Efficacy and Safety of a Neoadjuvant Treatment in Pancreatic Cancer (GEMCAD1003)

May 15, 2018 updated by: Grupo Espanol Multidisciplinario del Cancer Digestivo

Phase II Study Open, Not Randomized to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Neoadjuvant Treatment With Gemcitabine and Erlotinib Followed by Gemcitabine, Erlotinib and Radiotherapy in Patients With Resectable Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

This is a Phase II open study, not randomized with a neoadjuvant therapy,combination of Gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m2/week) with Erlotinib (100mg/day) (3 cycles of 4 weeks), followed by gemcitabine (300 mg/m2/week) combined with Erlotinib (100mg/day) and radiotherapy (45 Gy / day fr180 cGy) (5 cycles of 1 week) in patients with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma to assess the percentage of R0 resections. They have planned a total of 21 visits.
