Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die It is not yet known which chemotherapy regimen is more effective or whether chemotherapy is more effective than observation in treating pancreatic cancer after surgery

PURPOSE Phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of two chemotherapy regimens with no further therapy in treating patients who have completely resected pancreatic cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Compare the efficacy of adjuvant gemcitabine vs fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium vs observation only in patients with ampullary or other pancreatic malignancy in terms of overall survival in patients with completely resected pancreatic cancer

Secondary

Compare the toxicity of these regimens in these patients
Compare the quality of life and 5-year survival of patients treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to histology ductal adenocarcinoma vs ampullary or other pancreatic malignancy resection margin status and participating country Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms Randomization for patients with ampullary or other pancreatic malignancy includes an observation arm

Arm I Patients receive leucovorin calcium IV and fluorouracil IV on days 1-5
Arm II Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1 8 and 15
Arm III patients with ampullary or other pancreatic malignancy only Patients undergo observation

Treatment in arms I and II repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Quality of life is assessed at baseline 3 6 and 12 months and then annually for 5 years

Patients are followed every 3 months

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 1030 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma 515 per arms I and II will be accrued for this study
