Study of Modified FOLFIRINOX in Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

Summary

The primary objective of this study was to determine the progression free survival in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer and in patients with locally advanced unresectable non-metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with a dose-attenuated modification of folinic acid, fluorouracil, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX). Secondary endpoints included: determine objective response rate according to RECIST; determine overall survival; evaluate toxicity; determine rate of resection in locally advanced unresectable stratum; correlate time to progression, objective response, and overall survival with early changes in glucose metabolism using \[18F\]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) scanning.
