Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18-75 with a confirmed diagnosis of gastric cancer and peritoneal metastasis, who meet specific health criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients with other malignant tumors within the past five years or those who have received prior treatments such as radiation or chemotherapy may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial is a single-center, phase II investigation that evaluates the effectiveness of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) combined with systemic chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients suffering from gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis. The study aims to determine the impact of this treatment regimen on the rate of complete tumor resection (R0), overall survival, progression-free survival, and the incidence of adverse reactions. By utilizing a comprehensive treatment protocol, the trial seeks to enhance the prognosis for patients facing this advanced stage of gastric cancer.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment approach could significantly improve survival rates and quality of life for patients with advanced gastric cancer and peritoneal metastasis.

How similar studies have gone: While HIPEC combined with systemic therapies has shown promise in other studies, this specific combination is still being evaluated and represents a novel approach.
