Perioperative Versus Adjuvant FOLFIRINOX for Resectable Pancreatic Cancer: the PREOPANC-3 Study
Erasmus Medical Center
378 participants
Sep 7, 2021
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The PREOPANC-3 study is a randomized, multicenter, phase 3 trial. Patients with resectable pancreatic cancer will be randomly assigned (1:1) to 8 cycles of neoadjuvant mFOLFIRINOX followed by surgery and 4 cycles of adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX (arm 1) or to upfront surgery followed by 12 cycles of adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX (arm 2). The primary objective of the trial is to determine whether perioperative mFOLFIRINOX improves overall survival compared with adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer.
