What this phase means
Phase 1: the first tests in people. The main question is safety and dose, not whether it cures the condition. Groups are small. Side effects are watched closely.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Sodium Thiosulfate, 5-Fluorouracil, or Oxaliplatin. The registry lists allocation as randomized. Background: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) removes tumors in the abdomen.
They plan to enroll about 60 people at Bethesda. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill), a procedure as part of the study plus check-ins.

Individualized Response Assessment to Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) for the Treatment of Peritoneal Carcinomatosis From Peritoneal Mesothelioma or Atypical Mesothelial Proliferation or From Ovarian, Colorectal, or Appendiceal Primaries
Interventions: Sodium Thiosulfate, 5-Fluorouracil, Oxaliplatin, Doxorubicin, Hyperthermic Intraperitonial Chemotherapy, Cisplatin, Mitomycin C
Primary outcome (registry wording): To determine the correlation between ex vivo simulated HIPEC in the SMART System or 3-D cell culture (organoid) models, and in vivo HIPEC with respect to two measures of response to treatment: percent necrosis and Ki-67
