Brief summary public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

No validated second-line chemotherapy for the treatment of locally advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer is actually available,after the failure of a gemcitabine(+/- Cisplatin or Oxaliplatin)-based regimen. Irinotecan seems to be a moderately active drug in the treatment of this disease Recently was reported some interesting results using a potentially non -cross resistant regimen (FOLFIRI) which could be useful even as second-line chemotherapy. An exploratory study in this setting seem warranted.
