About this trial

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of sequential treatment (Gabrinox) comprising Gembrax regimen (Gemcitabine -Abraxane) followed by the Folfirinox regimen (5FU, Oxaliplatin and Irinotecan) compared to folfirinox alone in patients treated in first metastatic line pancreatic cancer

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male or female aged 18 to 75 on the date the consent is signed.

Histologically or cytologically proven metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The definitive diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma metastases will be made by integrating the histopathological data in the context of the radiological data.

One or more metastatic lesion (s) measurable (Recist 1.1) by Thoraco-Abdomino-Pelvic scanner (or hepatic MRI and Thoraco-Abdomino-Pelvic scanner not injected, if the patient is allergic to the product of contrast).

Previous treatment (including radiochemotherapy) for the non-metastatic disease authorized if a delay ≥ 6 months between the last treatment and the recurrence is respected.

Disqualifiers

Known brain metastasis.

Previous treatment with radiotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy or experimental therapy for the treatment of metastatic disease.

Major surgery, other than diagnostic surgery (that is, surgery done to obtain a diagnostic biopsy without organ harvesting), within 4 weeks of day 1 of study treatment.

Known Gilbert's syndrome or homozygous for know UGT1A1 * 28

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Progression-free survival

To compare progression-free survival between the investigational treatment (Arm A) and the standard treatment (Arm B) in patients with metastatic 1st line pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Progression-free survival defined as the time between randomization and the onset of the 1st documented progression or death from any cause. Tumor progression is assessed according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria and by the centralized review.

Time frame
From randomization to disease progression or death, up to 6 month

Secondary outcomes

1

Tolerability of treatments

Adverse events rate assessed according to the NCI-CTC AE V5.0 classification in application

Time frame
From randomization to 30 days after end of treatment, up to 13 month for Arm A and 7 month for Arm B
2

Objective response rate

Objective response rate (best response during treatment) defined as the percentage of complete or partial response. The tumor response is evaluated according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria.

Time frame
From randomization to the best response (complete or partial response) during treatment, up to 6 month
3

Disease control rate

Disease control rate defined as the percentage of complete or partial response or stability. The tumor response is evaluated according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria.

Time frame
From randomization to the complete or partial response or stability, up to 6 month
4

Overall survival

Overall survival defined as the time between randomization and the onset of death regardless of the cause.

Time frame
From randomization to death, up to 2 years
