Clinical Trial 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.


Clinical Trial Description

Gemcitabine-based combination therapy have been used to prolong survival for patient with pancreatic cancer. In early 2010s, gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP) combination regimen have been introduced based on the results of randomized phase III clinical trial that showed survival benefit than gemcitabine monotherapy. Nab-paclitaxel is a nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel that showed anti-tumor activity as well as synergistic effect in combination with gemcitabine.

In the Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Clinical Trial (MPACT), the maximal tolerated nab-paclitaxel dose (125 mg/m2) was administrated with 1000 mg/m2 of gemcitabine, on days 1, 8 and 15 for 4 weeks cycle. This combination therapy showed favorable treatment response, but notable severe adverse events were also reported. Grade 3 or higher neuropathy and neutropenia occurred in 17% and 38% of patients, respectively. Also, dose reduction was required in approximately half of the patients.

Recently, a retrospective study reported the efficacy and safety of modified 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. ;
