PIPAC with mitomycin for peritoneal cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to deliver chemotherapy directly into the abdomen (called PIPAC) for people with cancer spread to the lining of the belly. It uses the drug mitomycin and is for patients who cannot have standard surgery or heated chemotherapy.

This Phase 1 trial tests PIPAC, a way to deliver anti-cancer medicine directly into the abdomen using a minimally invasive procedure. It is for people with peritoneal spread from certain cancers to see whether this approach is safe and potentially helpful.
This trial tests a special chemotherapy delivery method called PIPAC (pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy) for ovarian cancer that has spread within the abdomen. The goal is to deliver cancer-fighting drugs more effectively directly to where the cancer is.
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 study looks at adding a heated medicine treatment (HIPEC with mitomycin C) during surgery to treat colon cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum). It aims to improve outcomes after surgeons remove visible tumor completely.
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 study tests a new way to deliver chemotherapy directly into the abdomen (called PIPAC) for women with advanced ovarian cancer who cannot have surgery to remove all tumors. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and helps slow cancer growth.
