Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  cisplatin 75mg/m2 intraperitoneally (IP)  Intraoperative NIPEC protocol (ONLY Arm A) will consist of cisplatin 75mg/m2 intraperitoneally (IP), which will be instilled with the help of intraabdominal drains placed inside the abdomen. Drains will be unclamped after 24 hours for any unabsorbed fluid to be removed. Due to increased chances of hypokalaemia and hypomagnesaemia, preloading with potassium chloride and magnesium sulphate will be done. Adequate fluid hydration will be maintained. Antiemetics will be given for control of emesis associated with cisplatin. Vitals monitoring every 4-6 hours will be done. Correction of dyselectrolytemia will be done. Monitoring of adverse effects will be done and recorded as per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5. The total duration of intervention will be 24 hours  
Comparator Agent  Neoadjuvant chemotherapy ONLY and Surgery Interval Cytoreductive  Patients in the control group will ONLY receive the standard care, which consists of surgery (ICS) with Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT).

Brief Summary  

Advanced epithelial ovarian cancer has a poor prognosis. Surgery after a few courses of chemotherapy or primary surgery followed by chemotherapy is the standard of care for these patients. However, despite good response after surgery and chemotherapy disease returns in most patients within 1-2 years. This signifies the inherent unfavourable nature of the advanced disease. Various studies were done with the aim of improving the survival of such patients. One of the approach is to directly instill chemotherapy into the abdomen during surgery which is called intraperitoneal chemotherapy.  In addition, early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy also known as EPIC has certain conceptual benefits, as it is applied shortly after cytoreductive surgery when the tumour burden is minimal, uneven drug distribution is reduced as the adhesions are not formed and there prevention of entrapment of residual cancer cells in postoperative fibrin deposits. Traditionally EPIC is administered in the postoperative period, usually between days 1 to 5, through both an inflow and outflow drains inserted during surgery. We will be giving chemotherapy inside the abdomen immediately after completion of surgery and will be kept for 24 hours. After 24 hours excess fluid will be removed by the intraabdominal drains.

 Methodology (procedure):

Patients with advanced Ca Ovary stage IIIC will be included in the study. Informed consent will be taken from every patient. After adequate surgery cisplatin chemotherapy will be instilled intraperitoneal chemotherapy with the help of intraabdominal drains placed inside the abdomen. Drains will be unclamped later for any unabsorbed fluid to be removed. Preloading with potassium chloride and magnesium sulphate will be given to avoid side effects. Adequate fluid hydration will be maintained. Antiemetics( to prevent vomiting)  will be provided for control of emesis associated with cisplatin. Monitoring and correction of dyselectrolytemia will be done. Monitoring of adverse effects will be done and recorded as per existing guidelines.
