π "Do I Qualify?" β 1-Minute Self Screener
Instant ChecklistCheck every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).
Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:
- Exclusion Criteria
- Metastases outside the peritoneal cavity, with exception of limited metastases to the thoracic cavity and/or limited retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy
- Previous surgery that would preclude safe diagnostic laparoscopy with port placement
- Current presence of significant radiographic or clinical/radiographic manifestations of gastrointestinal obstruction. History of perforation of the gastrointestinal tract and/or fistula, history of gastrointestinal obstruction (including incomplete intestinal obstruction requiring parenteral nutrition), extensive bowel resection (partial colectomy or extensive small bowel resection) within 6 months prior to enrollment
- Recent history (within the last 30 days) of large volume ascites requiring repeated paracenteses. Large-volume ascites that has resolved with prior systemic therapies is not considered Exclusionary.
- Unresolved clinically significant toxicity of greater than or equal to NCI CTCAE v. 6.0 grade 2 attributed to any prior therapies (excluding anemia, lymphopenia, alopecia, skin pigmentation).
- Other prior malignancy unless the participant has undergone curative therapy with no evidence of disease recurrence within 3 years prior to enrollment. The following malignancies will be allowed without the 3-year interval after adequate treatment: basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of skin, superficial bladder cancer, in situ cervical cancer, other in situ cancers, prostate cancer with a Gleason score β€6 that does not need therapy or other local tumors that are considered cured
- Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational, non-interventional clinical study or a follow-up period for an interventional study.
- Palliative local therapy for non-target lesions and non-specific immunomodulatory therapy (such as interleukin, interferon, thymus peptide, tumor necrosis factor, etc.) within 2 weeks before the first dose.
- Any prior clinically significant or active autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy (e.g., with disease- modifying drugs, prednisone \>10 mg daily or equivalent, immunosuppressant therapy or immunomodulatory agents \[e.g., infliximab or IVIG\]) within 2 years prior to enrollment; however, replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is permitted.
- History of major diseases before enrollment, specifically:
- Unstable angina, myocardial infarction, CHF (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] classification β₯Grade 2) or unstable vascular disease (e.g., aortic aneurysm at risk of rupture, Moyamoya disease) that required hospitalization within 12 months prior to enrollment, or other cardiac impairment that may affect the safety evaluation of the study drug (e.g., poorly controlled arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia)
