The phase III MPACT trial demonstrated the superiority of gemcitabine (Gem) combined with Nab-paclitaxel (Nab-P) versus gemcitabine alone in previously untreated patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Gem/Nab-P in routine clinical practice.
From January 2015 to December 2018, patients with metastatic PDAC receiving firstline treatment with a combination of gemcitabine and Nab-paclitaxel were included in a multicentre retrospective observational study. Exploratory analyses of efficacy, and prognostic and predictive markers, were performed.
The cohort comprised 115 patients (median age 65 [range 50-84] years) with good performance status (ECOG PS 0-1). The median overall survival (OS) was 11 months (95% CI; 9-13) and the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6 months (95% CI 5-7). Partial response and stable disease were achieved in 44 and 30 patients, respectively, yielding an overall disease control rate (DCR) of 64.3%. Grade 3-4 hematological toxicity frequency was 22.61% for neutropenia, 5.22% for anemia, and 3.48% for thrombocytopenia. Grade 3 asthenia was recorded in 2.61% of patients. No grade 4 non-hematological events were reported. Dose reduction was necessary in 51.3% of the patients.
Our results confirm the efficacy and safety of a first-line regimen comprising gemcitabine and Nab-paclitaxel in metastatic PDAC in a real-life population.
III 期 MPACT 试验表明,与单独使用吉西他滨(Gem)相比,在未经治疗的转移性胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)患者中,吉西他滨联合 Nab-紫杉醇(Nab-P)具有优越性。本研究的目的是评估 Gem/Nab-P 在常规临床实践中的效果。
从 2015 年 1 月至 2018 年 12 月,在一项多中心回顾性观察研究中,纳入了转移性 PDAC 患者,这些患者接受了 Gem 和 Nab-紫杉醇联合一线治疗。对疗效、预后和预测标志物进行了探索性分析。
该队列包括 115 名患者(中位年龄 65 [范围 50-84] 岁),表现状态良好(ECOG PS 0-1)。中位总生存期(OS)为 11 个月(95%CI;9-13),中位无进展生存期(PFS)为 6 个月(95%CI 5-7)。44 名患者和 30 名患者分别获得部分缓解和稳定疾病,总疾病控制率(DCR)为 64.3%。中性粒细胞减少症、贫血和血小板减少症的 3-4 级血液学毒性发生率分别为 22.61%、5.22%和 3.48%。3 级乏力的发生率为 2.61%。未报告 4 级非血液学事件。51.3%的患者需要减少剂量。
我们的结果证实了在真实人群中转移性 PDAC 的一线治疗方案(包括吉西他滨和 Nab-紫杉醇)的疗效和安全性。
