Brief summary

Gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel are one standard of care for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) but the progression free survival (PFS) of the regimen is only 5.5 months. Previous phase II study showed gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel plus cisplatin had a PFS of 10.1 months in mPDAC. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel plus S-1/LV (GASL) against gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel plus oxaliplatin (GAP) in patients with mPDAC.

Detailed description

Gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel are one standard of care for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) but the progression free survival (PFS) of the regimen is only 5.5 months. Previous phase II study showed gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel plus cisplatin had a PFS of 10.1 months in mPDAC. However, the nephrotoxicity of cisplatin is always a concern therefore cisplatin was substituted with oxaliplatin in current study. S-1 monotherapy has shown promising anti-tumor activity against PDAC with a manageable safety profile which provided the opportunity of combination with other agents. In this study, we will evaluate the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel plus S-1/LV (GASL) against gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel plus oxaliplatin (GAP) in patients with mPDAC.

Interventions

Gemcitabine 800mg/m2 in N/S 250ml over 30 minutes (or fixed dose rate 10 mg/m2/min) IV infusion on day 1 repeated every 14 days.

DRUGNab paclitaxel

Nab-paclitaxel 125mg/m2 over 30 minutes IV infusion on day 1 repeated every 14 days, followed by Gemcitabine

DRUGS1

S-1 orally 60-100 mg/day day 1 to 7 on in a 2-week cycle. The dose of S-1 is defined as follows: * BSA \< 1.25 m2: 60 mg/day * 1.25 m2 ≤ BSA \< 1.5 m2: 80 mg/day * BSA ≥ 1.5 m2: 100 mg/day

DRUGleucovorin

leucovorin 30mg BID day 1 to 7 on in a 2-week cycle

DRUGOxaliplatin

Oxaliplatin 75mg/m2 in 250 mL of D5W over 120 minutes IV infusion on day 1 repeated every 14 days
