PHASE II EVALUATION OF CYTOREDUCTION SURGERY AND HYPERTHERMIC INTRAPERITONEAL CHEMOTHERAPY (CRS/HIPEC) IN GASTRIC CANCER
What this study is about
This is a Phase II treatment study analyzing the role of preoperative chemotherapy, preoperative laparoscopic HIPEC, and gastrectomy with CRS/HIPEC in gastric adenocarcinoma patients with cytology-positive only carcinomatosis, radiologically-occult carcinomatosis, or radiology apparent peritoneal-surface only metastatic disease.

Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- 1\) Age 18 years and above. There will be no upper age restriction. 2)ECOG performance status ≤ 2. (See Appendix A -ECOG Performance Status Scale). 3)Cytologic or histologic proof of adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction. 4)Adequate renal, and bone marrow function:
- Leukocytes \>= 3,000/uL
- Absolute neutrophil count \>= 1,500/uL
- Platelets \>= 60,000/Ul
- Serum creatinine \<= 1.5 mg/dL 5)Distant metastatic disease of peritoneum may be visualized on imaging: <!-- -->
- Positive peritoneal cytology only
- Carcinomatosis on diagnostic laparoscopy or laparotomy.
Exclusion criteria
- 1)Distant metastatic disease not limited to peritoneum:
- Solid organ metastases (liver, central nervous system, lung). 2) Infections such as pneumonia or wound infections that would preclude protocol therapy. 3\) Women with a positive urine or serum pregnancy test are excluded from this study; women ofchildbearing potential (defined as those who have not undergone a hysterectomy or who have not been postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months) must agree to refrain from breast feeding and practice adequate contraception as specified in the informed consent. Adequate contraception consists of oral contraceptive, implantable contraceptives, injectable contraceptives, a double barrier method, or abstinence. 4)Participants with unstable angina or New York Heart Association Grade II or greater congestive heart failure. 5\) Participants deemed unable to comply with study and/or follow-up procedures. 6)Participants with a known hypersensitivity to protocol systemic chemotherapy that was life-threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, or resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
