Abstract Background There is no established second-line treatment after failure of gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP) therapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer (MPC). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the modified FOLFIRINOX (mFFX) as a second-line therapy for MPC and investigate prognostic factors for survival. Methods From 2015–2019, we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients receiving mFFX for MPC after failure of GnP therapy. Patients were treated every 2 weeks with mFFX (intravenous oxaliplatin 85 mg/m 2 , intravenous irinotecan 150 mg/m 2 , and continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil 2,400 mg/m 2 for 46 hours without bolus infusion) until disease progression, patient refusal, or unacceptable toxicity. Results In total, 104 patients received mFFX. The median overall survival (OS) was 7.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.2-9.8) and the progression-free survival (PFS) 3.9 months (95% CI 2.8-5.0). The objective response rate was 10.6% and the disease control rate 56.7%. The median relative dose intensities of oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and infusional 5-FU were 80.0% (range 21.5-100%), 77.2% (range 38.1-100%), and 85.9% (range 36.9-100%), respectively. Grade 3-4 toxicities were reported in 57 patients (54.8%), including neutropenia, leukopenia, anemia, febrile neutropenia, and peripheral sensory neuropathy. Glasgow prognostic score and carcinoembryonic antigen level were independently associated with survival. Our prognostic model using these parameters could classify the patients into good (n = 38), intermediate (n = 47), and poor (n = 19) prognostic groups. The median OS and PFS time was 14.7 (95% CI 7.6-16.3) and 7.6 months (95% CI 4.1-10.5) for the good prognostic factors, 6.5 (95% CI 5.5-10.0) and 3.6 months (95% CI 2.7-4.8) for the intermediate prognostic factors and 5.0 (95% CI 2.9-6.6) and 1.7 months (95% CI 0.9-4.3) for the poor prognostic factors, respectively. Conclusions The mFFX showed to be a tolerable second-line treatment for MPC after GnP failure. Our prognostic model might be useful for deciding whether mFFX is indicated in this setting.

4124 Background: There is no established second-line therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer after failure of standard first-line treatment with gemcitabine. In view of the urgent need of such therapy and the observation of clinically meaningful responses with pemetrexed in previously untreated pancreatic cancer, this phase II study evaluated pemetrexed as second-line therapy. Methods: This study was planned to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pemetrexed in 54 patients (pts) with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer (stage II-IV), ECOG performance status ≤2 and estimated life expectancy of ≥12 weeks (wks) after failure of first-line gemcitabine single agent or combination therapy. Pemetrexed was started at 500 mg/m2 q3w (10 min infusion), with vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation. Dose escalation by 100 mg/m2 every other cycle and an unlimited number of cycles were allowed. Primary endpoint was the 3-month survival rate. Results: A total of 189 treatment cycles (median 2, range 1–20) was given to 52 pts (60% male, median age 63 yrs, median time since initial diagnosis 32 wks, 89% stage IV disease). Doses were escalated in 2 pts (4%) and reduced due to toxicity in 9 pts (17%); median dose per cycle was 500 mg/m2 (range 212–700 mg/m2). The 3-month survival rate was 75% (95% CI 63.2–86.8%). At a median follow-up of 20 wks, the median overall survival estimate was 20 wks, with 9 pts alive including 1 still on pemetrexed. Median TTP was 7 wks (range 1–62 wks). The overall response rate was 3.8% (0 CR, 2 PR); 12 pts (23%) had SD for ≥6 wks, 9 of them for ≥12 wks. CA 19–9 decreased at least once by ≥ 50% in 12 pts (23%). Grade 3/4 hematological toxicity rates per pt were as follows: neutropenia 17.3% (febrile neutopenia: 3.8%), leukopenia 15.4%, thrombopenia 5.8% and anemia 3.8%. Conclusion: Pemetrexed is a feasible option for second-line therapy with mild toxicity and encouraging activity in unresectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer after gemcitabine failure.
