Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Arm A: Gemcitabine

Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² IV infusion over 30 minutes on D1 of each week for the 4 weeks of the first cycle (1 cycle = 4 weeks). For the following five cycles, gemcitabine infusion on D1, D8, and D15 of each cycle, followed by 1 week without injection (i.e. in total 4 cycles over 24 weeks; with 19 administrations of Gemcitabine).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Gemcitabine

Intervention Type DRUG

Arm B: Folfirinox

Administered once every 14 days for 24 weeks (12 cycles). A cycle equals 14 days with injection on D1 of each cycle. Treatment starts with oxaliplatin (85 mg/m²) administration; IV infusion over 2 hours, followed by the simultaneous administration (using a Y-tubing) of folinic acid 400 mg/m² (racemic) (or 200 mg/m² if L-folinic acid) IV infusion over 2 hours and irinotecan 180 mg/m² IV infusion over 90 minutes. The irinotecan will begin 30 minutes after the start of the folinic acid infusion.

5-Fluoro-uracil (5-FU) IV 2,400 mg/m²/h will be administered over 46 hours after the end of the folinic acid infusion, i.e. 1200 mg/m²/day for the duration of 2 days.

Treatment will be continued for 24 weeks (12 cycles).
