First seen Feb 03, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study tests a treatment for stomach cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal carcinomatosis). About 40 adults who have already had at least 3 months of standard chemotherapy will receive a combination of intravenous (IV) and intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy (paclitaxel, 5-FU, leucovorin). The goal is to see if this approach can delay cancer growth and improve survival, while monitoring side effects. This is a phase 2 trial, meaning it is still being tested for safety and effectiveness.
