e16760 Background: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma represents the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. A majority of patients have locally advanced or metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. For many years, gemcitabine monotherapy was the standard of care for advanced disease, until recent studies demonstrated survival benefits for FOLFIRINOX (5-FU, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin) and Gem/nab-P (gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel). In this study, we evaluated the clinical outcomes in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma in a single health system before and after the incorporation of these newer treatments into practice. Methods: A retrospective study of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients diagnosed between January 2009 to December 2018 with follow up until December 2019. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Univariate and multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to explore predictors of survival. Results: 394 patients were diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma at Sanford Health hospitals during the study period. There was no statistically significant difference in OS between the cohort diagnosed between 2009-2013 compared to 2014-2018, with median OS of 4.7 and 3.6 months respectively; in those receiving at least one line of chemotherapy, the median OS was 6.7 and 7.3 months. While subgroup analysis of all study population based on the type of first-line chemotherapy showed improved survival with FOLFIRINOX and Gem/nabP as compared to gemcitabine monotherapy [10.7, 6.9, 4 months respectively] (Wilcoxon Test of Homogeneity of Survival Curves p = 0.0002). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis of all study data revealed that at the time of the diagnosis, age (HR: 1.021, p = 0.0013), ECOG performance status > 1 (HR: 3.47, p = 0.0001), serum albumin (HR: 0.708, p = 0.0002), Neutrophil-to-Lymphocytes ratio (HR: 1.076, p≤0.0001) and platelets-to-lymphocyte ratio (HR: 0.998, p = 0.0031) were predictors of survival. Conclusions: Although newer treatments appear to offer improved survival for eligible patients, overall outcomes for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma in this cohort were similar before and after the incorporation of newer treatment regimens. Further advances in the treatment and early detection of pancreatic cancer are needed to improve clinical outcomes.
