Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Nimotuzumab combined with GX for postoperative adjuvant treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Description:

This clinical study is designed as a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Nimotuzumab combined with GX (gemcitabine plus capecitabine) compared with GX only for resected pancreatic cancer. About 146 patients will be enrolled in this study and randomly divided into experimental group (nimotuzumab plus GX) and control group (placebo plus GX) at a ratio of 1:1. The main endpoint is relapse-free survival (RFS). Additional end points included distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), overall survival (OS), tumor-related markers and safety.
