Official title: mFOLFIRINOX Plus Radiotherapy to Patients With CA19-9-normal Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Run by Fudan University · NCT06149689 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if combining a specific chemotherapy and radiotherapy can help people with advanced pancreatic cancer who have normal CA19-9 levels live longer and feel better.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 80 with histologically confirmed advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma and normal CA19-9 levels.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have previously received anti-tumor therapy or have elevated CA19-9 levels will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy in patients diagnosed with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma who have normal levels of the CA19-9 biomarker. Given that a significant portion of pancreatic cancer patients may present with normal CA19-9 levels, this trial aims to determine if this specific group responds better to the combined treatment approach. The study will measure progression-free survival, overall survival, and other response rates to assess the treatment's efficacy. Participants must meet specific eligibility criteria, including age and health status, to ensure safety and reliability of results.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve survival rates and quality of life for patients with a challenging form of pancreatic cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have suggested that patients with normal CA19-9 levels may respond better to combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy, indicating potential for success in this approach.
