Gem/nab-P Chemotherapy: nab-paclitaxel (125 mg per square meter of body-surface area) followed by gemcitabine (1000 mg per square meter) on days 1, 8 every 3 weeks
Study summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided radioactive iodine 125 seeds in combination with AG regimen chemotherapy for the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* whether the combination of minimally invasive endoscopy-guided local radiation therapy with chemotherapy may improve overall survival
* the adverse events of the combination therapy Participants will receive the implantation of radioactive seeds under EUS guide. 48h after implantation, chemotherapy with Gem/nab-P given on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle will be conducted.
Researchers will compare the I125+AG group with the group that takes AG chemotherapy alone to see if the overall survival can be improved.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Overall survival (OS) — 48 months OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death (any cause). Patients who are alive will be censored at the last known time that the patient was alive.
