Brief Summary:
The PIPAC nab-pac study is designed to examine the maximal tolerated dose of albumin bound nanoparticle paclitaxel (nab-pac, Abraxane) administered with repeated pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC), in a multicentre, multinational phase I trial.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Ovarian Cancer Stage IIIB Ovarian Cancer Stage IIIC Ovarian Cancer Stage IV Breast Cancer Stage IIIB Breast Cancer Stage IIIc Breast Cancer Stage IV Stomach Cancer Stage III Stomach Cancer Stage IV With Metastases Pancreas Cancer, Stage III Pancreas Cancer, Stage IV Drug: PIPAC with Abraxane Phase 1

Detailed Description:

Over 85% of women with ovarian cancer (OC) will develop a peritoneal recurrence after initial therapy. The prognosis of patients with recurrent disease is poor, with a median survival ranging from 12 to 24 months. Most of these patients ultimately develop platinum resistant disease (PROC). Current systemic therapy results in a very modest improvement of progression free and overall survival. The addition of locoregional, intraperitoneal (IP) therapy may improve disease control in recurrent OC. Recently, pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol therapy (PIPAC) was added to the therapeutic arsenal. This novel technique allows repeated laparoscopy aided aerosol delivery of anticancer drugs to the peritoneal cavity. Abraxane (nab-pac, Celgene) is a novel 130 nm, albumin-bound (nab) nanoparticle formulation of paclitaxel which has noteworthy single-agent activity and a favourable toxicity profile when used systemically in PROC. A recent phase I study showed a significant pharmacokinetic advantage after IP instillation of nab-pac in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from ovarian or gastro-intestinal (GI) origin.

In phase I of this study, dose escalation will be combined with pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modelling which incorporates, in addition to plasma, tumour tissue, and peritoneal drug concentrations, biomarkers of toxicity and efficacy.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of Abraxane [ Time Frame: Within 14 weeks of the start of the treatment ]
    Dose limiting toxicities will be monitored.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Surgical morbidity will be measured [ Time Frame: 6 months after third PIPAC ]
    This will be estimated with the Dindo-Clavien classification

  2. Maximum plasma concentration of Abraxane [ Time Frame: T = 0 minutes, T = 15 minutes, T = 30 minutes, T = 60 minutes, T = 1.5 hour, T = 2 hours, T = 4 hours, T = 8 hours, T = 12 hours, T = 24 hours ]
    Abraxane will be measured in plasma, using UPLC-MS/MS.

  3. Area Under The Curve (AUC) of Abraxane [ Time Frame: T = 0 minutes, T = 15 minutes, T = 30 minutes, T = 60 minutes, T = 1.5 hour, T = 2 hours, T = 4 hours, T = 8 hours, T = 12 hours, T = 24 hours ]
    Abraxane will be measured in plasma, using LC-MS/MS.

  4. Pharmacodynamics (PD) of Abraxane will be analysed using biomarkers [ Time Frame: T = 0 weeks, T = 1 week for every PIPAC ]
    Tumour markers will be analysed - CA15.3 in case of breast cancer, CEA in case of stomach cancer, CA19.9 in case of pancreatic cancer, CA125 in case of ovarian cancer.

  5. Pharmacodynamics (PD) of Abraxane will be analyzed by tumour biopsies [ Time Frame: T = 30 minutes ]
    Tumour samples will be collected (5x5x5 mm³) at the end of the aerosol delivery after each PIPAC procedure.

  6. Quality of Life (The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire, EORTC QLQ-C30) [ Time Frame: Pre-operatively (every PIPAC), week 2 (every PIPAC) and, month 2 and month 6 (after the third PIPAC) ]

    This will be investigated using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. As to question 1 to 28: the scale varies from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much). A higher value indicates a lower quality of life. The total score will be between 28 and 112.

    The scale of question 29 and 30 varies from 1 (very poor) to 7 (excellent). The higher the value, the better the quality of life. The total score will be between 2 and 14.


  7. Quality of Life (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy, FACT-G questionnaire) [ Time Frame: Pre-operatively (every PIPAC), week 2 (every PIPAC) and, month 2 and month 6 (after the third PIPAC) ]
    This will be investigated using the FACT-G questionnaire. The scale of all questions varies from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). The total score will be between 0 and 108. The lower the total score, the better the quality of life.

  8. Neutropenia - number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 [ Time Frame: Pre-operatively, and 12 hours, 24 hours and 1 week after each PIPAC ]
    Blood samples will be collected to analyse the absolute neutrophil count

  9. Decreased platelets - number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 [ Time Frame: Pre-operatively, and 12 hours, 24 hours and 1 week after each PIPAC ]
    Blood samples will be collected to analyse the amount of platelets.
