Clinical Trial Information

354 Background: FOLFIRINOX increases survival in pancreatic cancer. The Brown University Oncology Group developed the FOLFOX-A regimen in a phase I study. (Am J Clin Oncol, 2016). We subsequently opened phase II studies of FOLFOX-A in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer (BrUOG 292), locally advanced/borderline pancreatic cancer (BrUOG 318) and adjuvant disease following resection (BrUOG 295). The BrUOG Data Safety Monitoring Committee met on May 22, 2018. Toxicity of FOLFOX-A reviewed at the May meeting aligned with data lock in April on phase II FOLFOX-A studies and is summarized. Methods: Patients received oxaliplatin, 85mg/m2 day 1, nab-paclitaxel, 150mg/m2 and leucovorin 400mg/m2 day 1 and fluorouracil 2400mg/m2 by continuous IV infusion over 46 hours. Myeloid growth factor support was optional. Cycles were repeated every 14 days for up to 10-12 cycles. Oxaliplatin was dose reduced to 68mg/m2 for grade 2 neurotoxicity. CTCAE version 4 toxicity scales were utilized. Results: A total of 81 patients were accrued, (22 adjuvant, 36 metastatic, 23 locally advanced disease). Cumulative fatigue was the most common toxicity and required dose reduction in 50% of patients. The incidences of grade 2, 3 and 4 neutropenia were 26%, 17% and 6%, respectively. Grade 2,3 and 4 diarrhea were 9%, 15% and 0%. The rates of grade 2,3 and 4 neuropathy were 29%, 2% and 0%. Conclusions: FOLFOX-A is well tolerated with low incidences of grade 3 neuropathy and gastrointestinal toxicity. Toxicities were less frequent in patients treated in the adjuvant setting. Clinical trial information: NCT02080221, NCT02022033, NCT02578732.
