Replication-competent Adenovirus-mediated Double Suicide Gene Therapy (Theragene®,Ad5-yCD/mutTKSR39rep-ADP) showed safety and anti-cancer effect in patients with pancreatic cancer in phase I study.
From the experience of phase I study, the safety and efficacy of combination with standard chemotherapy and radiation therapy with Theragene treatment will be assessed in this study.

Pancreatic cancer is associated with an extremely poor prognosis, reflected by a 5-y survival probability of less than 5% when all stages are combined. At present, only approximately 10%-20% of patients are considered candidates for curative resection. The majority of patients (50%-60%) are present with metastatic disease, and substantial number of patients (approximately 30%-40%) are considered ''locally advanced'' at the time of diagnosis.
Replication-competent Adenovirus-mediated Double Suicide Gene Therapy (Theragene®,Ad5-yCD/mutTKSR39rep-ADP) showed an anti-cancer effect in patients with prostatic cancer in phase I study. From the experience of prostatic cancer, the safety of combination with standard chemotherapy with Theragene treatment is assessed in this study.
