Brief summary

Determine the relapse-free survival of resected pancreatic cancer patients following two novel regimens with activity in advanced disease.

Detailed description

This trial is a randomized Phase II study of FOLFIRINOX versus gemcitabine/abraxane in patients with completely resected pancreatic cancer (Stages I-III). Patients will receive eight weeks of chemotherapy, then 5-FU/radiation, then another 8 weeks.

Interventions

DRUGAbraxane

125 mg/m2 IV over 30 minutes, day 1, 8, 15

DRUGGemcitabine

1000mg/m2 IV over 30 to 100 minutes, day 1, 8, 15

DRUGFOLFIRINOX

Irinotecan 180 mg/m2 Day 1 Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 Day 1 5-FU 400 mg/m2 bolus with Leucovorin 200 mg/m2 over 2h, Day 1, then 5-FU 2400 mg/m2 over 46h. Four cycles, if tolerated
