, B lymphocytes, T-helper, T-suppressor, and natural killer (NK) cells. RESULTS The mean peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) score was 19.8 ± 11.5 (median 19). Twelve patients had a completeness of cytoreduction (CCR) score of 0-1, and three patients had a CCR score of ≥ 2 (20%). The proportion of peritoneal NK cells remained stable (p = 0.655) throughout perfusion. The CD4/CD8 ratio (p = 0.019) and granulocyte/lymphocyte ratio (p = 0.018) evolved during cytoreduction, with no further change during HIPEC. Two distinct temporal patterns of peritoneal T lymphocytes became evident (the 'high' and 'low' CD4/CD8 ratio groups) and patients maintained their high versus low peritoneal CD4/CD8 ratio status throughout the duration of HIPEC. High CD4/CD8 was associated with longer cytoreduction (p = 0.019) and borderline higher PCI score (p = 0.058). No association was identified with age (p = 0.131), sex (p = 1.000), CCR status (p = 0.580), occurrence of complication (p = 0.282), or ascites volume (p = 0.713). CONCLUSION The cellular immunoprofile of peritoneal fluid during HIPEC is stable but changes during cytoreduction. Two distinct immune groups emerged, based on CD4/CD8 ratios in the peritoneal perfusate. Further studies are warranted to evaluate peritoneal immunity and the clinical significance of novel peritoneal immune phenotype.
