e15146 Background: Early response assessment is important to differentiate patients (pts) who will benefit from salvage chemotherapy (sCx) for refractory pancreatic cancer (PaC), given its palliative nature. CA19-9 has been reported as a prognostic factor in the first-line treatment, but little data is available in sCx. Methods: Pts receiving sCx for refractory PaC at the University of Tokyo Hospital were retrospectively studied. Serum CA19-9 was measured prior to the initiation of each course. Cumulative progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated by Kaplan-Meier analysis and compared by log-rank test. Prognostic value of CA19-9 change prior to 2nd course was evaluated using a landmark method. Finally, multivariate analyses by the Cox proportional hazard model were performed for PFS and OS. Possible prognostic factors were age, gender, PS, disease status, metastatic site, pretreatment albumin, LDH, CRP, CA19-9, CA19-9 change prior to 2nd course, prior PFS, treatment line (2ndline or beyond) and sCx agents. Results: A total of 167 pts (a median age of 65, 95 males, 21 recurrent and a median previous PFS of 5.8 Mo) received 239 regimens as sCx including S-1(n=87), CPT-11 (n=53), GEM+oxaliplatin(Ox) (n=20), S-1+Ox(n=29), GEM (n=14) and S-1+paclitaxel iv+ip (n=12). Median PFS and OS were 2.7 (95%CI, 2.4-3.1) and 6.1 (95%CI, 5.3-7.2) Mo, respectively. Early CA19-9 progression was defined as CA19-9 increase >17.8%, a median value of CA19-9 change prior to 2nd course in this study population. Median PFS and OS were 2.6 vs. 1.0 Mo and 7.5 vs. 3.6 Mo (p<0.001) after landmark CA19-9 measurement in pts with and without CA19-9 response. Multivariate analyses demonstrated early CA19-9 progression was a negative prognostic factor of both PFS and OS (HR 1.75 and 2.04, p<0.001). Pretreatment serum markers (albumin, LDH, CRP and CA19-9) were prognostic of OS, but not PFS. Conclusions: Early CA19-9 progression was a negative prognostic factor of both PFS and OS in S-Cx for refractory PaC. Early termination should be considered in these patients who would less likely benefit from sCx.
