Brief Summary

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

Previous reports suggest benefit of neoadjuvant chemoradiation treatment for borderline resectable pancreas cancer. This study is a multicenter prospective randomized phase II/III study of neoadjuvant chemoradiation with gemcitabine in patients with borderline resectable pancreas cancer. The study is designed in 2 arms, one with upfront surgery and the other with neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy.

Detailed Description

Previous reports suggest benefit of neoadjuvant chemoradiation treatment for borderline resectable pancreas cancer.

This study is a multicenter prospective randomized phase II/III study of neoadjuvant chemoradiation with gemcitabine in patients with borderline resectable pancreas cancer. The study is designed in 2 arms, one with upfront surgery and the other with neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy.

This phase 2/3 multicenter randomized controlled trial was designed to enroll 110 patients with BRPC who were randomly assigned to gemcitabine-based neoadjuvant chemoradiation treatment (54 Gray external beam radiation) followed by surgery or upfront surgery followed by chemoradiation treatment from four large-volume centers in Korea. The primary endpoint was the 2-year survival rate (2-YSR). Interim analysis was planned at the time of 50% case enrollment.
