Overview

Gemcitabine is a nucleoside analog chemotherapy agent being investigated by MedStar Health Research Institute for the treatment of resectable pancreatic and periampullary adenocarcinoma. In this specific clinical protocol (MedStar Georgetown IRB Protocol 2009-455), the drug is administered via an intraperitoneal route rather than the standard intravenous route. The treatment regimen involves hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) administered intraoperatively during a Whipple procedure, followed by six months of adjuvant normothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (NIPEC). Gemcitabine acts as a pyrimidine antimetabolite that inhibits ribonucleotide reductase and competes with deoxycytidine triphosphate for incorporation into DNA, leading to chain termination and apoptosis. This regional delivery approach is designed to maximize local drug concentration and reduce peritoneal recurrence.
