Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested a treatment for peritoneal carcinosis, a cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen from the stomach, bowel, or appendix. The approach combined surgery to remove visible tumors with heated chemotherapy drugs (mitomycin C and irinotecan) pumped directly into the abdomen during the operation. The trial enrolled 18 people and focused on finding safe drug doses and tracking side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
mitomycin C and irinotecan (chemotherapy drugs)
What this could lead to
If this approach proves safe and effective, it could offer a treatment option for people with peritoneal cancer that has spread from the digestive system.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, early-phase study (18 people) focused on safety and dosing, not on curing the disease. The combination of major surgery and heated chemotherapy carries significant risks, including serious complications.
