Activity and safety of Nab-FOLFIRI and Nab-FOLFOX as first-line treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer (phase II NabucCO study).

351Background: FOLFIRINOX is an approved regimen for metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC). We performed a modification in FOLFIRINOX schedule, using nab-paclitaxel (nab-p) to obtain two regimens that could be as effective and less toxic than the original triplet. NabucCO study was a randomized phase II trial to assess activity and toxicity of nab-p instead of either oxaliplatin (Nab-FOLFIRI) or irinotecan (Nab-FOLFOX) in first line setting. Previous dose–finding NabucCO study defined that maximum tolerated dose of nab-p with FOLFIRI is 120 mg/m2, and with FOLFOX is 160 mg/m2. Methods: The study was a 1:1 parallel arm, open label, not comparative one to assess overall response rate (ORR) of Nab-FOLFIRI and Nab-FOLFOX as primary end-point. Patients (pts) with PS 0-1, untreated for mPC were randomized to receive leucovorin 400 mg/m2, 5FU bolus 400 mg/m2, 5FU 48h ci 2400 mg/m2, irinotecan 180 mg/m2 plus nab-p 120 mg/m2 (arm A) or leucovorin 400 mg/m2, 5FU bolus 400 mg/m2, 5FU 48h ci 2400 mg/m2 and oxaliplatin 8...
