NEOadjuvant Gemcitabine/Oxaliplatin Plus Adjuvant Gemcitabine in Resectable PAncreatic Cancer - Full Text View

Purpose

The aim of this study is to test the additional value of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to the standard treatment for resectable pancreatic cancer (surgery + adjuvant chemotherapy).

This study will be performed in compliance with the study protocol, GCP (good clinical practice) and the applicable regulatory requirements.

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy After initial staging laparoscopy, Neoadjuvant chemotherapy consists of four bi-weekly cycles of gemcitabine (intravenous infusion of 1000mg/m2 over 30 minutes) and oxaliplatin (intravenous infusion of 100mg/m2 over 2 hours, modified from the Louvet protocol11).	Drug: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy four bi-weekly cycles of gemcitabine (intravenous infusion of 1000mg/m2 over 30 minutes) and oxaliplatin (intravenous infusion of 100mg/m2 over 2 hours,
Active Comparator: surgery surgery	Procedure: surgery and Adjuvant chemotherapy surgery and Adjuvant chemotherapy must be started within eight weeks after surgery and is based on the standard regimen using six cycles of gemcitabine (Gem 1000mg/m2 over 30 minutes) on days 1, 8, 15 every 4 weeks.
