Popis: Background The ImmunoPeCa trial investigated the use of intraperitoneal MOC31PE immunotoxin as a novel therapeutic principle for the treatment of peritoneal metastasis from colorectal cancer (PM-CRC). We here report long-term outcome from the trial. Methods This was a dose-finding trial aiming to evaluate safety and toxicity (primary endpoint) upon a single dose of intraperitoneal MOC31PE in patients with PM-CRC undergoing CRS-HIPEC with mitomycin C. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were secondary endpoints. Twenty-one patients received the study drug at four dose levels on the first postoperative day, including six patients constituting an expansion cohort. Results With a 34-month follow-up, the median OS was not reached and the estimated 3-year OS was 78%. Median DFS for all patients was 21 months and the 3-year DFS was 33%, with a median follow-up of 31 months. When excluding patients with potential favorable characteristics from the analysis (n = 4), the median DFS was 13 months and the 3-year OS 72%. Conclusions The promising long-term outcome combined with low systemic absorbance, high drug concentration and cytotoxic activity in peritoneal fluid support further investigations of clinical efficacy.
