Study Summary

This study is for subjects with adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of modified Folfirinox and radiation therapy as treatment for adenocarcinoma (cancer) of the pancreas before surgery. Screening tests will be done to determine if subjects are eligible for participation in this study. If subjects are eligible to participate and agree to participate they will begin chemotherapy. After 3 cycles of chemotherapy, subjects will begin chemoradiation. Within 4 to 8 weeks of completing radiation therapy, subjects will have surgery. There will also be post-treatment and follow-up evaluations. Subjects will be followed for every 3 months for 3 years after their initial registration.

Primary Outcome

Estimate the R0/R1 resection rate as the proportion of patients with R0 or R1 resection status based on the ITT population. R0 resection status is macroscopic complete removal of tumor by non-contaminated operation, with neither macroscopic nor microscopic residual tumor. R1 resection status is macroscopic complete removal of tumor by non-contaminated operation, with microscopic residual tumor.

Interventions

  • PROCEDURE Surgical Resection
  • RADIATION Chemoradiation
