The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if minocycline can reduce the side
effects of chemotherapy in patients with pancreatic cancer. In this study, minocycline will
be compared to a placebo.
Minocycline is an antibiotic that may help to reduce side effects of chemotherapy.
A placebo is not a drug. It looks like the study drug, but it is not designed to treat any
disease or illness. It is designed to be compared with a study drug to learn if the study
drug has any real effect.
