The Safety and Effectiveness of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Combined With Intravenous Chemotherapy for Peritoneal Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer, a Phase II Clinical Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy combined with intravenous chemotherapy in peritoneal metastatic pancreatic cancer. The main question it aims to answer are:

(1) Does this combined approach increase 1-year survival rates? and (2) What is the safety profile of this treatment regimen?

Participants will:

undergo baseline imaging and surgical exploration to confirm peritoneal metastasis, receive two cycles of intraperitoneal cisplatin HIPEC (70mg/m²) postoperatively, followed by systemic AG chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine), with treatment adjustments based on regular imaging assessments and multidisciplinary team (MDT) recommendations.


Eligibility Criteria:

* No contraindications to surgery, with an ECOG performance status of 0-1;
* Confirmed peritoneal metastasis by imaging or intraoperative detection, with rapid intraoperative histopathology indicating metastatic adenocarcinoma;
* No prior anti-tumor therapy before treatment, including systemic chemotherapy, interventional chemotherapy, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), radiotherapy, immunotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, or traditional Chinese medicine anti-tumor treatments;
* No severe hematological, cardiac, pulmonary dysfunction, or autoimmune deficiency (based on respective diagnostic criteria);
* Hematological criteria: White blood cells (WBC) \>=3.0 × 10⁹/L; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>=1.5 × 10⁹/L; Platelets (PLT) \>=100 × 10⁹/L; Hemoglobin (Hgb) \>=90 g/L.

* History of other systemic malignancies within the past five years;
* Use of any non-anti-tumor investigational drugs within 4 weeks prior to treatment;
* Accompanied by massive ascites (extending from pelvic to upper abdominal cavity);
* History of upper gastrointestinal bleeding requiring repeated blood transfusions within the past three months;

* History of hypersensitivity to the study drugs or medications with similar chemical structures;
* Patients requiring long-term warfarin anticoagulation therapy;
* Poor compliance, inability or unwillingness to provide signed informed consent;
* Patients likely to be lost to follow-up for ≥14 days during the treatment period.
