OBJECTIVE: A phase II study was performed to assess the activity of oxaliplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) modulated by leucovorin, as second-line treatment in locally advanced or metastatic pancreas adenocarcinoma pretreated with gemcitabine-containing schedule. METHODS: Patients received weekly intravenous infusions of oxaliplatin 40 mg/m, 5-FU 500 mg/m, and leucovorin 250 mg/m (3 weeks on, 1 week off). RESULTS: Twenty-three patients affected with metastatic (16) or locally advanced (7) pancreas adenocarcinoma were involved in this study. A total of 148 weeks of chemotherapy was delivered (median 2 courses each patient). Among 17 assessable patients, no objective response was registered and 4 patients had stable disease, whereas 13 had tumor progression. Median duration of stable disease was 14 weeks. Median time to progression of disease (TTP) was 11.6 weeks [95% confidence interval (CI), 7.6-5.6]. Kaplan-Meier estimated median overall survival (OS) was 17.1 week (95% CI, 4.0-30.1) and 3 months survival rate was 69.6%. Seven patients experienced grade 3 to 4 toxicity. The regimen was associated with 36% clinical benefit. CONCLUSIONS: The median TTP and median OS in this population with poor prognosis suggests some activity, however, only further investigations will be able to establish the clinical value of this combination.
