Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This phase II single arm, open-label study investigate the safety of a second cycle of catumaxomab in patients with malignant ascites due to carcinoma, requiring their first therapeutic puncture after treatment in the CASIMAS study.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Up to 30 evaluable patients from the CASIMAS study will be enrolled. Catumaxomab will be infused intraperitoneally with 3hour constant-rate infusions 4 times within 11 days with ascending dosages (10 - 20 - 50 - 150 µg).
