Treatment outcomes with first-line (1L) nab-Paclitaxel + gemcitabine (AG) and FOLFIRINOX (FFX) in metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (mPAC).

2017 
e18147Background: AG and FFX have demonstrated improved overall survival (OS) compared to gemcitabine (GEM) as 1L treatment (tx) for mPAC. Limited comparative data exists on AG vs FFX. This study compared time to treatment failure (TTF), OS, and patient (pt) demographics in mPAC pts receiving 1L AG vs FFX, and evaluated outcomes by performance status (PS) in a real-world setting. Methods: This was a retrospective observational cohort study of adult pts diagnosed with stage IV mPAC treated with 1L AG, FFX, or GEM monotherapy between 04/2013 and 10/2015 with at least 3 mo follow-up, to 01/2016. We report results for AG vs FFX; AG vs GEM analysis is ongoing. Data were programmatically extracted from the iKnowMed electronic health record database of pts in The US Oncology Network. Eligibility included ≥3 doses of A (for AG) or ≥2 doses of fluorouracil (for FFX), and excluded pts on clinical trial or with other cancer diagnoses during the study period. Categorical variables were compared with chi-squared tests...
