Treatment and study plan

surufatinib + gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel

Drug

Neoadjuvant therapy:

Surufatinib: 250mg, QD po; Nab-paclitaxel: 125mg/m2, I.V., D1/8, Q3W; Gemcitabine: 1000/m2,I.V., D1/8, Q3W.

Adjuvant therapy:

Gemcitabine: 1000/m2,I.V., D1/8, Q3W; Capecitabine: 1650-2000mg/(m2·d) bid, po, d1-14, Q3W.

Gemcitabine + Nab-paclitaxel

Drug

Neoadjuvant therapy:

Nab-paclitaxel: 125mg/m2, I.V., D1/8, Q3W; Gemcitabine: 1000/m2,I.V., D1/8, Q3W.

Adjuvant therapy:

Gemcitabine: 1000/m2,I.V., D1/8, Q3W; Capecitabine: 1650-2000mg/(m2·d) bid, po, d1-14, Q3W.

Primary outcomes

  1. Surgical complete resection rate (R0)

    Time frame: about 1 year

    This is a complete macroscopic resection of the gross tumor with negative surgical margins

Secondary outcomes

  1. Event-free survival (EFS)

    Time frame: about 2 years

    The time from randomization to the first event of disease progression that precluded surgery, local or distant recurrence, or death from any cause

  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: about 1 year

    ORR= Complete response rate + partial response rate

  3. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Time frame: about 1 year

    DCR= Complete response rate + partial response rate + disease stable rate

  4. Downstaging Rate

    Time frame: about 1 year

    To determine the rate of downstaging after preoperative therapy

  5. Pathological complete response (pCR) rate

    Time frame: about 1 year

    pCR is defined as the absence of residual tumor cells in the pathological examination after resection

  6. Overall survival (OS)

    Time frame: about 5 years

    Time from randomization to death

  7. Adverse events (AEs)

    Time frame: about 2 years

    treatment-related adverse events and serious adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v6.0
