Summary

Recently, a retrospective study reported the efficacy and safety of modified gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP), which were administered biweekly (on days 1 and 15). With 79 patients of metastatic pancreatic cancer, this study reported similar efficacy and improved toxicity profile compared with standard dose GnP (OS 10 months, PFS 5.4 months, Grade ≥3 Neutropenia 19%, Grade ≥3 sensory neuropathy 1.6%). Also, several studies reported that dose reduction of nab-paclitaxel in breast or pancreatic cancer treatment was not related of decreased survival, or related with prolonged survival and increased treatment exposure. However, this finding need to be evaluated in prospective clinical trial.

This phase II trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified GnP, which omit the day 8 administration of nab-paclitaxel, in metastatic pancreatic cancer.

DRUG

Modified Gemcitabine plus nab-Paclitaxel Combination Chemotherapy

All patients will receive slow (over 30-40 minutes) intravenous administration of nab-paclitaxel (125 mg/m2) on days 1 and 15, and gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28- day cycle (every 4 weeks). Treatment will discontinue if disease progression or intolerable toxicity is observed, if the patient withdraws from the study, or at the physician's discretion. Dose reduction of the chemotherapeutic agent and/or delay of administration is allowed if serious treatment-related AEs occur, according to specified guideline in study protocol (Level 1: 100% -\> 80%; Level 2: 80% -\> 60%). If dose reduction is needed more than Level 2, the patient will be dropped from the trial.
