Heated chemo during surgery shows promise for rare abdominal cancer
NCT ID NCT03127774
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether giving heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen during surgery can help people with a rare and aggressive adrenal cancer that has spread within the belly. About 30 participants will have surgery to remove visible tumors, followed by a wash of heated cisplatin. The main goal is to see how long they live without the cancer coming back.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Cisplatin (heated chemotherapy given into the abdomen during surgery)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a way to delay cancer recurrence in patients with adrenocortical carcinoma that has spread within the abdomen.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Heated chemotherapy also carries risks of serious side effects like kidney damage and infection.
