GOG 172 trial showed a dramatic improvement of overall survival in patients with stage III disease treated with intraperitoneal cisplatin and paclitaxel compared with those with intravenous administration. Currently, prospective cohort study showed a survival benefit of intraperitoneal chemotherapy
Heated Intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has several potential benefits. High-dose chemotherapy can be used due to the plasma-peritoneal barrier resulting in little absorption into the blood stream. Additionally, there is higher peritoneal penetration in comparison to IV regimen, and does not
The goal of this study is to determine a tolerated dose of the combination of TAK-228, TAK-117 and paclitaxel. To do this, investigators will estimate the maximum tolerated dose that is defined as the dose level at which less than one-third of patients will experience a dose-limiting toxicity. A
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the safety of an active implantable (radiological) medical device OncoSil™, when implanted into patients with pancreatic cancer, in conjunction with Standard chemotherapy. OncoSil™, is an experimental treatment and carries the active treatment
