Detailed Description

A multicenter Open-label, single-arm, phase I/II clinical trial is conducted on patients with histological stage IV Pancreatic cancer given gemcitabine plus S-1. The usefulness of this regimens as 1st line therapy for pancreatic cancer was evaluated by the disease-free survival(DFS), median survival time (MST), incidence and severity of adverse event.
