About this trial
This study is a prospective, multi-cohort Phase Ib/II clinical trial, consisting of two stages as follows:
1. Phase Ib Dose-Escalation Stage To explore the dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) of intraperitoneally administered liposomal irinotecan in patients with malignant peritoneal effusion who have failed prior standard therapy, and to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the investigational agent. 2. Phase II Expansion Stage To evaluate the efficacy and safety of liposomal irinotecan as monotherapy or in combination with recombinant modified human tumor necrosis factor or bevacizumab, in the treatment of malignant peritoneal effusion in patients who have failed prior standard therapy.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Aged ≥18 years old, gender unrestricted.
Histologically or cytologically confirmed malignant peritoneal effusion derived from digestive system tumors (malignancy confirmed by ascites cytology, or peritoneal metastases diagnosed clinically based on imaging findings and symptoms).
Moderate to large volume of peritoneal effusion, with failure of initial treatment or previous intraperitoneal therapy with conventional chemotherapeutic agents and/or biological response modifiers. Moderate volume of ascites is defined as: ①Ascites depth ≥3 cm confirmed by supine abdominal ultrasound; ② Presence of clinical symptoms (chest distress, dyspnea, abdominal distension and discomfort) judged by the investigator to be related to peritoneal effusion.
ECOG performance status score 0-2.
Disqualifiers
History of hypersensitivity to tumor necrosis factor (TNF), its derivative drugs, bevacizumab or its analogs, irinotecan, or liposomal irinotecan.
Diagnosis of malignant diseases other than gastrointestinal tumors within 5 years prior to the first dose (excluding radically treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, and/or radically resected carcinoma in situ).
Receipt of any other investigational drug treatment or participation in an interventional clinical trial within 7 days prior to the first dose; or receipt of anti-tumor therapy (including Chinese herbal medicines with anti-tumor indications) within 7 days prior to the first dose of the study drug.
Pregnant or lactating women; women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to take contraceptive measures during the study period; or men who are unwilling to use effective contraceptive measures during treatment and for 1 year thereafter.
