Brief Summary

The PREOPANC-3 study is a randomized, multicenter, phase 3 trial. Patients with resectable pancreatic cancer will be randomly assigned (1:1) to 8 cycles of neoadjuvant mFOLFIRINOX followed by surgery and 4 cycles of adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX (arm 1) or to upfront surgery followed by 12 cycles of adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX (arm 2). The primary objective of the trial is to determine whether perioperative mFOLFIRINOX improves overall survival compared with adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer.

Study Arms (2)

Arm 1: Perioperative mFOLFIRINOX

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in the intervention arm (arm 1) start with neoadjuvant mFOLFIRINOX (consisting of oxaliplatin 85 mg/m², irinotecan 150 mg/m², leucovorin 400 mg/m², all at day 1, and fluorouracil continuous IV infusion 2.4 g/m² over 46 hours). Cycles are repeated every 14 days. After eight cycles, surgical resection is performed in the absence of unresectable or metastatic disease. After resection, four cycles of adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX are scheduled.

Arm 2: Adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients in the comparator arm (arm 2) start with surgery. After resection, 12 cycles of adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX (consisting of oxaliplatin 85 mg/m², irinotecan 150 mg/m², leucovorin 400 mg/m², all at day 1, and fluorouracil continuous IV infusion 2.4 g/m² over 46 hours) are scheduled.
