Clinical Trial Summary

In this multicenter study, patients with resectable pancreatic carcinoma will be treated with (a) surgery followed by 6 cycles gemcitabine or (b) 4-6 cycles FOLFIRINOX followed by surgery followed by 4-6 cycles FOLFIRINOX.

The overall survival between both therapies will be compared as well as other parameters.


Description:

This is a phase II/III randomized multicenter study. Patients with resectable pancreatic carcinoma will be randomized in Arm A (surgery plus adjuvant gemcitabine, 6 cycles) or Arm B (4-6 cycles FOLFIRINOX neoadjuvant, 4-6 cycles FOLFIRINOX adjuvant).

Primary endpoint is the overall survival, secondary endpoints are progression-free survival, perioperative morbidity and mortality, rate of R0 resections, tolerability and feasibility of neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX and others.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary median overall survival From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause assessed up to 24 months
Secondary median progression-free survival (PFS) From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression / relapse or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months
Secondary perioperative morbidity and mortality 30 days after surgery
Secondary R0 resection rate 2 months after surgery
Secondary pathological complete remission during surgery, paraffin embedded tissue is prepared for analysis which is analyzed for remission grading at the central pathology afterwards at surgery
Secondary adverse events (grade, number per patient) related to of G-CSF prophylaxis in the Folfirinox arm up to 40 weeks
Secondary prevalence of iron deficiency baseline, d1 of every cycle, end of treatment
