Background/Objectives: OrganoHIPEC is a phase-II, two-stage, open-label clinical trial that investigates if cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and patient-tailored HIPEC, based on a preclinical platform using patient-derived organoids, can improve disease control in peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC-PM). Methods: Adults with limited CRC-PM and no distant metastases were included. CRC-PM were sampled for organoid development during diagnostic laparoscopy. These organoids were used in an in vitro HIPEC model to test various drugs suitable for intraperitoneal administration. After 3–6 months of systemic chemotherapy, patients without progression underwent CRS/HIPEC with personalized regimens based on organoid drug response. To detect an increase in 12-month peritoneal disease-free survival from 40% to 60%, 24 patients are needed. According to the two-stage design, if 12 months. Peritoneal relapse occurred at 8 months in two patients, and one died of liver metastases at 7 months. Seven patients remained PM-free for >12 months (median 16.4, range 12.6–28.4). Conclusions: A comprehensive precision approach using patient-derived organoids to guide personalized HIPEC is feasible and shows promising early results. High-dose oxaliplatin is poorly active. As 7/10 patients achieved the endpoint of 12-month PM-free survival, Stage-1 was successfully completed. The trial is proceeding to Stage-2.
