A Multicenter Randomized Trial to Evaluate Hematologic Toxicities after Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy with Oxaliplatin or Mitomycin in Patients with Appendiceal Tumors.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Appendiceal cancer is a rare disease that has proven difficult to study in prospective trials. Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is an established therapy for peritoneal dissemination from appendiceal cancer. The optimal chemotherapeutic agent to use in the HIPEC is not clear. Mitomycin has long been used, however, our previous phase I experience and European retrospective studies suggest oxaliplatin as an alternative. Therefore, we initiated a multicenter randomized trial to compare mitomycin with oxaliplatin HIPEC for appendiceal cancer. STUDY DESIGN:Patients with mucinous appendiceal neoplasms with evidence of peritoneal dissemination underwent cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC using a closed technique for 120 minutes. Patients were randomized intraoperatively to HIPEC using mitomycin (40 mg) or oxaliplatin (200 mg/M2). Follow-up included daily blood counts and toxicity assessments. RESULTS:One hundred and twenty-one analytic patients were accrued to the trial during 6 years at 3 sites. The patients were 57% female, with a mean age of 55.3 years (range 22 to 82 years). The disease was low grade in 77% and high grade in 23%. There were no significant differences in hemoglobin or platelet counts. The WBC was significantly lower in the mitomycin group between postoperative days 5 and 10. Overall and disease-free survival rates at 3 years were similar at 83.7% and 66.8% for mitomycin and 86.9% and 64.8% for oxaliplatin. CONCLUSIONS:This represents the first completed prospective randomized trial for cancer of the appendix, and shows that multicenter trials for this disease are feasible. Both mitomycin and oxaliplatin are associated with minor hematologic toxicity. However, mitomycin has slightly higher hematologic toxicity and lower quality of life than oxaliplatin in HIPEC. Consequently, oxaliplatin might be preferred in patients with leukopenia and mitomycin preferred in patients with thrombocytopenia due to earlier chemotherapy.

Project description:IntroductionIn patients with limited peritoneal metastasis (PM) originating from colorectal cancer, cytoreductive surgery (CRS) followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a potentially curative treatment option. This combined treatment modality using HIPEC with mitomycin C (MMC) for 90 minutes proved to be superior to systemic chemotherapy alone, but no benefit of adding HIPEC to CRS alone was shown using oxaliplatin-based HIPEC during 30 minutes. We investigated the impact of treatment temperature and duration as relevant HIPEC parameters for these two chemotherapeutic agents in representative preclinical models. The temperature- and duration- dependent efficacy for both oxaliplatin and MMC was evaluated in an in vitro setting and in a representative animal model.MethodsIn 130 WAG/Rij rats, PM were established through i.p. injections of rat CC-531 colon carcinoma cells with a signature similar to the dominant treatment-resistant CMS4 type human colorectal PM. Tumor growth was monitored twice per week using ultrasound, and HIPEC was applied when most tumors were 4-6 mm. A semi-open four-inflow HIPEC setup was used to circulate oxaliplatin or MMC through the peritoneum for 30, 60 or 90 minutes with inflow temperatures of 38°C or 42°C to achieve temperatures in the peritoneum of 37°C or 41°C. Tumors, healthy tissue and blood were collected directly or 48 hours after treatment to assess the platinum uptake, level of apoptosis and proliferation and to determine the healthy tissue toxicity.ResultsIn vitro results show a temperature- and duration- dependent efficacy for both oxaliplatin and MMC in both CC-531 cells and organoids. Temperature distribution throughout the peritoneum of the rats was stable with normothermic and hyperthermic average temperatures in the peritoneum ranging from 36.95-37.63°C and 40.51-41.37°C, respectively. Treatments resulted in minimal body weight decrease (<10%) and only 7/130 rats did not reach the endpoint of 48 hours after treatment.ConclusionsBoth elevated temperatures and longer treatment duration resulted in a higher platinum uptake, significantly increased apoptosis and lower proliferation in PM tumor lesions, without enhanced normal tissue toxicity. Our results demonstrated that oxaliplatin- and MMC-based HIPEC procedures are both temperature- and duration-dependent in an in vivo tumor model.
