Study Description

Brief Summary

The prognosis of patients with locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer is poor, and the median survival is less than 1 year. FOLFIRINOX therapy, which induces tumor downstaging sufficient to allow surgical resection, could improve the overall survival of patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Based on the FOLFIRINOX regimen for advanced pancreatic cancer, a phase II study of this regimen in patients with locally advanced unresectable and borderline pancreatic cancer is planned to determine the rate of conversion to operability.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: FOLFIRINOX

Combination of drugs (Irinotecan, Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin, and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)) known as FOLFIRINOX every 2 weeks for 4 treatments. At the end of 4 cycles, patients will be re-evaluated for resectability by CT scan within 28 days of the last dose of chemo. If found amendable to surgery, patient will proceed with resection, and type of resection (R0 or R1) will be recorded.

Drug: Irinotecan, Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin, 5-FU
5-FU 2400 mg/m2 IV continuous infusion for 46-48 hours Days 1-3 for 2 weeks 5-FU 400 mg/m2 IV Bolus Day 1 Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 IV over 120min +/-30 min. Day 1 Irinotecan 180 mg/m2 IV to run over 90 min +/- 30 min Day 1 Leucovorin (Before bolus 5-FU) 400 mg/m2 IV over 120 min. +/- 30 Day 1 May give oxaliplatin and leucovorin concurrently
