403Background: The clinical phase III first-line trials MPACT and PRODIGE4/ACCORD11 in metastatic PAC pts have changed the treatment paradigm. We aimed to analyse the impact of these regimens on the treatment landscape and survival of advanced PAC pts. Methods: In this single institutional retrospective cohort analysis patient characteristics and overall survival (OS) from all pts with advanced PAC treated between 01/2011-12/2017 were analysed. Survival analyses were performed by Kaplan-Meier method. Results: A total of 301 pts started a systemic treatment in the observation period. Concerning the first-line treatment, there was a clear shift from four different main regimens (gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (G+nab-P), FOLFIRINOX, gemcitabine/oxaliplatin +/- erlotinib, gemcitabine mono) to only two (G+Nab-P, FOLFIRINOX), that made up more than 80% of the administered first-line treatments in each of the groups (2011-2013 vs. 2014-2017). The rate for first-line FOLFIRINOX treatment was balanced between the two ...
