RECRUITINGProportion of Participants who have completed at least (≥) 80% of planned metformin doses by 6 months
Examine the feasibility of metformin therapy in patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) secondary to appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs)
Time frame: 6 months
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Examine efficacy of metformin therapy in patients with PMP secondary to AMNs as assessed by progression free survival (PFS). Progression free survival will be defined by relative best tumor size change from baseline ranging from -100% to 100%, with radiographic findings assessed via modified peritoneal RECIST criteria at 6/12/18 months.
Time frame: 6, 12 and 18 months
