• Adjuvant Gem has been evaluated in multiple phase III trials1,2

• Adjuvant 5-FU/leucovorin is equally effective, but more toxic

a Gem was administered for only three 28-day cycles in the JSAP-02 trial vs six 28-day cycles in CONKO-001 and ESPAC-3.b Although they had similar efficacy, Gem had fewer treatment-related serious toxicities (7.5% vs 14%) than 5-FU.5-FU, 5-fluorouracil; DFS, disease-free survival; Gem, gemcitabine; HR, hazard ratio; nab-P, nab-paclitaxel; NCCN, National Comprehensive Cancer Network; Obs, observation; OS, overall survival; PC, pancreatic cancer. 1.

ABI-007-PANC-003 (APACT): Phase III Trial of nab-P + Gem vs Gem as Adjuvant PC TreatmentStatistical Design1,2

• Assumption based on 2 previous phase III trials: Gem will result in a median DFS of 14 months1,3,4

• The estimated enrollment of this trial is 800 patients1,2

– If nab-P + Gem results in a median DFS of 19 months, this would represent an HR of 0.74

– At least 489 DFS events from 800 patients would allow 90% power to detect the HR of 0.74 at a 2-sided significance level of 0.05
