Introduction • In 1997, single-agent gemcitabine (Gem) became standard treatment for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer 1 • Several preclinical data support the combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin (GemCis) 2,3 • In a randomized trial conducted by GOIM, GemCis significantly improved response rate and time to progression 4 1Burris et al, J Clin Oncol 1997, 15: 2403-13 2Bergman et al, Clin Cancer Res 1996, 2: 521-30 3van Moorsel et al, Br J Cancer 1999, 80: 981-990 4Colucci et al, Cancer 2002, 94: 902-10
Study objective To evaluate the efficacy of a weekly schedule of gemcitabine plus cisplatin compared to standard single-agent gemcitabine, as first-line treatment of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer
Study design Control arm Random Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 1 8 15 22 29 36 43 50 57 64 71 78 1:1 Day Experimental arm • Strata: • Center • KPS (70 vs 80) • Stage (II-III vs IV) Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 1 8 15 22 29 36 43 50 57 64 71 78 Day Cisplatin 25 mg/m2
Study population Inclusion criteria • Cyto/histological diagnosis of pancreatic cancer • Age 18 – 75 • Karnofsky PS 50 • Stage II (unresectable) / III / IV (TNM 1997) • No previous chemotherapy Exclusion criteria • ANC 2000/L, platelets 100000/L, Hgb 10 g/dL • Creatinine UNL, SGOT and SGPT 2.5 x UNL and bilirubin 1.5 x UNL, unless due to liver metastases • Brain metastases
Study endpoints Primary endpoint • Overall survival Secondary endpoints • Progression-free survival • Objective response rate (RECIST) • Clinical benefit (Burris, J Clin Oncol 1997) • Quality of Life (EORTC C30 & PAN26) • Toxicity (NCI – CTC)
Sample size • 2-tailed : 0.05 • Power: 80% • Hazard Ratio: 0.74 • 1-yr survival: 18% 28% • Median survival: 4.8 6.5 months • 2 analyses (1 interim, 1 final) 355 deaths, 400 patients needed
Study conduction • Enrollment: • First patient: April 16, 2002 • Last patient: April 19, 2007 • Total number of randomized patients: 400 • Final analysis: December 2008 • Median follow-up: 38 months
Overall survival Hazard Ratio: 1.10 (0.89 – 1.35) p = 0.38 0 6 12 18 24 30 36 Months
Overall survival: Cox model 1 patient excluded because of missing information for stage
Treatment effect in subgroups Favours GemCis Favours Gem
Progression-free survival Hazard Ratio: 0.97 (0.80 – 1.19) p = 0.80 0 6 12 18 24 30 36 Months
Hematologic toxicity Gem 189 patients; GemCis 186 patients *Chi square or Fisher exact test as appropriate
Non-hematologic toxicity Gem 189 patients; GemCis 186 patients *Chi square or Fisher exact test as appropriate
Clinical benefit response *Chi square test
Quality of life • QoL questionnaires were administered baseline and every 4 weeks in both arms (up to 6 questionnaires) • Changes from baseline after 4 weeks are described here • Global QoL: trend favouring single-agent gemcitabine (p=0.07) • Statistically significant differences: • Social functioning (worse with GemCis, p=0.01) • Hepatic symptoms (better with GemCis, p=0.01) • Limitation in planning (worse with GemCis, p=0.006)
GIP-1 trial: conclusions • The weekly schedule of gemcitabine + cisplatin as 1st line treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer did not prolong overall survival compared to gemcitabine alone • The addition of cisplatin did not produce any improvement in terms of PFS, response rate, clinical benefit or quality of life
