Study summary

Peritoneal metastasis is the main factor leading to poor prognosis in patients with gastric cancer or colorectal cancer. Although current systemic treatment regimens can prolong the time to peritoneal metastasis, the long-term survival rate is still poor. This is mainly due to the presence of the peritoneal plasma barrier, which limits the penetration of anti-tumor drugs and thus restricts the efficacy. In contrast, the use of intraperitoneal infusion chemotherapy allows anti-tumor drugs to directly reach the abdominal cavity, exposing metastatic nodules to high concentrations of drugs, and has a significant therapeutic effect on peritoneal metastases, resulting in better therapeutic effects Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a small molecule protein secreted by macrophages. There are two types of TNF - α: α and ß. TNF - α is produced by activated monocytes and macrophages, also known as cachectin. TNF - α is produced by activated lymphocytes, also known as lymphotoxins, and the two have similar activity. Previous studies have shown that rmhTNF is safe for intraoperative perfusion in gastrointestinal tumors.

In this real-world study, we will observe the safety and effectiveness of rmhTNF intraperitoneal perfusion in actual clinical settings.

Study population

The initial pathological diagnosis is gastric adenocarcinoma and colorectal adenocarcinoma, with clinical stage progression or advanced stage (cII-IV stage).

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

    1. The initial pathological diagnosis is gastric adenocarcinoma and colorectal adenocarcinoma, with clinical stage progression or advanced stage (cII-IV stage).

      1. Patients with recurrent/ gastric adenocarcinoma and colorectal cancer.
      1. Age range from 18 to 80 years old; 4. Male or non pregnant or lactating female; 5. The bone marrow reserve function is good, and the blood routine meets the following conditions: white blood cell count ≥ 3.5 × 109/L, neutrophils ≥ 1.5 × 109/L, count ≥ 100 × 109/L, ≥ 90 g/L; 6. The organ function is good, and the biochemical examination meets the following conditions: ≤ 2.5 x (ULN), AST ≤ 2.5 x ULN, serum total ≤ 1.5 x ULN, and blood creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN; 7. Functional status: 0-1 (); 8. preoperative ASA grading I-III; 9. form has been signed for clinical treatment.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

    1. Individuals who are allergic to TNF, biological products, or penicillin; 2. Those who do not meet the inclusion criteria during pregnancy or lactation; 3. Other situations where the researcher believes that patients are not suitable to participate in this trial.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 11, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
