PIPAC with Nal-IRI: Nanoliposomal irinotecan (Nal-IRI, Onivyde) will be administered intraperitoneally using the PIPAC technique. The administered dose will escalate ranging from 30 to 90 mg/m². PIPAC will be performed every 4 to 6 weeks for 3 cycles.
Study summary
The PIPAC NAL-IRI study is designed to examine the maximal tolerated dose of nanoliposomal irinotecan (Nal-IRI, Onivyde) administered with repeated pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC), in a monocentric, phase I trial.
