NCT00634725

Brief Summary

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. Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known which regimen of chemotherapy with or without erlotinib and/or radiation therapy is most effective in treating pancreatic cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving gemcitabine together with or without capecitabine and/or radiation therapy to see how well it works compared with giving gemcitabine together with or without erlotinib in treating patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall survival

    an interim analysis is planned when 196 deaths will be observed

    from the date of the first randomization to the date of patient death,due to any cause, or to the last date the patient was known to be alive, assessed up to 8 years after the beginning of the study

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Progression-free survival

    time from the date of the first randomization to the date of progressive disease or death, assessed up to 8 years after the beginning of the study.

  • Relationship between biological markers and survival

    From baseline to death, assessed up to 8 years after the beginning of the study

  • tolerance to erlotinib

    from start of treatment until the event has resolved or stabilized or until death
