Spray chemotherapy for colon cancer spread in the belly
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to give chemotherapy by spraying it into the belly during a minimally invasive surgery. It is for people whose colon or rectal cancer has spread inside the belly (peritoneal metastasis) but not to other organs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new combination treatment for colorectal cancer that has spread only to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum). It combines targeted radiation, an immunotherapy drug called cadonilimab, and standard chemotherapy to see if it can help control the disease better than current options.
This trial tests whether adding a special chemotherapy mist sprayed directly into the abdomen helps people with colon cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly. It compares this approach to standard chemotherapy alone.
This trial tests a new way to give chemotherapy directly into the belly as a fine mist (called PIPAC) for people whose cancer has spread there. The goal is to see if it’s safe and helps shrink or control the cancer.
This Phase 2 study tests whether spraying chemotherapy into the abdomen (through a small procedure) after colon cancer surgery can lower the chance the cancer comes back. It is meant for people with high-risk tumor features but who have had surgery and have no proven relapse yet.
This trial tests a new way to give chemotherapy – as a fine mist sprayed directly into the belly during a short laparoscopy (keyhole surgery). It is for people whose stomach, pancreas, or colon cancer has spread to the lining of the belly, and who haven't had much chemotherapy before.
This trial tests a new way to deliver chemotherapy directly into the abdomen as a pressurized spray, using a drug called mitomycin. It is for people with appendix or colorectal cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen and cannot be removed by surgery.
