RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving erlotinib before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Studying the proteins expressed in samples of tumor tissue in the laboratory from patients with pancreatic cancer may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is looking at the effect of erlotinib on protein expression in patients with pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery.

Official Title: | Phase IIA Trial Testing Erlotinib as an Intervention Against Intraductal Pancreatic Mucinous Neoplasms |
Estimated Enrollment: | 30 |
Study Start Date: | May 2006 |
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
Secondary
OUTLINE: Patients receive oral erlotinib hydrochloride daily for 5-42 days. Patients then proceed to surgery.
Biopsies and blood samples are taken at baseline and after completion of erlotinib hydrochloride. Samples are assessed by IHC for mucin 5AC protein expression, total and phosphorylated EGFR, total and phosphorylated AKT, phosphorylated MAPK, claudin-4, vimentin, E-cadherin, and HER-3. Pharmacological studies are also conducted.
After surgery, patients are followed at 4-8 weeks.
