Direct-to-Abdomen chemo trial offers hope for tough cancers

NCT ID NCT01061515

Summary

This early-stage study is testing whether delivering one chemotherapy drug directly into the abdomen, while giving two others by mouth and vein, is safe and tolerable for people with advanced abdominal cancer from colorectal or appendix tumors. The treatment is given after surgery to remove visible cancer. Researchers want to find the highest dose patients can handle while monitoring how the cancer responds over time.
