简要总结
Multi-agent chemotherapy has value for patients with advanced pancreatic-biliary cancers leading to responses in a substantial minority and increasing survival. The use of the FOLFIRINOX regimen is limited by its' intensity and toxicity. Previous protocol and clinical experience within the University of Michigan Pancreatic Program leads to an expectation of tolerance and efficacy of the proposed regimen. Advantages of the proposed regimen relative to FOLFIRINOX include:
- Substitution of gemcitabine for irinotecan. Single agent activity of gemcitabine is at least as good as irinotecan (probably better, especially when delivered by FDR [fixed-dose rate] infusion) and gemcitabine is much better tolerated with less diarrhea, nausea/emesis, myelosuppression and alopecia.
- Deletion of leucovorin infusion and 5FU bolus injection will lessen myelosuppression, mucositis and diarrhea.
- Substitution of cisplatin for oxaliplatin will reduce cost of therapy and avoid cold aggravated dysesthesia.
Presuming evidence of efficacy and confirmation of tolerance with the proposed regimen, the investigators believe this treatment may be more widely applicable to pancreatic-biliary cancer patients, including those with advanced disease as well as being considered for use in locally advanced and neo- and adjuvant settings.
详细描述
Gemcitabine combined with 5FU may enhance the activity of 5-FU in vivo. Gemcitabine is an inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase, an enzyme needed for synthesis of deoxynucleotides, and 5-FU interferes with dTTP synthesis by inhibition of thymidylate synthase (TS). It is likely that concomitant administration of gemcitabine and 5FU results in increased cytotoxicity by reducing intracellular dTTP thru two different mechanisms, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and repair. Platinum compounds lead to cell death by forming DNA adducts and causing double strand breaks. By inhibiting DNA synthesis and repair, both gemcitabine and 5-FU potentiate the activity of cisplatin. These interactions underlie the clinical synergism that has been observed with platinum/5FU and platinum/gemcitabine combinations.

结局指标
主要结局
The Percentage of Untreated and Previously Treated Patients That Had a Partial Response to Treatment
时间窗: 28 days
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to estimate the response rate to treatment with the triplet chemotherapy regimen of gemcitabine, infusional 5-FU, and cisplatin, in untreated and previously treated advanced pancreatic and biliary cancer patients. Partial Response (PR) is defined as At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
次要结局
- Median Overall Survival of Previously Treated and Previously Untreated Patients(1 year)
