Brief summary

The investigators preliminary data suggests that FOLFOX-A may have equal or superior activity as compared to FOLFIRINOX and appears to be better tolerated. Therefore, FOLFOX-A may be a better regimen in the adjuvant setting for patients with resected pancreatic cancer. This protocol will obtain preliminary data on safety and disease-free and overall survival following administration of FOLFOX-A for patients with resected pancreatic cancer.

Interventions

Abraxane: 150mg/m2 IV over 30 minutes, day 1 (administered first) every 14 days. Oxaliplatin: 85mg/m2, IV over 2 hours, day 1 every 14 days Leucovorin: 400mg/m2, IV over 2 hours, day 1 every 14 days 5-FU infusion:1200mg/m2/day, as a continuous IV infusion over 2 days, day 1 and day 2 (for a total dose of 2400mg/m2 over 46 hours.)

Inclusion criteria

* Histologic proof of primary pancreas invasive adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous cancer, managed with a potentially curative resection (i.e., removal of all gross tumor). Patients with invasive adenocarcinoma that also contains a component of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) are eligible. * Interval between definitive tumor-related surgery and registration between 21-70 days. * Patients will be staged according to the 6th edition AJCC staging system with pathologic stage T1-3, N0-1, M-0 being eligible. * Post resection serum CA19-9 ≤ 180 units/mL within 21 days of registration on study. * Preexisting neuropathy \< grade 1 (per CTCAE). * ECOG performance status 0 or 1. * Age ≥ 18 * Not pregnant and not nursing. Women of child bearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG) within 7 days prior to beginning of treatment. Post-menopausal women (surgical menopause of lack of menses \>12 months) do not need to have a pregnancy test, please document status. * Women of childbearing potential and sexually active males must use an effective contraception method during treatment and for three months after completing treatment. * Required Initial Laboratory Values: * Neutrophils ≥ 1,500/mm3 * Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3 * Creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL -or- creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN * AST (SGOT) & ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN * Alkaline phosphatases \< 2.5x ULN * Abdominal CT scan with contrast and chest CT/x-ray (CT of chest preferred) within 6 weeks of registration on study. Patients can have PET/MRI of the chest/abdomen instead.

Exclusion criteria

* Patients with serious medical risk factors involving any of the major organ systems such that the investigator considers it unsafe for the patient to receive FOLFOX-A * Prior hypersensitivity to Oxaliplatin or Abraxane that in the investigators opinion would put the patient at risk if re-exposed * Patients with islet cell (neuroendocrine) tumors, cystadenomas, cystadenocarcinomas, carcinoid tumors, duodenal carcinomas, distal bile duct, and ampullary carcinomas. * Prior systemic chemotherapy for pancreas cancer; note that prior chemotherapy for a different cancer is allowable. Patients must not have received chemotherapy for a year prior to registering on study * No prior invasive malignancy within the prior two years. However, patients with an early stage malignancy that is not expected to require treatment in the next 2 years (such as early stage, resected breast cancer or asymptomatic prostate cancer) are eligible. This must be documented.
