This is an exploratory Phase I study is to assess the safety and tolerability of the OXIRI regimen \[oxaliplatin (O), xeloda (X) and irinotecan (I)\] and to evaluate for preliminary evidence of efficacy, in patients with advanced and/or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The investigators hypothesize that 2 of 3 weekly doses of oxaliplatin and genotype directed-dosing of irinotecan in combination with chronomodulated capecitabine (xeloda) administered continuously will be more tolerable than the FOLFIRINOX regimen (folinic acid, fluorouracil, irinotecan and oxaliplatin) while maintaining anti-tumour activity.
This study comprises a dose escalation phase using 3+3 design to determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of the OXIRI regimen and an expansion phase to further evaluate the MTD and to determine early signs of efficacy. Eligible patients will receive a novel chemotherapeutic regimen (OXIRI regimen) with xeloda being administered in a chronomodulated fashion and the dose of irinotecan being guided by the UGT1A1\*28 and UGT1A1\*6 genotype status of the patient.

Safety and tolerability of the OXIRI regimen as measured by the frequency of significant adverse events incurred by the participants, using CTCAE ver. 4 grading system
The safety and tolerability of the regimen will be assessed when the patient is on treatment and till 30 days after treatment.
Time frame: from first dose to 30 days after last dose
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of capecitabine when administered in a continuous chronomodulated fashion with genotype-directed dosing of irinotecan and metronomic dosing of oxaliplatin, using a conventional 3+3 design
Time frame: 2 years
Recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of the OXIRI regimen which is the MTD
Time frame: 2 years
Pharmacokinetics analysis of capecitabine
Plasma level of capecitabine, its intermediary metabolites (5'-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine \[DFCR\] and 5'- deoxy-5- fluorouridine \[DFUR\]) and 5FU will be measured at multiple time points on C1D1
Time frame: cycle 1 day 1
Pharmacokinetics analysis of Irinotecan
Plasma level of Irinotecan, SN-38 (active metabolite of irinotecan) and SN-38G will be measured at multiple time points on C1D1
Time frame: cycle 1 day 1
Efficacy of OXIRI as measured by response evaluation criteria in solid tumours (RECIST) version 1.1
Time frame: 3 years
