First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new way to deliver chemotherapy for colorectal cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. Doctors use a spray (PIPAC) to send the drugs mitomycin or raltitrexed directly into the belly during a keyhole surgery. The main goal is to find a safe dose and check for side effects in 42 adults who are also getting standard treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

mitomycin or raltitrexed delivered as a pressurized aerosol into the abdomen

What this could lead to

If this works, it could offer a new way to control colorectal cancer that has spread to the abdomen, potentially improving survival when combined with standard chemotherapy.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 42 people, focused on finding a safe dose, not proving it works. The treatment may cause side effects like nausea, fatigue, or pain, and it is unclear if it will actually help patients live longer.
