Abstract
390 Background: Chemotherapy related adverse events (AEs) can impact the treatment of patients, reducing quality of life and leading to dose delays and treatment discontinuation. This study examined the proportion of patients (pts) with mPDAC treated with 5-FU-based regimens in the 2L setting who experienced AEs during treatment. Methods: Data were extracted for pts diagnosed with mPDAC who initiated 2L treatment between January 2016 and July 2020 from the Flatiron Health electronic health database. Pts included in the study were treated with FOLFIRINOX (FFX), FOLFOX, FOLFIRI, or a regimen containing liposomal irinotecan. The occurrence of grade 3 (G3) and grade 4 (G4) neutropenia, G3/G4 elevated alanine transaminase (ALT) and anemia where transfusion was indicated were determined using lab results and the grading criteria from the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.03. The occurrence of diarrhea, fatigue, nausea and vomiting (N/V), and neuropathy were identified from structured diagnosis records through ICD-10-CM codes. Duration of therapy (DOT) was assessed for each regimen. Descriptive statistics for AEs and DOT were reported. Results: Of the 804 pts included in the study, 28.4% (n=228) received FFX, 39.8% (n=320) received regimens containing liposomal irinotecan, 24.8% (n=199) received FOLFOX, and 7.1% (n=57) received FOLFIRI. The median DOT (IQR) was 86 days (d) (43 – 206), 79d (41 – 169), 72d (43 – 166), and 84d (46 – 148) for pts who received FFX, liposomal irinotecan, FOLFOX, and FOLFIRI, respectively. G3/G4 neutropenia (<1000/mm3) presented in 28.1% (n=64) of pts treated with FFX, 11.9% (n=38) of pts treated with liposomal irinotecan, 17.1% (n=34) of pts treated with FOLFOX, and 36.8% (n=21) of pts treated with FOLFIRI. NV occurred in 14.9% (n=34), 13.1% (n=42), 12.6% (n=25), and 10.5% (n=6), respectively. The full AE results are summarized in the table. Conclusions: In this assessment of often dose-limiting AEs among pts with mPDAC treated in 2L, pts who received liposomal irinotecan had the lowest proportion of neutropenia. No clear pattern was noted for N/V, neuropathy, fatigue, anemia, and elevated ALT. Further research is necessary to determine the real-world cost implications of AEs in this patient population.
