What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of NALIRINOX combined with PD-1 sequential radiotherapy versus AG combined with PD-1 sequential radiotherapy as first-line treatment for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Participants will receive either treatment regimen to determine which is more effective in managing their condition. The study aims to provide insights into the best therapeutic approach for this challenging cancer type.

Why it matters
