Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
PIPAC is a novel therapeutic approach that is minimally invasive, does not require cytoreduction (laparotomy) and can be frequently repeated. PIPAC entails accessing the abdominal cavity using standard laparoscopic techniques with the chemotherapeutics aerosolized via a high-pressure micro-injection pump.

Oxaliplatin (or other standard of care chemotherapy as per Investigator) will be administered at 92 mg/m2 constituted in 150 ml dextrose.
Each patient will undergo three cycles, six weeks apart.
Injection parameters are a flow of 30mL/min and a maximum upstream pressure of 200 psi.
This intervention replaces systemic chemotherapy or palliative chemotherapy.
