Обзор
Background: Advanced ovarian cancer is a highly dangerous disease, and many patients lose their lives due to limited treatment effectiveness. Previous studies have shown that current immunotherapy (e.g., PD-1 inhibitors) has poor results in ovarian cancer. The research team discovered that adding "heated abdominal chemotherapy" (called HIPEC, which uses a heated drug solution to wash the abdomen) to standard chemotherapy helps patients better control tumors. Recent lab studies also found that HIPEC not only reduces "harmful cells" around tumors that block drug effectiveness but also makes immunotherapy drugs work better. Animal experiments further confirmed that combining HIPEC with immunotherapy improves outcomes. Therefore, the investigators aim to test a key question: Can HIPEC help immunotherapy drugs work more effectively in humans? Study Details: The study will conduct a small two-phase trial, planning to enroll 30 patients with advanced ovarian cancer (Stage IIIc-IVA). All participants will receive standard chemotherapy (paclitaxel + platinum drugs) combined with HIPEC and an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor). The main goal is to check whether tumors are completely removed after surgery. Investigators will also track how long tumors stay under control, overall survival time, treatment safety, and use blood and tumor tissue tests to find biomarkers that predict treatment response. Why This Matters: The study hopes to identify a safe method to enhance immunotherapy effectiveness and offer improved outcomes for advanced ovarian cancer patients.
Подробное описание
Advanced ovarian cancer carries a high mortality rate, and improving prognosis remains a clinical challenge, particularly given the limited efficacy of immunotherapy observed in prior studies. Prior randomized controlled trial demonstrated that hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) enhances the effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in ovarian cancer. Further preclinical studies revealed that HIPEC reduces cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the tumor microenvironment, alleviates immunosuppressive phenotypes, and synergizes with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in animal models. Building on this evidence, it is hypothesized that HIPEC sensitizes ovarian cancer to ICIs. This prospective single-arm trial employs a Simon's two-stage design to evaluate HIPEC combined with tislelizumab (an anti-PD-1 agent) and standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy (paclitaxel/platinum) in 30 patients with FIGO stage IIIc-IVA high-grade serous ovarian cancer. The primary endpoint is R0 resection rate, with secondary endpoints including progression-free survival, overall survival, safety, pathological response, and multi-omics biomarker exploration. The study aims to validate HIPEC's role in enhancing ICI efficacy and provide evidence for improving immunotherapy outcomes in advanced ovarian cancer.
Вмешательства
- Препарат ICI-HIPET
Patients received the following interventions: On Day 0, intravenous administration of tislelizumab (an anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor) was initiated within 3 hours post-HIPEC. Tumor tissue samples were collected before HIPEC, at 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90 minutes (end of HIPEC). Serum samples were collected pre- and post-HIPEC. On Day 1, additional serum samples were collected 24 hours after HIPEC-ICI completion. From Days 2-3, patients underwent paclitaxel + carboplatin chemotherapy
