Study end points.

Primary end point
  - Adverse events defined by NCI CTCAE version 5.0
Secondary end points
  - Efficacy, measured by RECIST 1.1, Peritoneal Regression Grading Score and Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Index
  - Post-operative surgical complications, measured by Clavien-Dindo classification 4 weeks after each PIPAC
  - Overall survival, measured by time from initiation of treatment to death
  - Progression-free survival, measured by time from initiation of treatment to progression
  - Patient-reported health status/quality of life and symptoms before treatment and at 6-week intervals until the patient comes off study, as measured by the EQ-5D-5L and MDASI
  - Functional status, as measured by the number of daily steps before and after treatments (wristband pedometer)
Exploratory end point
  - Nab-paclitaxel concentrations in plasma and tissues
