Brief Summary

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

This study aims to evaluate whether the combination of gemcitabine and paclitaxel allows to improve the overall survival compared to gemcitabine alone, in patients with metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) after FOLFIRINOX failure or intolerance.
