Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Intra-peritoneal Infusion of Catumaxomab and Treatment of Investigator Choice in Patients With Advanced Gastric Carcinoma With Peritoneal Metastasis

A total of 297 subjects are estimated to enroll in the study, with 15 eligible subjects enrolled in the 1st stage at most and 282 evaluable subjects in the 2nd stage. All subjects are adult patients with age over 18-year-old; they must be diagnosed with recurrent or metastatic gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis at the time of enrollment; and failed at least prior two standard systemic anti-cancer therapies for recurrent or metastatic gastric cancer, before enrollment. In the first stage, pharmacokinetic characteristics and preliminary safety of catumaxomab will be explored in Asian patients with gastric cancer ; in Cohort A, the enrolled subjects will receive the first infusion at 10?g on day 1, which will be increased to 20 ?g, 50 ?g and 150 ?g on days 4, 8 and 11, respectively. 42 days are defined as a cycle. From the second cycle, catumaxomab will be changed to 20 ?g, 50 ?g, 150 ?g on days 1, 4, 8 respectively. In Cohort B, 28 days are defined as a cycle. It is estimated to enroll 6 subjects in each cohort first. In the second stage, approximate 282 subjects who meet the enrollment criteria are randomized into either catumaxomab infusion group (catumaxomab group) or treatment of investigator choice group (IC group), at a ratio of 2:1. Subjects at the first and second stages will continue the treatment until one of the following conditions occurs:1)Significant progression of tumor lesions, including but not limited to peritoneal metastases lesions and/or ascites; 2)Intolerable toxicity; 3)The investigator believes that patients need to withdraw from the study and receive other treatment;4)death;5)Withdrawal of informed consent.

Tissue Procurement and Natural History Study of Patients With Malignant Mesothelioma

Background: Malignant mesothelioma is a malignancy arising from the mesothelial cells of the pleura, peritoneum, pericardium, or tunica vaginalis. Mesothelioma accounts for 0.10% of deaths annually in the United States. Malignant pleural mesothelioma is the most common of these, comprising of 80% of the cases with an annual incidence of about 2,500 in the United States. The median survival from diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma is approximately 12 months. The majority of patients present with stage III or IV disease with 85-90% of patients considered unresectable at diagnosis. Peritoneal mesothelioma has a better prognosis than pleural mesothelioma; nevertheless, patients undergoing therapy for peritoneal mesothelioma have few well-studied treatment options due in large part to the rarity of the disease. Objectives: -To allow sample acquisition for use in the study of mesothelioma. Eligibility: All patients age greater than or equal to 2 years with malignant mesothelioma Must be able and willing to provide informed consent if 18 or over; parent or guardian must be able and willing to provide consent for patients under the age of 18 Design: Up to 1000 subjects will be enrolled. Patients will be followed to determine the course of disease and to record any treatment received for mesothelioma. Patients will undergo sampling of blood, urine, tumor and abnormal body fluids for tissue banking. Studies which may be performed on banked material include genetic and genomic studies, establishment of cell cultures and immunologic studies.

Comparison of the Efficiency Between Intraoperative and Postoperative Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy With Docetaxel Combine Oxaliplatin in Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer

Advanced gastric cancer has always been the focus and difficulty in the treatment of gastric cancer, and postoperative peritoneal recurrence is one of the key factors with poor prognosis. in recent years, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been used in the treatment of advanced peritoneal metastases and achieved remarkable results. Existing studies have shown that postoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy plays a certain role in reducing postoperative peritoneal recurrence of advanced gastric cancer. Our previous studies have shown that hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy adopted docetaxel combine oxaliplatin can also reduce the peritoneal recurrence of advanced gastric cancer. At present, there is a lack of comparison of the safety and efficacy of intraoperative and postoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. In this study, patients with advanced gastric cancer were selected by preoperative imaging, endoscopic ultrasonography and other examinations. The patients were randomly divided into group A: D1-2 radical gastrectomy plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy of docetaxel + oxaliplatin. Group B: D1-2 radical gastrectomy + postoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy of docetaxel + oxaliplatin and group C: D1-2 radical radical gastrectomy .The three groups both proceed postoperative conventional adjuvant chemotherapy?SOX/XELOX?.The incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage and other complications were collected, and the safety differences among the three groups were compared. The three-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (PFS), and disease-related mortality were evaluated and the long-term effects among the three groups were compared.
