Active substance

chemotherapy (FOLFIRINOX, gemcitabine) and radiation

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could help more patients with pancreatic cancer complete treatment and undergo surgery, potentially improving survival.

What could go wrong

This is a phase 2 trial with only 125 participants, so results are preliminary. Pancreatic cancer is aggressive, and the therapy may not work for everyone or may cause significant side effects.
