Trial Information

Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma


- Participants will receive capecitabine orally twice daily for 14 days, from the evening
of Day 1 to the morning of Day 15 of the study, and oxaliplatin on Day 1 of each cycle
(one cycle is 3 weeks long) until their cancer worsens or they experience any serious
side effects.

- Participants will undergo the following procedures midcycle (between Days 10 and 14 of
each cycle): Symptom and side effect assessment and blood samples.

- After every two cycles of study treatment, participants will undergo a CT or MRI scan
to measure the tumor.
