Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1. Time to progression following FOLFOX-A treatment is assessed through CT scans at baseline, prior to radiotherapy and prior to surgery. Further scans will be performed as per standard of care to progression.<br>2. Efficacy of proposed biomarkers in predicting disease progression rates in FOLFOX-A arm. Tissue samples will be collected from the patients at baseline (under the Precision Panc Master Protocol), prior to radiotherapy and at surgery/progression.
