Detailed Description

This clinical study is designed as a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Nimotuzumab combined with GX (gemcitabine plus capecitabine) compared with GX only for resected pancreatic cancer. About 146 patients will be enrolled in this study and randomly divided into experimental group (nimotuzumab plus GX) and control group (placebo plus GX) at a ratio of 1:1. The main endpoint is relapse-free survival (RFS). Additional end points included distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), overall survival (OS), tumor-related markers and safety.

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
relapse-free survival (RFS)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
