ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) have poor prognosis with upfront surgery.METHODS:
This was a single-arm Phase 2 trial for clinical and biomarker analysis. The primary endpoint is 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate. Patients received 8 cycles of neoadjuvant modified (m) FOLFIRINOX. Up to 6 cycles of gemcitabine were given for patients who underwent surgery. Plasma immune cell subsets were measured for analysing correlations with overall survival (OS).RESULTS:
Between May 2016 and March 2018, 44 chemotherapy- and radiotherapy-naïve patients with BRPC were included. With neoadjuvant mFOLFIRINOX, the objective response rate was 34.1%, and curative-intent surgery was done in 27 (61.4%) patients. With a median follow-up duration of 20.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 19.7-21.6 months), the median PFS and OS were 12.2 months (95% CI, 8.9-15.5 months) and 24.7 months (95% CI, 12.6-36.9), respectively. The 1-year PFS rate was 52.3% (95% CI, 37.6-67.0%). Higher CD14+ monocyte (quartile 4 vs 1-3) and lower CD69+ γδ T cell (γδ TCR+/CD69+) levels (quartiles 1-3 vs 4) were significantly associated with poor OS (p = 0.045 and p = 0.043, respectively).CONCLUSIONS:
Neoadjuvant mFOLFIRINOX followed by postoperative gemcitabine were feasible and effective in BRPC patients. Monocyte and γδ T cells may have prognostic implications for patients with pancreatic cancer. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02749136.
