Background: Few data are available regarding real-world treatment patterns and outcomes for metastatic PDAC (mPDAC) in Europe. Methods: This retrospective, observational, chart-review study involved medical oncologists and gastroenterologists from France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK. Physicians completed online patient (pt) reports for 20 consecutive pts diagnosed with PDAC between 01 and 10/2016. Here, the analysis is focused on treated pts diagnosed with mPDAC. Reports provided information on general disease and pt characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of metastatic disease. Outcomes included median PFS and OS according to each line of metastatic therapy. In addition, how baseline performance status (PS) and treatment sequence affected OS and PFS were assessed. Results: 304 physicians (France [n=62], Germany [n=60], Italy [n=63], Spain [n=66], UK [n=53]) participated and enrolled 6,000 pts with PAC, of whom 3827 had mPDAC. Of the 3827, 3432 were treated for their metastatic disease. The most common first-line therapies were modified FOLFIRINOX (28.4%), gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel (28.0%), and gemcitabine monotherapy (23.0%), while the most common second-line therapies were gemcitabine monotherapy (25.0%), 5-FU + oxaliplatin (21.8%), and gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel (16.7%). The longest median PFS and OS were obtained when using mFOLFIRINOX as first-line therapy, with gemcitabine-based combinations as second-line therapy. However, pt characteristics were more favorable with FOLFIRINOX compared with the other regimens used in first line. The most common treatment in first line for patients with a worse baseline PS (PS >1) was gemcitabine monotherapy (571 patients [46%]); in addition, having a worse baseline PS was predictive of shorter survival in second line. The most common reason for discontinuation of either line was disease progression. The study showed that the choice of first- and second-line treatment among European physicians is in accordance with current ESMO guidelines; in contrast, the choice of subsequent line was more heterogeneous, according to local practices. Additional data concerning first and second line OS and PFS per treatment regimen will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions: This large real-life study highlights a clear picture of treatment patterns in European real-world clinical practice and outcomes for metastatic PDAC, which may help in more effectively managing such patients in the future. Further univariate and multivariate analysis will complete this first description.
