Nimotuzumab Plus NALIRIFOX in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

This clinical study is designed as a prospective, open-label, single arm study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Nimotuzumab combined with NALIRIFOX in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). Patients will receive Nimotuzumab plus NALIRIFOX as conversion therapy, and imaging assessments (according to RECIST V.1.1 criteria) will be performed every two cycles (every two months) of conversion therapy. The resectability of the primary pancreatic lesion will be judged based on NCCN guidelines and will be determined by a multidisciplinary team of experts. The main endpoint is overall survival (OS). Additional end points included resection rates, progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), safety, etc.
