Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Clopidogrel has been shown to slow down tumor progression in orthoptic pancreatic murine tumor. In a pilot study, the rate of microparticles was correlated with response rate of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The aim of the study is; * to compare the phenotypes of coagulation, the tumor progression and metastasis formation with and without clopidogrel treatment in association with chemotherapy in advanced pancreatic cancer patients * to correlate the decrease of microparticles levels after one month of chemotherapy with tumor response (ancillary study)
