Phase 1 Study of Preoperative Gemcitabine Plus CP-870, 893 Followed by Addition of CP-870,893 to Standard -Of-care Adjuvant Chemoradiation for Patients With Newly Diagnosed Resectable Pancreatic Carcinoma

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Adenocarcinoma Pancreas

In brief

This is a pilot study to evaluate the role of the addition of CP870, 893 to the neoadjuvant and adjuvant setting for patients with resectable pancreatic cancer. Patients will receive standard surgery followed by chemoradiation for their disease, but one dose of gem/cp 870,893 will be pre-op and 3 doses post-op.
