Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is a Phase II open study, not randomized with a neoadjuvant therapy,combination of Gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m2/week) with Erlotinib (100mg/day) (3 cycles of 4 weeks), followed by gemcitabine (300 mg/m2/week) combined with Erlotinib (100mg/day) and radiotherapy (45 Gy / day fr180 cGy) (5 cycles of 1 week) in patients with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma to assess the percentage of R0 resections. They have planned a total of 21 visits.

  • Age between 18-75 years
  • Subject has not undergone any chemotherapy or radiotherapy previously
  • Functional status o-1 (ECOG scale)
  • Satisfy all radiological inclusion criteria (MSCT performed 28 days before the treatment starts and a centralized evaluation)
  • Patients with a cytologically confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma(preferably by EUS)
  • Appropriate analytical as inclusion criteria (7 days before the treatment starts):
  • bone marrow status: neutrophils ≥ 1,500x10^9/L; platelets ≥ 100x10^9/L; hemoglobin ≥ 9g/dL.
  • INR ≤ 1.5 and PTT ≤ 1.5 x upper range of normal.
  • Bilirubin ≤ 5 mg/dL
  • Albumin> 34 g/L
  • Renal function: creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL and creatinine clearance> 50ml/min

Exclusion Criteria

  • patients treated with any of the study's drugs
  • patients who has develop other primary tumors in 5 years prior to the inclusion at the clinical trial, except for cervix carcinoma in situ or basal cell skin cancer which have been treated properly.
