Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients who have locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the overall survival of patients with locally advanced non-metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with gemcitabine, fluorouracil, and radiotherapy.
* Determine the time to progression in patients treated with this regimen.
* Determine the overall clinical response in patients treated with this regimen.
* Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes once weekly and fluorouracil IV continuously on days 1-5 weekly for 6 weeks. Patients concurrently undergo radiotherapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks.

Three weeks after the completion of chemoradiotherapy, patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes once weekly on weeks 1-3. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for a total of 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 2 months for 1 year and then every 3 months for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 78 patients will be accrued for this study within 24 months.
