Abstract:
Background: The genomes of metastatic pancreatic cancers contain a myriad of intrachromosomal aberrations indicating a likely high prevalence of DNA repair deficiencies indicating sensitivity to DNA damaging agents such as the platinum’s. Because of this, the drug cisplatin was added to an albumin-bound paclitaxel + gemcitabine regimen, which has already been determined to improve survival over gemcitabine alone in a randomized phase III trial (NEJM 2013; 369:1691-1703). Objectives: To determine the efficacy and safety of albumin-bound paclitaxel and gemcitabine plus cisplatin for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer Methods: Eligibility criteria included Stage IV pancreatic cancer, no prior chemotherapy for systemic disease, KPS ≥ 70; life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks and measurable disease. The doses were albumin-bound paclitaxel 125 mg/m2 undiluted, gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 in 500 ml of normal saline (NS), each infused over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8 of a 21 day cycle, along with 3 different dose levels of cisplatin (25, 37.5 or 50 mg/m2) in 500 ml of NS infused over 60 minutes, after the nab-paclitaxel infusion. Pre and post cisplatin hydration was given. Results: To date, 10 patients have been entered on study with all patients being evaluable, (baseline and at least one follow up CT scans completed). There have been 2 complete responses (20%), 6 partial responses (PR), (60%), 1 stable disease (10%), and 1 patient with progressive disease (10%), by RECIST 1.1 criteria. An exponential decrease in CA19-9 correlating with the t1/2 of the marker was noted. Response was seen rapidly with PR observed at the first staging evaluation at 9 weeks in 7 of 10 patients. The 8th patient achieved a PR at 18 weeks. Serious adverse events occurred in 4 patients: non-neutropenic sepsis/pneumonia (n = 1), and non-neutropenic bacteremia (n = 1) in the cisplatin 25 mg/m2 cohort; clostridium difficile colitis (n = 1) with cisplatin 37.5 mg/m2; and neutropenic fever/pneumonia (n = 1) with cisplatin 50mg/m2. Discussion: The study has completed phase Ib and will be expanded at the phase II dose of cisplatin 25 mg/m2 for a total of 25 patients. If this favorable response rate is confirmed, this 3 drug regimen could be further developed both for patients with advanced disease as well as in neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings.
