Matthew H. G. Katz, MD, sheds light on the phase 2 A021501 trial (NCT02839343), which showed that neoadjuvant mFOLFIRINOX provided a favorable overall survival benefit in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma when administered prior to pancreatectomy.
Neoadjuvant mFOLFIRINOX induced favorable overall survival results for patients with borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma when administered prior to pancreatectomy, though neoadjuvant mFOLFIRINOX followed by hypofractionated radiation therapy did not prove to be similarly effective.
