Ovary Neoplasms Ovarian Cancer Ovarian Carcinoma | Drug: HIPEC | Phase 3 |
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy, in terms of disease-free survival (DFS), the use of HIPEC treatment combined with standard care (PDS or IDS) or standard care alone (PDS or IDS alone).
Secondary objectives of the study include:
- Evaluating the efficacy of HIPEC in terms of overall survival (OS) in combination with standard of care
- Evaluating the morbidity associated with HIPEC.
- Evaluating the trade-off between efficacy and morbidity using the Q-TWiST approach.
- Evaluating the impact of HIPEC in terms of quality of life.
Exploratory objectives (optional) include:
- Evaluating the impact of HIPEC on the count of residual viable cells (evaluated by flow cytometry) in abdominal drainage fluids for patients recruited in Centre Oscar Lambret only.
- Constituting a biobank (tumoral samples and blood samples) for future translational researches

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Arm A (PDS or IDS + HIPEC)
Surgery (Primary Debulking Surgery (PDS) or Interval Debulking Surgery (IDS)) + Neo or Adjuvant chemotherapy (standard care) + HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy) Patients in this experimental arm will receive surgery (either PDS or IDS) and Neo and/or Adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) (as per standard care) combined with HIPEC. Patients undergoing PDS will also be receiving 6 cycles adjuvant CT according to the standard care (ideally 6 weeks post-surgery). Patient undergoing IDS will start with 6 cycles of neo-adjuvant CT with a 3 - 5 weeks washout period (4 - 6 weeks if administered Bevacizumab) prior to surgery. They may also undergo additional adjuvant CT post-surgery according to the standard care. |
Drug: HIPEC
HIPEC protocol (ONLY Arm A) consisted in cisplatin 100mg/m2 intraperitoneally (IP), heated to 40°C for 90 minutes, along with an IV perfusion of sodium thiosulfate. Administration of the dose should be according the following schedule:
Other Name: Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy |
No Intervention: Arm B (PDS or IDS)
Surgery (Primary Debulking Surgery (PDS) or Interval Debulking Surgery (IDS)) + Neo or Adjuvant chemotherapy ONLY (standard care, without HIPEC) Patients in the control group will ONLY receive the standard care, which consists of surgery (PDS or IDS) with Neo and/or Adjuvant chemotherapy (CT). Patients undergoing PDS will be receiving 6 cycles adjuvant CT according to the standard care (ideally 6 weeks post-surgery). Patient undergoing IDS will start with 6 cycles of neo-adjuvant CT with a 3 - 5 weeks washout period (4 - 6 weeks if administered Bevacizumab) prior to surgery. They may also undergo additional adjuvant CT post-surgery according to the standard care. |
- Disease-free Survival (DFS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to first progression, relapse or death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years. (Follow-up up to 5 years) ]The DFS will be measured to assess the efficacy of the combination treatment of surgery and HIPEC or standard care alone.
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: From randomization to first progression, relapse or death from any cause , whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years.. ]The overall survival will be measured to assess the efficacy of HIPEC in combination with standard care.
- Adverse events (AE) [ Time Frame: Covers the whole treatment duration from Randomization up to the end of treatment (surgery or CT) plus 30 days. ]The adverse events (AE) are collected to evaluate the impact of HIPEC on the safety and on the feasibility of adjuvant treatment (if any) is planned after surgery.
- Q-TWiST [ Time Frame: Over the 5 year surveillance period ]Q-Twist (Quality-adjusted time without symptoms of disease or toxicity) will be calculated from the survival tile (OS and DFS) and AE (adverse events) data.
- Quality of life of the patient (QLQC30) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years after the end of treatment (every 3 month) ]European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Score 30 (QLQ-C30) will be used to measure the quality of life of the patients.
- Quality of life of the patient (QLQOV28) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years after the end of treatment (every 3 month) ]European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Ovarian Cancer Module (QLQ-OV28) will be used to measure the quality of life of the patients.
