Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of Patients Alive and Without Radiological and/or Clinical Progression 6 Months After the Randomization
The primary endpoint was the rate of patients alive and progression-free 6 months after randomization. Progression was assessed by the investigator and defined radiologically according to RECIST v1.1 criteria and/or clinically as deterioration of general condition not related to treatment, palpable tumor masses on clinical examination (adenopathy, tumor hepatomegaly, peritoneal carcinosis), pleural effusion, ascites. Patients who progressed or died before 6 months were considered to have failed the primary endpoint at 6 months. The 6-month imaging was the imaging done at 6 months with a +/- 1 month window.
6 months after randomization
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Overall Survival (OS):
Up to 2 years after the treatment start
Best Response
Up to the end of treatment on the average of 12 months
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
up to 12 months after randomization
Study Arms (2)
nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine/FOLFIRI.3
EXPERIMENTALAlternance of : * 2 months with nab-paclitaxel (125 g/m² - 30 min in IV) + gemcitabine (1000 mg/m², 30 min in IV, 3 injections follow by 1 week free) * follow by 2 months with FOLFIRI.3 (irinotecan: 90 mg/m² at D1, acid folinic 400 mg/m², 5Fu continus: 2000 mg/m² IV 46 hours, and irinotecan at D3, 90 mg/m²) This alternance continus until progression
nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine
ACTIVE COMPARATORnab-paclitaxel (125 g/m² - 30 min in IV) + gemcitabine (1000 mg/m² - 30 min in IV) 3 injections follow by 1 week free, until progression
Interventions
For each cycle : 1 week out of 2 - injection at Day1, J15 Irinotécan 90 mg/m² at day1 in perfusion over 60 min in Y of folinic acid Folinic Acid 400 mg/m² (or 200 mg/m² Elvorine) at Day 1 in perfusion over 2 hours 5FU continu 2000 mg/m² during 46 hours Irinotécan at 90 mg/m² in perfusion over 60 mn at Day 3 (when 5FU perfusion is over)
For each cycle : 3 weeks out of 4 - injection at Day 1, 8 and 15 Nab-paclitaxel : 125 mg/m² of nab-paclitaxel in perfusion over 30 mn. Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² in perfusion over 30 mn immediately after Nab paclitaxel administration is over.
