Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Overall survival
To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of second-line adjuvant therapy with AG versus OFF in terms of overall survival for gemcitabine-refractory pancreatic cancer after curative resection. Outpatient visit, phone interview
From date of enrollment until the date of death from any cause, assessed 2 cycles during the therapy and 3 months thereafter up to 24 months; Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days for AG regimen and 42 days for OFF regimen).
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Objective Response Rate
Complete Remission% + Partial Remission %, assessed 2 cycles during the therapy and 3 months thereafter up to 24 months; Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days for AG regimen and 42 days for OFF regimen).
Time to Remission
From date of enrollment until the date of remission, assessed 2 cycles during the therapy and 3 months thereafter up to 24 months; Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days for AG regimen and 42 days for OFF regimen).
Progression-Free Survival
From date of enrollment until the date of first documented progression, assessed 2 cycles during the therapy and 3 months thereafter up to 24 months; Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days for AG regimen and 42 days for OFF regimen).
The Levels of Tumor Biomarkers in Serum
2 cycles during the therapy and 3 months thereafter up to 24 months; Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days for AG regimen and 42 days for OFF regimen).
Number of grade 3 and 4 toxicities according to NCI CTCAE version 4.0
1 week during therapy and 3 months thereafter up to 24 months.
- +1 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine (AG)
EXPERIMENTALnab-paclitaxel at 100 mg/m\^2 on days 1, 8, and 15; gemcitabine at 1000 mg/m\^2 on days 1, 8, and 15
oxaliplatin + folinic acid + fluorouracil (OFF)
EXPERIMENTALoxaliplatin at 85mg/m\^2 on days 8 and 22, folinic acid at 200mg/m\^2 on days 1,8,15 and 22, fluorouracil at 2000mg/m\^2 on days 1,8,15 and 22.
Interventions
Patients firstly receive nab-paclitaxel 100 mg/m\^2 (iv, 30 minutes) on days 1, 8, and 15 for 3 weeks, followed by one week without treatment. Treatment repeats until there is disease progression or recurrence.
Patients secondly receive gemcitabine 1000 mg/m\^2 (iv, 30 minutes) on days 1, 8, and 15 for 3 weeks, followed by one week without treatment. Treatment repeats until there is disease progression or recurrence.
Patients receive oxaliplatin 85 mg/m\^2 (iv, 2 hours) on days 8 and 22 with 42 days as a cycle. Treatment repeats until there is disease progression or recurrence. Oxaliplatin is given before folinic acid and fluorouracil when the three drugs are given on the same days.
Patients receive folinic acid 200 mg/m\^2 (iv) on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 for 4 weeks, followed by 2 weeks without treatment. Treatment repeats until there is disease progression or recurrence.
Patients receive fluorouracil 2000 mg/m\^2 (iv, 24 hours) on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 for 4 weeks, followed by 2 weeks without treatment. Treatment repeats until there is disease progression or recurrence.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Signed informed content obtained prior to treatment
- Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 75 years
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
- Patients must have histologically confirmed pancreatic adenocarcinoma (or any mixed pathology if adenocarcinoma is predominant) after R0 or R1 resection. The pathological staging does not exceed the stage ⅡB. And the patients have received gemcitabine as adjuvant chemotherapy after curative resection.
- There is progression or recurrence of tumor during the course of adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine, or within 6 months after the whole courses of treatment.
- No severe defects in hematological system, immune system, cardiac function and pulmonary function.
- White blood cell (WBC) ≥ 4 × 10\^9/L; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10\^9/L; Platelets (PLT) ≥ 100 × 10\^9/L; Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9 g/dL
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT))/ alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT)) ≤ 2.5 × institutional upper limit of normal (ULN); Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ ULN; Creatinine (CRE) ≤ 1.5 × ULN
- Prothrombin time (PT) and international normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN
- The patients are willing to comply to the study plan and other requirements.
You may not qualify if:
- There is another malignant tumor with the patient.
- Patients who have received any form of anti-tumor therapy within 4 weeks prior to the enrollment, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, interventional chemoembolization, radiofrequency ablation, and molecular targeted therapy
- Use of any other investigational agents within 4 weeks prior to the enrollment.
- The progression or recurrence of tumor occurs after 6 months of the course of the adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine.
- Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, internal hemorrhage, pancreatic leakage, bile leakage, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biological composition to the drugs.
- Metabolic acidosis, acute or chronic, including ketoacidosis
- Pregnant or nursing women
- Any event or condition that is possible to harm the safety of the patients or the integrities of data, including severe medical risk factors, medical conditions, and laboratory disorders.
- Patients who are unwilling or unable to comply with study procedures, or may be absent from the observation for more than 7 days.
