Study Description

Based on the results of previous studies, the sponsor aims to assess efficacy and safety of this triplet (irinotecan, 5FU/LV and oxaliplatin) in second-line treatment in fit patients (ECOG 0-1) metastatic PDAC.

The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of NALIRINOX (= investigational arm) and NALIRI (= standard care arm) in terms of Progression-Free Survival Rate (PFSR).

As secondary objectives, the following will be evaluated in both arms:

  • Safety/toxicity and tolerability profile according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.

  • Progression free survival (PFS)

  • Overall response rate and duration of response as assessed by imaging (RECIST 1.1) and tumor markers

  • Overall survival (OS)
