PRIMUS 001 - An adaptive phase II study of FOLFOX-A (FOLFOX and nab-paclitaxel) versus AG (nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine) in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, with integrated biomarker evaluation

1 Patient has been enrolled in the Precision Panc Master Protocol and their tissue has been deemed suitable for NGS analysis 2 Patient has provided signed information consent for the PRIMUS 001 study 3 Age ≥ 16 years 4 Histologically-confirmed metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and its varients, with measurable metastatic lesion(s) according to RECIST 1.1. 5 Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-1 with life expectation of no less than 12 weeks. 6 Patients must have received no previous chemotherapy or investigational therapy for the treatment of metastatic disease. Prior treatment with a fluoropyrimidine and/or gemcitabine administered in the adjuvant setting is allowed, provided at least 6 months have elapsed since completion of the last dose and no ongoing toxicities are present. 7 Adequate liver/bone marrow function as defined by: a. Neutrophils (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/l b. Platelets ≥ 100 x 109/l c. Haemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL d. WBC ≥ 3 x 109/l e. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional ULN unless bilirubin rise is due to Gilbert’s syndrome f. Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN (and < 5 ULN in the presence of liver metastases) g. Estimated creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min (as calculated by Cockcroft and Gault or Wright formula or measured by EDTA clearance) NHS R&D Form IRAS Version 5.5.1 10 221370/1121060/14/694 8 Negative serum Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) test for females with child bearing potential. Postmenopausal women must have been amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential 9 Woman of child bearing potential, and men with female partners of child bearing potential, must agree to use adequate contraceptive measures (see section 8.1.8.1) for the duration of the study and for up to 6 months after the completion of study treatment. 10 Compliant, and can be followed up regularly The following additional inclusion criteria is ONLY required if recommended by the independent Data Monitoring Committee after interim review of study data (sites will have been informed by the CRUK CTU if this is the case) 11 Patient must be biomarker positive as fed back after central Precision-PANC diagnostic testing
