Safety and Efficacy of Gemcitabine, Docetaxel, Capecitabine, Cisplatin as Second-line Therapy for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer After FOLFIRINOX.
2020
BACKGROUND/AIM The aim of this monocentric study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a polychemotherapy regimen based on gemcitabine, docetaxel, capecitabine, cisplatin (PDGX) as second-line for advanced pancreatic cancer after FOLFIRINOX. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients received FOLFIRINOX as first-line regimen were retrospectively identified between January 2016 and January 2019. After disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, patients eligible for second-line therapy were treated in our center by PDGX. RESULTS During this period, 18 patients received PDGX regimen as second-line therapy. Main grade 3 toxicities were hematologic, which required dose adaptation in 14/18 patients. No toxic death was observed. Median second-line progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 2,91 and 5,3 months, respectively. Total OS from the initiation of first-line was and 11,9 months. CONCLUSION Second-line PDGX regimen after FOLFIRINOX failure is feasible, with notable toxicity profile and is associated with poor clinical outcomes.
