This trial is for adults with localized, resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma and no previous chemotherapy or radiation for it. Borderline-resectable, unresectable, and metastatic disease are excluded.

The idea: pembrolizumab blocks PD-1 to release an immune brake. Patients receive six two-week FOLFIRINOX cycles with two pembrolizumab doses before surgery. Afterward, up to six cycles of fluorouracil-based chemotherapy accompany seven more pembrolizumab doses. Pembrolizumab is given every six weeks. Researchers assess pathological response and safety.

This phase 2 study plans 30 patients. Ernest Camp leads at Baylor College of Medicine; three Houston sites recruit.
