摘要: A randomized controlled trial has begun in Japan to compare orally administered S-1 with intravenous gemcitabine (GEM) as adjuvant chemotherapy for patients curatively resected pancreatic cancer. Patients are enrolled within 10 weeks after pancreatectomy be treated six months assignment either (80 mg/m(2)/day four weeks, repeated similarly every a total of courses) or GEM (1000 mg/m(2) on days 1, 8 and 15, courses). The primary endpoint is overall survival; secondary endpoints include relapse-free survival, incidence adverse events health-related quality life. Each treatment arm includes 180 patients, providing an expected hazard ratio 0.87 upper margin 1.25 (two-sided alpha-error, 0.05; power, 0.8). Follow-up abdominal computed tomography three during the first two years, then years.
