简要总结
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug with radiation therapy and/or surgery may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy, consisting of gemcitabine and cisplatin, followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy and/or surgery in treating patients who have pancreatic cancer.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the response rate of patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer after induction therapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin.
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy combined with radiation therapy in these patients.
- Determine the overall response rates in these patients after this combined modality regimen following induction chemotherapy.
- Determine the resectability rate for locally advanced pancreatic lesions treated with this regimen.
- Determine the time to failure for the entire treatment program.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Following gemcitabine, patients receive cisplatin IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15. Course is repeated every 4 weeks. After 2 courses of induction chemotherapy, disease is restaged.
Patients may then receive radiotherapy in addition to chemotherapy. Radiotherapy is given daily for 5 weeks and 3 days. During radiotherapy, cohorts of 3 patients are treated with escalating doses of gemcitabine and cisplatin administered as described above in induction chemotherapy. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the lowest dose at which no more than 2 of 6 or 2 of 3 patients experience dose limiting toxicity. When the MTD has been determined, additional patients accrued into the study receive the dose level immediately below the MTD.
