Background: FOLFIRINOX improves survival in advanced pancreatic cancer, however the contribution of irinotecan is uncertain. The addition of irinotecan to gemcitabine was not superior to gemcitabine alone in pancreatic cancer, however nab-P demonstrates a survival benefit. This phase I study was designed to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the addition of nab-P to fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin (FOLFOX-A). Methods: Patients with metastatic or locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma without prior treatment received oxaliplatin, 85 mg/m2, leucovorin 400 mg/m2 and 5-FU 2400 mg/m2 with 3 dose levels of nab-P (125, 150 and 175 mg/m2) every 2 weeks. Pegfilgrastim was required during the first 2 cycles. Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were defined in the first 2 cycles of treatment. Results: Fifteen patients were entered: Dose level 1 (n=6), dose level 2 (N=6), dose level 3 (N=3). The median age was 64 (35-81). Ten patients had metastatic and 5 had locally advanced disease. DLTs of nausea and fatigue occurred in 2 of 3 patients at dose level 3. Two patients developed grade 3 neuropathy after >= 10 cycles of treatment. One patient had grade 3/4 neutropenia. Eight of fifteen patients (53%) had a partial response. Conclusions: The MTD of nab-P is 150mg/m2 every 2 weeks with FOLFOX. Cumulative peripheral neuropathy, similar to other FOLFOX regimens, is the most significant toxicity generally occurring after >= 10 cycles of treatment. FOLFOX-A has substantial activity and may represent a promising regimen in pancreatic cancer. Patients are currently being accrued to an expansion phase utilizing dose level 2. Supported by the Davis and Browning families and LIFEcycle. Clinical trial information: NCT01744353.
