Summary

This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving oxaliplatin or mitomycin C directly into the abdomen after surgery works in treating patients with tumors of the appendix. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin and mitomycin C, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Heating a chemotherapy solution and infusing it directly into the abdomen may kill more tumor cells. Giving these treatments after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed peritoneal surface malignancies from primary appendiceal tumors
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status = = 1,500/mcL

  • Total bilirubin = = 101.3 degrees Fahrenheit (F) within 3 days of the first scheduled day of protocol treatment
  • Patients who are receiving concurrent investigational therapy or who have received investigational therapy within 30 days of HIPEC (investigational therapy is defined as treatment for which there is currently no regulatory authority approved indication)
  • Patients with carcinoid tumors
  • Patients with active central nervous system (CNS) metastases
  • Patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components of oxaliplatin or mitomycin C
  • History of prior malignancy within the past 5 years, except for curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin, cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia, or localized prostate cancer with a current prostate-specific antigen (PSA) of = grade 2
  • History of allogenic transplant
  • History of prior HIPEC
  • Evidence of metastatic disease outside of the abdomen
