简要总结
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving gemcitabine and capecitabine together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well giving gemcitabine and capecitabine together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To determine the feasibility and safety of bevacizumab-based neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy in patients with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
- To determine the proportion of patients with margin-positive resections after pancreatic resection.
Secondary
- To estimate overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
- To assess the time to recurrence in patients treated with this regimen.
- To measure the change in the number of circulating endothelial precursor cells (CEC) and VEGF expression on CEC at baseline and after the start of neoadjuvant therapy and examine their relationship with response, time to recurrence, and survival.
- To assess the utility of dynamic contrast-enhanced spiral CT scan as surrogate endpoints for antiangiogenic therapy.
