Background: AIO-PK 0104 investigated the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine/erlotinib (G/E) followed by capecitabine (C) vs. C/E followed by G. The present subgroup analysis evaluated the correlation between C-associated skin toxicity and outcome parameters in PC. Methods: Within this multicenter phase III trial, pts with confirmed advanced PC were randomly assigned to 1st-line treatment with either C (2,000 mg/m2/d, d1-14 q d21) plus E (150 mg/d, arm A) or G (1,000 mg/m2 over 30 min weekly x 7, then d1, 8, 15 q d28) plus E (150 mg/d, arm B). A cross-over to either G (arm A) or C (arm B) was performed after treatment failure (e. g. disease progression or unacceptable toxicity). Time to treatment failure after 1st- and 2nd-line therapy (TTF2) was the primary study endpoint. Treatment-related skin toxicity was evaluated separately for each treatment arm/each regimen based on NCI-CTCv2. Results: Of 279 eligible pts, 47 had locally advanced, 232 had metastatic disease and 141 pts received second-line chemotherapy. For the present subgroup analysis data on skin toxicity were available from 255 pts. For the 73 pts (29%) with a HFS (any grade documented at any time during the treatment strategy), TTF2 and OS both were significantly prolonged compared to pts without HFS (7.4 vs 4.0 months, p<0.001 and 9.7 vs 5.5 months, p=0.002, respectively). Considering HFS during 1st-line treatment in 123 pts within the CE arm, these results could be confirmed for the 47 pts (38%) with a documented HFS of any grade (TTF2: 7.6 vs. 3.2 months, p<0.001; OS: 10.2 vs. 4.4 months, p=0.001). In pts receiving 1st-line treatment with G/E (n=132) no difference in outcome was observed for pts with (n=13) or without (n=119) HFS of any grade (TTF2: 5.7 vs. 4.2 months, p=0.375; OS: 8.4 vs. 6.6 months, p=0.505). Conclusions: The current subgroup analysis of AIO-PK0104 supports the assumption of a correlation between HFS in PC pts treated with capecitabine or capecitabine/erlotinib and efficacy endpoints like TTF2 and OS. A capecitabin-associated HFS thus might be predictive for efficacy in patients with advanced PC.
