China70 participantsStarted 2017-06-01
Plain-language summary
Background: Malignant peritoneal adhesion is a common complication and prognostic factor of ovarian cancer and other primary abdominal tumors. The incidence of peritoneal adhesion in advanced primary peritoneal tumor is 32-56%, which has increased by more than 10 times in the recent decade. Malignant peritoneal adhesion is closely associated with the morbidity and mortality of malignant intestinal obstruction. The peritoneal adhesion may aggravates the abdominal symptoms and reduce quality of life. Further, the peritoneal adhesion may impede treatment of primary tumor, such as operation or chemotherapy, lead to a poor prognosis.
Objective: This study aims to treat malignant peritoneal adhesion with the combination of antiangiogenic agent and chemotherapy, evaluate the efficacy and safety of intraperitoneal antiangiogenic agent plus chemotherapy. As explosive endpoints, we will examination the expression of VEGF-A in peritoneal cavity during the treatment.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?

5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
