Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Protocol digest of randomized phase II study of modified FOLFIRINOX versus gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel combination therapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer: Japan clinical oncology group study (JCOG1407).
Gemcitabine is one of the standard treatments for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Recent studies on metastatic pancreatic cancer have shown that combination chemotherapy with oxaliplatin, irinotecan, fluorouracil, and leucovorin (FOLFIRINOX) and gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP) prolonged the overall survival compared with gemcitabine alone. ⋯ The primary endpoint is the proportion of 1-year overall survival, and secondary endpoints are progression-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival, response rate in patients with target lesions, CA19-9 response, adverse events, treatment-related death, early death, grade 4 non-hematological toxicity, and dose intensity. This trial has been registered with the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry [http://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/index.htm], and the registration number is UMIN000023143.
