Ampullary adenocarcinoma (AAC) is a rare gastrointestinal cancer with varying survival rates, particularly the aggressive pancreatobiliary (PB) subtype. Adjuvant therapy benefits only PB and mixed subtype patients, while prospective studies are required for validation. A study proposes tailored adjuvant treatments (CAPOX for intestinal subtype, FOLFIRINOX for PB and mixed subtypes) based on histopathology to enhance survival, also exploring molecular sub-studies for deeper insights.

Disease-free survival (3y)
Disease-free survival (DFS) refers to the length of time after treatment for a disease in months, such as cancer, during which no signs or symptoms of the disease recur or progress. It is a crucial measure in assessing the effectiveness of a treatment regimen in preventing the return of the disease. In cancer contexts, DFS focuses on the period without disease recurrence or progression, highlighting the success of the treatment in controlling the illness.

This cohort consist of patients with intestinal-type ampullary adenocarcinoma who are able to receive adjuvant chemotherapy.
This cohort consist of patients with intestinal-type ampullary adenocarcinoma who are able to receive adjuvant chemotherapy but due to logistics or patient preference, are not willing to receive adjuvant chemotherapy.
This cohort consist of patients with Pancreatobiliary/mixed-type ampullary adenocarcinoma who are able to receive adjuvant chemotherapy.
This cohort consist of patients with Pancreatobiliary/mixed-type ampullary adenocarcinoma who are able to receive adjuvant chemotherapy but due to logistics or patient preference, are not willing to receive adjuvant chemotherapy.
Patients meeting the criteria of post-operative adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater will be enrolled, with adjuvant chemotherapy commencing within 8 weeks of recovery from surgery. Those undergoing palliative intent surgery or palliative chemotherapy are ineligible for the ADAPTA study. The ADAPTA study's adjuvant chemotherapy involves 8-12 FOLFIRINOX cycles (Arm 2) repeated 2 weeks. Given patient outcomes, 8 cycles of FOLFIRINOX are deemed sufficient due to completion challenges in prior research. FOLFIRINOX regimen mirrors the modified version from the ACCORD/PRODIGE trial for metastatic pancreatic cancer. This trial adapts mFOLFIRINOX for standard practice.
Eligible patients are adult non-pregnant patients with a good WHO performance score and have (borderline) resectable non-metastatic ampullary cancer.
