Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
1.1 Primary Objective To evaluate the effects of short course preoperative erlotinib treatment in a panel of predictive biomarkers from a group of patients who undergo resection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma with curative intent. 1.2 Secondary Objectives 1.2.1 To analyze the effects of short course preoperative erlotinib treatment followed by postoperative erlotinib-gemcitabine therapy in the disease-free survival of patients who undergo curative intent resection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. 1.2.2 To evaluate secondary endpoints of disease response such as duration of overall survival and patterns of recurrence for patients with resectable pancreatic cancer who undergo this treatment regimen. 1.2.3 To evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetics of erlotinib in pancreatic cancer patients both in the preoperative and postoperative setting, and to explore correlations between plasma and tumor erlotinib concentrations. 1.2.4 To develop a clinically relevant predictive assay of response to erlotinib based on selected biomarkers in endoscopic ultrasound-fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) specimens when it can be obtained at the time of pancreatic cancer diagnosis in chemotherapy-naive patients.

- During the trial only
- description
- It was our belief that we would need a comprehensive analysis of a dynamic panel of biomarkers relevant to EGFR signaling as well as the erlotinib mechanism of action it seems more useful in that sense. Furthermore,the ability limited of pancreatic cancer tissue sampling precluded biomarker correlation assays.These could not be worked out in either a xenograft model or in in-vitro conditions.
