Ampullary Adenocarcinoma
Conditions
Brief summary
Ampullary adenocarcinoma (AMPAC) is a rare cancer (0.2% of digestive cancers) affecting the ampulla of Vater. The only curative treatment is surgery, but around 4% of patients recur within 2 years of surgical resection. The aim of adjuvant chemotherapy is to reduce the risk of disease recurrence, and the only chemotherapies that can be considered standard to date are capecitabine and gemcitabine. In this trial, an alternative experimental treatment strategy using modified FOLFORINOX (mFOLFORINOX) is proposed. It consists of 3 chemotherapies with complementary actions: 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan and oxaliplatin, combined with folic acid a vitamin that enhances the efficacy of 5-fluorouracil. This study proposes 2 treatment schemes: * Group A: mFOLFIRINOX: oxaliplatin, irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil, with folinic acid, * group B: mono-chemotherapy with capecitabine or gemcitabine.
Interventions
DRUGmFOLFORINOX
mFOLFIRINOX every 2 weeks during 12 cycles (24 weeks): * Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m² * Irinotecan 150 mg/m² * Leucovorin 400 mg/m² * Fluorouracil 2400 mg/m² during 46 hours
DRUGCapecitabine or gemcitabine
investigator's choice: * Capecitabine 1250 mg/m² BID, 2 weeks on, 1 week off during 8 cycles (24 weeks) OR * Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² in 30 min; 3 weeks on, 1 week of, during 6 cycles ((24 weeks)
