Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy combined with intravenous chemotherapy in peritoneal metastatic pancreatic cancer. The main question it aims to answer are: (1) Does this combined approach increase 1-year survival rates? and (2) What is the safety profile of this treatment regimen? Participants will: undergo baseline imaging and surgical exploration to confirm peritoneal metastasis, receive two cycles of intraperitoneal cisplatin HIPEC (70mg/m²) postoperatively, followed by systemic AG chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine), with treatment adjustments based on regular imaging assessments and multidisciplinary team (MDT) recommendations.
Interventions
- Combination product Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) with Cisplatin + Systemic AG Chemotherapy
* HIPEC (cisplatin 70mg/m², Day 1,3 post-surgery), 1 cycle; * Systemic AG chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel 125mg/m²+ gemcitabine 1000mg/m², initiated, Day 1,8,15, q4 week), 4 cycles
Primary outcome measures
- 1-year Overall Survival (OS) Rate [Time frame: From enrollment to 12 months post-treatment initiation]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Progression-free survival (PFS) [Time frame: From enrollment until first documented progression or death (up to 24 months)]
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [Time frame: From enrollment until end of treatment (up to 12 months)]
- Safety and Tolerability (CTCAE v5.0) [Time frame: From first HIPEC cycle to 30 days after last treatment (up to 13 months)]
