Pharmacokinetics of concomitant cisplatin and paclitaxel administered by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy to patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from epithelial ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT: Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is advised as a treatment option for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) with peritoneal carcinomatosis. This study was designed to define the pharmacokinetics of cisplatin (CDDP) and paclitaxel (PTX) administered together during HIPEC.Thirteen women with EOC underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and HIPEC, with CDDP and PTX. Blood, peritoneal perfusate and tissue samples were harvested to determine drug exposure by high-performance liquid chromatography and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization imaging mass spectrometry (IMS).The mean maximum concentrations of CDDP and PTX in perfusate were, respectively, 24.8±10.4 μg ml(-1) and 69.8±14.3 μg ml(-1); in plasma were 1.87±0.4 μg ml(-1) and 0.055±0.009 μg ml(-1). The mean concentrations of CDDP and PTX in peritoneum at the end of HIPEC were 23.3±8.0 μg g(-1) and 30.1±18.3 μg(-1)g(-1), respectively. The penetration of PTX into the peritoneal wall, determined by IMS, was about 0.5 mm. Grade 3-4 surgical complications were recorded in four patients, five patients presented grade 3 and two patients presented grade 4 hematological complications.HIPEC with CDDP and PTX after CRS is feasible with acceptable morbidity and has a favorable pharmacokinetic profile: high drug concentrations are achieved in peritoneal tissue with low systemic exposure. Larger studies are needed to demonstrate its efficacy in patients with microscopic postsurgical residual tumours in the peritoneal cavity.

Project description:BackgroundBioelectric impedance analysis (BIA)-measured body composition and nutritional status have been used as prognostic indicators in various cancer cohorts. This study investigated whether BIA could provide information on prognosis in peritoneal carcinomatosis patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the data of 99 patients with preoperative BIA data among those who underwent CRS and HIPEC. The association between BIA-derived parameters and intraoperative peritoneal cancer index (PCI) score was assessed. Predictive analysis for the occurrence of postoperative morbidities including major complications (Clavien-Dindo classification 3-4) and re-admission within 30 days after surgery as well as 1 year mortality was also performed.ResultsBIA-derived mineral (r = 0.224, p = 0.027), fat (r = - 0.202, p = 0.048), and total body water (TBW)/fat-free mass (FFM) (r = - 0.280, p = 0.005) showed significant associations with intraoperative PCI score. Lower TBW/FFM was an independent predictor of major postoperative complications (OR 0.047, 95% CI 0.003-0.749, p = 0.031) and re-admission (OR 0.094, 95% CI 0.014-0.657, p = 0.017) within 30 days after surgery. Higher fat mass was also independently associated with a higher risk of major postoperative complications (OR 1.120, 95% CI 1.006-1.248, p = 0.039) and re-admission (OR 1.123, 95% CI 1.024-1.230, p = 0.013). Intraoperative PCI score > 20 (OR 4.489, 95% CI 1.191-16.917, p = 0.027) and re-admission within 30 days after surgery (OR 5.269, 95% CI 1.288-21.547, p = 0.021) independently predicted postoperative 1-year mortality.ConclusionsWe demonstrate that preoperative BIA-derived TBW/FFM and fat mass were significantly correlated with metastatic extent, assessed by PCI score, in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. In addition, BIA-derived TBW/FFM and fat mass showed independent predictability for postoperative 30-day major complications and re-admission in patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC. Our findings suggest that assessment of BIA may improve discrete risk stratification in patients who are planned to receive CRS and HIPEC.

Project description:BackgroundGastric cancer patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) have a poor prognosis, with a median overall survival of 10 months when treated with systemic chemotherapy only. Cohort studies showed that cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) might improve the prognosis for gastric cancer patients with limited PC. Besides generating trial data on clinical effectiveness, it is crucial to timely collect information on economic aspects to guide the reimbursement decision-making process. No previous data have been published on the cost(-effectiveness) of CRS/HIPEC in this group of patients. Therefore, we performed an early model-based cost-effectiveness analysis of CRS/HIPEC for gastric cancer patients with limited PC in the Dutch setting.MethodsWe constructed a two-state (alive-dead) Markov transition model to evaluate costs and clinical outcomes from a Dutch healthcare perspective. Clinical outcomes, transition probabilities and utilities were derived from literature and verified by clinical experts in the field. Costs were measured using two available representative cohorts (2010-2017): one 'systemic chemotherapy only' cohort and one 'CRS/HIPEC' cohort (n = 10 each). Incremental cost-utility ratios (ICURs) were expressed as Euros per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY). We performed probabilistic and deterministic sensitivity, scenario, and value-of-information analyses using a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of €80,000/QALY, which reflects the Dutch norm for severe diseases.ResultsIn the base-case analysis, CRS/HIPEC yielded more QALYs (increment of 0.68) and more costs (increment of €34,706) compared with systemic chemotherapy only, resulting in an ICUR of €50,990/QALY. The probability that CRS/HIPEC was cost effective compared with systemic chemotherapy alone was 64%. To reduce uncertainty, the expected value of perfect information amounted to €4,021,468. The scenario analyses did not alter the results and showed that treatment costs, lifetime health-related quality of life and overall survival had the largest influence on the model.ConclusionsThe presented early cost-effectiveness analysis suggests that adding CRS/HIPEC to systemic chemotherapy for gastric cancer patients with limited PC has a good chance of being cost-effectiveness compared with systemic chemotherapy alone when using a WTP of €80,000/QALY. However, there is substantial uncertainty in view of the current available data on effectiveness. Results from the ongoing phase III PERISCOPE II trial are therefore crucial for further decisions on treatment policy and its cost-effectiveness.
