Study Summary

Brief Summary: The study is a prospective, randomized controlled phase III trial aimed to test the efficacy and safety of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel, for front line treatment of locally-advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.The device is an experimental, portable, battery operated device for chronic administration of alternating electric fields (termed TTFields or TTF) to the region of the malignant tumor, by means of surface, insulated electrode arrays.

Primary Outcome

Overall survival of subjects treated with TTFields concomitant with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in the first line treatment of unresectable, locally advanced pancreatic cancer subjects, compared to overall survival of subjects treated with chemotherapy alone, measured as the period between the time of randomization and the time of death.
