Trial Outcomes & Findings for Trial Evaluating Feasibility and Quality of Life of Second Look Laparoscopy With Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (NCT NCT04415944)

NCT ID: NCT04415944

Last Updated: 2026-08-10

Results Overview

The proportion of feasibility is defined as the number of patients who successfully undergo SLL and HIPEC divided by the number of patients who are eligible and consent to participate. The feasibility proportion and its 95% confidence interval will be estimated.

Second Look Laparoscopy and HIPEC With Carboplatin
Laparoscopic assessment of disease status of the peritoneal cavity with lysis of adhesions as necessary noting either no gross residual disease or minimal residual disease prior to or after resection. This is performed prior to establishment of a peritoneal perfusion circuit and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Second look laparoscopy reassessment surgery (SLLRS): Performed less than 12 weeks after intravenous chemotherapy cycles are completed. HIPEC with Carboplatin: Patient receives HIPEC with CBDCA 800 mg/m2 for 90 minutes. Patients who exhibit the following will not receive the HIPEC procedure: * Extraperitoneal disease noted at the time of the second look procedure * Macroscopic intraperitoneal disease which is not resectable to R1 * Technical problems which prevent continuous, adequate flow to maintain intraperitoneal temperature to 41°C during perfusion * Intraoperative complications such as cardiac or pulmonary instability precluding HIPEC Participation will consist of completing surveys regarding their cancer and allowing researchers to use information from their medical records for research. FACT-O Quality of Life Questionnaire: Participants will be asked to do this three times (pre-study, 3 months and 6 months). Surveys will be given at follow up visits for surgery. They should take about 10-15 minutes to complete.

The quality of life in patients with advanced ovarian cancer after undergoing second look laparoscopy reassessment surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy using Carboplatin (CBDCA) will be determined by the FACT-O questionnaire at pre-study, and months 3, and 6 in follow-up (post-treatment). The distribution of quality of life at each visit will be examined and the descriptive statistics will be presented. Scoring scale - (0 = not at all, 1 = a little bit, 2 = somewhat, 3 = quite a bit, and 4 = very much) and includes questions relating to Physical Well-Being (7 items), Social Well-being (7 items), Functional Well-Being (7 items), Emotional Well-Being (6 items) and Additional Ovarian Cancer Concerns (12-item). Scores could range from 0-156. Higher scores are associated with better QOL.
