Gemcitabine (Gemzar) & nab-Paclitaxel

Regimen

Note: The abstract and body of Von Hoff, et al. 2011 contradicted each other about which drug is given first in this regimen.

GTX

GTX: Gemcitabine, Taxotere, Xeloda

Regimen

Note: De Jesus-Acosta, et al. 2012 lists the capecitabine dose as "750 mg/m2/day orally divided into two doses," but this is believed to be a typographical error since the original reference that it cites, Fine, et al. 2008, uses capecitabine at 750 mg/m2 PO BID. The 2009 ASCO abstract by Fine also lists this 750 mg/m2 PO BID (1500 mg/m2/day) dose.

21-day cycles, given until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity

OFF: Oxaliplatin, Folinic acid, Fluorouracil
