458 Background: Both FOLFIRINOX (FFX) and Nab-paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine(GnP) standard treatment in first-line treatment of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (MPA). It could be of interest to use them consecutively, knowing that there is currently no standard for second-line treatments for MPA. The aim of this study was to compare second-line modified FFX (mFFX) after GnP failure with second-line GnP after mFFX failure. Methods: From January 2015 to Jul 2017, medical records were retrospectively reviewed for consecutive patients receiving mFFX or GnP for a histologically proven MPA after failure of GnP or mFFX respectively. Patients were treated with mFFX (intravenous oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, irinotecan 150 mg/m2, 5-FU infusion 2,400 mg/m2 over 46 h, no bolus 5-FU) or GnP (Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2/, nab-paclitaxel 125mg/m2 d1,8 15) until disease progression, patient refusal or unacceptable toxicity. Results: Second-line mFFX was administered to 50 patients and GnP was 25 patients. At baseline of second-line treatment, there was no difference in patient’s characteristics between mFFX group and GnP group. No significant difference in the response rate (mFFX, 16.6% vs. GnP, 10.5%, P = 0.63) or the disease control rate (mFFX, 50% vs. GnP, 64%, P = 0.82) was seen between the two groups. Median Progression free survival of GnP/mFFx were 4.3 months/4.6 months (p=0.89) and median survival (OS) from the 2nd line treatment of GnP/mFFx were 10.4 months/10.8 months (p=0.65) and OS from the first-line treatment of GnP/mFFx were 20.6 months/16.5 months (p=0.34). No toxic death occurred in both groups. There was no difference in the incident of adverse event between mFFX group and GnP group. Conclusions: Second-line mFFX and GnP achieved similar disease control and survival in unresectable pancreatic cancer. The use of the FFX and GnP in sequence is an attractive option to maximize disease control and survival. We need the clinical trial to compare with mFFX and GnP in sequence to guide the selection of initial chemotherapy.

e15796 Background: FOLFIRINOX is well known to be a highly effective treatment in pancreatic cancer for young patients with good performance status. As the original ACCORD study was carried out with patient’s performance status 0 or 1, many oncologists feel uncertain administering modified dose FOLFIRINOX (m-FOLFIRINOX) as a second-line therapy. We have previously reported our experience in 35 patients (aged 27 – 85) where we concluded that m-FOLFIRINOX can be administered safely with appropriate dose reductions. More recently, the systematic review and meta-analysis by Tong et al. concluded that m-FOLFIRINOX is a good choice of therapy even for those with poor performance status. This retrospective analysis assessed the efficacy of m-FOLFIRINOX in second-line treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Methods: Using an electronic database, patients with either locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma were identified who had received first-line gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel, followed by second-line m-FOLFIRINOX between January 2013 and July 2018. All patients had an ECOG performance status of 2 or less. Overall survival (OS) was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Fifty-two patients were identified, with 65% of the patients having metastatic pancreatic disease. Median age of patients was 75 (range, 27 – 86). Dose intensity of m-FOLFIRINOX was 65% for oxaliplatin, 68% for irinotecan, 18% for bolus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and 68% for infusional 5-FU. From diagnosis, the median OS of all patients was 45.0 months (95% CI, 25.0 – 63.0). The median OS of the locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma was 63.0 months (95% CI, 45.0 – 70.0) and 22.5 months (95% CI, 18.0, 38.0), respectively. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates the safety and efficacy of m-FOLFIRINOX as a second-line therapy after gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel failure. These findings correlate with the findings of Tong et al.’s findings of the benefits of m-FOLFIRINOX for advanced pancreatic cancer in patients with poor performance status.
