Individual Response to Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) Treatment of Peritoneal Carcinomatosis From Peritoneal Mesothelioma or Atypical Mesothelial Proliferation or From Ovarian, Colorectal, or Appendiceal Histologies

Background: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) removes tumors in the abdomen. HIPEC is hyperthermic (heated) chemotherapy that washes the inside of the abdomen. CRS with HIPEC may help people with peritoneal carcinomatosis. These are tumors that have spread to the lining of the abdomen from other cancers. Researchers think they can improve the results of CRS with HIPEC treatment on these tumors by choosing the chemotherapy drugs used in HIPEC. Objective: To see if HIPEC after CRS can be improved, using either a model called the SMART (Sustained Microenvironment for Analysis of Resected Tissue) System or using 3-D cell culture (organoid) models, in order to test different chemotherapy drugs on tumors that were surgically removed prior to HIPEC treatment (these models are not attached to the body) versus tumors that were treated with HIPEC while still inside the body before being immediately surgically removed. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have peritoneal carcinomatosis that cannot be fully removed safely with surgery. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Electrocardiogram (EKG) Computed tomography (CT) scan Other imaging scans, as needed Tumor biopsy, if needed Laparoscopy (small cuts are made in the abdomen, and a tube with a light and a camera is used to see the organs in the abdomen), if needed Participants will enroll in NIH protocol #13C0176. This allows their tumor samples to be used in future research. Some screening tests may be repeated in the study. Participants will have CRS. As many of their visible tumors will be removed as possible during surgery except for a few specific tumors left to receive the HIPEC treatment. Then they will receive HIPEC and the remaining tumors will be immediately removed. Participants will be in the hospital for 7-21 days after this surgery (CRS with HIPEC). Participants will give tumor, fluid samples (from the abdomen during surgery), blood, saliva, cheek swab, and stool for research. They will complete surveys about their health and quality of life. Participants with peritoneal mesothelioma (mesothelioma primary only) will have genetic (DNA) testing to determine clinical (CLIA level) germline BAP1 status for research use. Participants will have follow-up visits for up to 5 years from CRS with HIPEC. If there is disease progression, participants may have CRS with HIPEC again. Participants will then have follow-up visits for up to 5 years from the date of last CRS with HIPEC. ...

PTC-Guided Therapy for Peritoneal Mesothelioma

Official Title: A Study of Key Parameters and Mechanisms in Personalized Diagnosis and Treatment Using Tumor Models Why is this study being done? This research study is for adults with a type of cancer called Malignant Peritoneal Mesothelioma (MPM). Currently, it is hard for doctors to know which treatment will work best for each patient after surgery. This study will test a new, personalized way to choose treatments using a model grown from a patient's own tumor in the lab, called a Patient-derived tumor-like cell cluster (PTC) model. The main goal is to see if using this PTC model to guide treatment can help patients live longer without their cancer getting worse, compared to a standard chemotherapy treatment. Who can participate? Adults aged 18 and older with a specific type of MPM (epithelioid or biphasic) who are planned to have surgery and heated chemotherapy (CRS+HIPEC) and can provide a tumor sample for the PTC model may be eligible. What will happen in the study? * Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups by chance, like flipping a coin. * Standard Treatment Group: This group will receive the standard chemotherapy combination of Gemcitabine, Oxaliplatin, and Apatinib. * Personalized Treatment Group: This group will have a PTC model made from their tumor. The model will be tested with different drugs (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy) in the lab. The treatment that works best on the model will be chosen for the patient. * Both groups will receive their assigned treatment for 6 cycles. * Participants will be followed for several years to see how they are doing, through clinic visits and scans. What are the possible benefits? Participants in the personalized treatment group might receive a therapy that is more effective for their specific cancer. The information from this study may help doctors better treat future patients with MPM. What are the possible risks? The risks include side effects from cancer treatments, which can include low blood cell counts, nausea, vomiting, high blood pressure, liver problems, and tiredness. There is also a risk that the PTC model may not grow successfully in the lab, or that the drug that works in the model may not work as well in the body. The study team will closely monitor all participants for any side effects and manage them promptly. Who is paying for the study? This study is funded by the National Key R\&D Program of China. Where is the study taking place? The study is conducted at multiple hospitals in China, including Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, Beijing Shijitan Hospital, and Cangzhou Central Hospital.

IMMUNORARE5: A National Platform of 5 Academic Phase II Trials Coordinated by Lyon University Hospital to Assess the Safety and the Efficacy of the IMMUNOtherapy With Domvanalimab + Zimberelimab Combination in Patients With Advanced RARE Cancers

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized the management of advanced cancers. However, most rare cancers have been excluded from this progress due to the lack of clinical trials involving these diseases. After the standard first-line treatment, there are no other validated treatments for most of them. The management of these patients in ≥ 2nd line treatment relies on historic poorly effective regimens. This creates an inequity between patients with frequent cancers beneficiating from medical progresses and approvals of innovative drugs, and patients with rare cancers are still treated with old and toxic drugs. Few available data on case reports and early phase studies indicate a beneficial role of the immunotherapy in rare cancers. The investigators assume that the combination of Domvanalimab and Zimberelimab is more effective than historical standard treatments in patients with 5 types of advanced rare cancers, after failure of at least one line of standard treatment in the advanced setting: * Cohort 1: Peritoneal Mesotheliomas (PM) * Cohort 2: Gestational Trophoblastic Tumors (GTT) * Cohort 3: B3 Thymomas and Thymic Carcinomas (TET) * Cohort 4: Refractory Thyroid Carcinomas (ATC) * Cohort 5: GEP-NET and carcinoid tumors (GEP-NET (Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors)/TCT (Thoracic carcinoid tumor)/UP-NET (Neuroendocrine tumor of unknown primary)) The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of the combination of Domvanalimab and Zimberelimab in terms of progression-free survival rate at 24 weeks (for cohorts 1,3,5), successful hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) normalisation rate at 24 weeks for cohort 2 and survival rate for cohort 4. The secondary objectives are to assess the efficacy of the combination of anti-TIGIT (T cell Immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains) and anti-PD-1 (Programmed Death-1) immunotherapies in terms of overall response rate, progression-free survival (cohort 1-3 and 5), resistance-free survival (cohort 2), overall survival (cohorts 1-3 and 5), duration of the response (cohorts 1-3 and 5); and to assess the tolerability of the doublet of immunotherapy in terms of adverse events. Patients will be treated until disease progression or alternatively 2 years in case of complete response (upon discussion with the coordinator of the study, the coordinator of the cohort and the investigator), unacceptable toxicity, or death. At the end of treatment, patients will be followed up for at least 1 year. IMMUNORARE5 is composed of five independent open-label national multicenter single-arm phase II trials, sponsored by Lyon University Hospital, led in collaboration with the corresponding French national reference centers, with a centralized coordination by a dedicated team. Each phase II trial is designed as a two-stage Simon design, with early termination for futility. For each cohort, a null hypothesis (H0) and an alternative hypotheses (H1) regarding the percentages of patients with success has been defined, with 5% one-sided alpha level and 80% power. The trial will be conducted in 15 French Centers with an inclusion period of 36 months
