Purpose

This is a single-center, open-label, non-randomized, uncontrolled Phase 1 study of intraperitoneal docetaxel in combination with systemic mFOLFOX6 for patients who have gastric cancer with gross peritoneal carcinomatosis (GC-PC).

Detailed Description

      Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the United
      States and has a five-year survival of 40% after surgical resection. Metastatic gastric
      cancer has an even poorer prognosis and most patients die within the first year of diagnosis.
      Most patients are diagnosed in advanced stages of the disease due to non-specific or lack of
      symptomatology and treatment options are then limited to systemic chemotherapy. The
      peritoneum is the most frequent site of metastasis as well as cancer recurrence. Peritoneal
      Carcinomatosis (PC) results in adverse clinical sequelae and is ultimately responsible for
      60% of all gastric cancer-related deaths. While visceral metastases originating from primary
      gastric cancer are relatively chemosensitive, peritoneal carcinomatosis is particularly
      challenging to treat because of inadequate drug delivery from systemic circulation. The
      primary purpose of this trial is to determine the safety of administering intraperitoneal
      docetaxel in conjunction with the standard of care treatment regimen of intravenous mFOLFOX6
      (5-Fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin) in patients with primary gastric cancer with
      gross peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Have histologically-confirmed GC-PC by diagnostic laparoscopy who have not undergone
             chemotherapy for metastatic/recurrent disease.

          -  Be willing and able to provide written informed consent/assent for the trial.

          -  Be ≥ 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.

          -  Not have distant metastases as ruled out by an initial imaging (e.g. CT
             Chest/Abdomen/Pelvis with contrast), positron emission tomography (PET scan). Any
             metastasis in distant organs other than the peritoneum will exclude the patient from
             this study.

          -  Have a performance status of 0 or 1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)
             Performance Scale at study entry.

          -  Demonstrate adequate organ function. All screening labs should be performed within 7
             days prior to protocol therapy.

          -  Female subject of childbearing potential should have a negative urine or serum
             pregnancy within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication. If
             the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test
             will be required.

          -  Female subjects of childbearing potential should be willing to use 2 methods of birth
             control or be surgically sterile, or abstain from heterosexual activity for the course
             of the study through 120 days after the last dose of study medication. Subjects of
             childbearing potential are those who have not been surgically sterilized or have not
             been free from menses for > 1 year.

          -  Male subjects should agree to use an adequate method of contraception starting with
             the first dose of study therapy through 120 days after the last dose of study therapy.

          -  Willingness to undergo intraperitoneal port placement

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Has gastric cancer involving the distal esophagus above the gastroesophageal (GE)
             junction (Siewart type 1, proximally), or second portion of the duodenum (distally).

          -  Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational
             agent or using an investigational device within 4 weeks of the first dose of
             treatment.

          -  Has a tumor positive for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) staining.

          -  Has had prior surgery with dense intra-abdominal adhesions

          -  Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroid therapy or any
             other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of trial
             treatment.

          -  Has had a prior monoclonal antibody within 4 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not
             recovered (i.e., ≤ Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to agents
             administered more than 4 weeks earlier.

          -  Has had prior chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy, or radiation therapy
             within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosureas or mitomycin C) prior to study Day 1 or who
             has not recovered (i.e., ≤ Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to a
             previously administered agent.

          -  Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment.
             Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the
             skin, or in situ cervical cancer that has undergone potentially curative therapy.

          -  Has an active infection requiring antibiotic therapy.

          -  Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality
             that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's
             participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of
             the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.

          -  Has any other medical condition, including mental illness or substance abuse, deemed
             by the Investigator to be likely to interfere with a patient's ability to sign
             informed consent, cooperate and participate in the study, or interfere with the
             interpretation of the results.

          -  Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the
             projected duration of the trial, starting with the pre-screening or screening visit

          -  Patients receiving any medications or substances that are inhibitors or inducers of
             Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP 3A4) are ineligible. Investigator can change to a similar
             agent that is a non-CYP3A4 inhibitor/inducer with a washout period of 1 week.
