Efficacy and safety of FOLFIRINOX in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

305 Background: FOLFIRINOX, one of the gold standard in metastatic pancreatic cancer as first-line therapy for patients under 76 years with PS 0-1, good haematological and renal function and a subnormal bilirubin level (Prodige 4 criteria), was analysed in Brittany (B) and Pays de la Loire (PL) in routine clinical practice. Methods: Our aim is to evaluate the use of Folfirinox between July 2010 and December 2012 in B/PL. Results: Data of 340 patients have been studied (198 men, median age 63 years [29-81]). 208 patients were metastatic at diagnosis (liver 67%). 62 primary tumors were resected and 51 patients had received previous adjuvant chemotherapy (gemcitabine, n=48). The median progression free survival PFS and overall survival OS were respectively 6.80 months IC95% [6.18-7.43] and 10.97 months IC 95% [9.56-11.83]. Patients could be divided into 4 groups : Group 1 composed of patients treated according to Prodige 4 trial (n=242), Group 2 1 st line metastatic patients with at least one Prodige 4 non-eligibility criterion (n=25), Group 3 locally advanced patients (n=59) and Group 4 by Folfirinox in 2 nd line (n=14). The median number of cycles was 9 [1-27] in Group 1 and 6 [1-12] in Group 2. Clinical benefit was 65% (group 1) vs 56% (group 2). During treatment, 81% of patients had a dose adjustment (Group 1) vs 72% (Group 2) and 32% vs 40% presented grade III/IV toxicity (mostly neuro- or haematotoxicity). Median PFS were respectively in Group 1 vs Group 2 : 6.54 months IC95% [5.98-7.29] vs 4.14 [1.68-6.21] (p=0.0107) and median OS :10.91 months IC 95% [8.94-12.02] vs 7.0 IC95% [4.01-11.20] (p=0.0166). For Group 3 and 4, median OS were respectively 11.24 months [10.0-15.01] vs 11.50 [4.83-14.09]. Others results will be shown at the meeting. For Group 1, stopping treatment before progression induced significatively better median PFS and OS than going on treatment until progression : PFS : 8.25 IC95[7.52-8.74] vs 3.48. IC95 [3.09-4.44] (p<0.0001) and OS : 12.78 months IC95 [11.60-15.54] vs 7.62 IC95 [6.44-9.49] (p<0.0001). Conclusions: Our results for Group 1 are relatively consistent with those of Prodige 4: objective response rate (39% vs 32%), PFS (6.5 vs 6.4 months) and OS (10.9 vs 11.1 months). Non eligibity for Prodige 4’s criteria decreases PFS and OS significantly.
