Summary

This study tested a combination of four drugs (paclitaxel protein bound, gemcitabine, cisplatin, and paricalcitol) given before surgery to people with pancreatic cancer that could or could not be removed. The goal was to see if the treatment could shrink tumors and improve surgical outcomes. 40 participants were enrolled, and researchers measured tumor markers and how many tumors could be completely removed.
