- Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas
- Measurable disease following RECIST criteria version 1.1
- No previous systemic treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer Adjuvant chemotherapy al least 6 months before enrollment is allowed. Patients having neoadjuvant chemotherapy must have completed the treatment at least 4 weeks before trial entry. Toxicities associated to previous treatment must be resolved before enrollment. Progression disease (metastatic disease) must be confirmed after adjuvant treatment

- Serum bilirubin ≤ 1,5 x LSN
- AST, ALT ≤ 2,5 x LSN in patients without liver metastasis. In patients with liver metastasis ≤ 5 x LSN
- +5 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Local pancreatic cancer (stage IA-IIB) or locally advance cancer (stage III), following the TNM 7th edition classification. Patients with metastatic disease that relapse after the initial diagnosis of local or advance disease could be included in this study

- Severe cardiac arrythmia requiring treatment
- Significant ophthalmologic anomalies
- Deficit in Dihydropyrimidine-Dehydrogenase (DPD)
- Unable to take oral drug. Previous surgical process that affect the absorption or make the needed to have intravenous feeding or parenteral nutrition with lipids
- Pregnancy women or in lactation period
- Previous treatment with capecitabine or EGFR inhibitor
- Metabolic disease or any other disease which, in the investigator's opinion, might interfere with the treatment in study
- Known hypersensibility to any study drug (gemcitabine, erlotinib, capecitabine) or to 5-fluorouracile and fluoropyrimidines
- Current infection grade ≥ 2 (CTCAE)
- +3 more criteria
