Efficacy and Safety of Surufatinib Combined With Gemcitabine and Albumin-bound Paclitaxel in the Peri-operative Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer

This is a phase II, multi-centered, open-label study, aims to explore the efficacy and safety of surufatinib (250mg, qd po) combined with gemcitabine (1000mg/m2, I.V, d1/8/15, Q4W) and nab-paclitaxel (125mg/m2, I.V, d1/8/15, Q4W) as peri-operative treatment in locally advanced or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. Potential therapeutic biomarkers will also be explored.
