Discussion

Strengths

• Well designed and

executed prospective

randomized phase III study

• Meaningful margin of

benefit

• “Manageable” toxicity

profile

Limitations

• “Real world” tolerability

• Very select patient

population

• Overall impact to

pancreatic cancer

survival

Practice Changing?

• Yes, confirms role of combination adjuvant therapy

• Yes, for super-fit patients

Key Unanswered Questions

• Impact of dose intensity

• Subsequent treatment at recurrence

• Other combination therapies

– Gem/nab-paclitaxel: APACT study

– Multiple options, no head-to-head, same problem as

metastatic

• Role for radiation

– RTOG 8048
