Abstract
358Background: Treatment options for pts with LAPC are limited and generally similar to those for metastatic PC (mPC). The phase 3 MPACT trial of pts with mPC demonstrated a u003e 3-fold shrinkage of primary tumors with nab-P + G vs G, suggesting the potential of nab-P + G for LAPC treatment. Here, we present interim results on disease control rate (DCR), adverse events (AEs), and quality of life (QoL) from the international phase 2 LAPACT trial. Methods: Pts with treatment-naive unresectable LAPC and ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 received 6 cycles (C) of nab-P 125 mg/m2 + G 1000 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day C. After the initial nab-P + G treatment phase, pts without PD and unacceptable AEs were eligible for investigator’s choice (IC) of continued treatment with nab-P + G, chemoradiation, or surgery. Surgery could occur prior to completing 6 C in the case of a major response. Pt-reported QoL was assessed via EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-PAN26 questionnaires at screening and prior to infusion on day ...
