Conclusions from MPACT MPACT study – a large, multi-center, international study performed at community and academic centers OS, PFS, and ORR were superior for nab-P + Gem vs Gem Improvement in OS across the entire curve, including median, 1-year, and 2-year survival rates Metabolic response rate by PET and CA19-9 response rates were higher for nab-P + Gem vs Gem alone Both were predictors for longer OS Von Hoff et al., ASCO 2013 16
Conclusions from MPACT (cont) Serious life threatening toxicity not increased; AEs acceptable and manageable 5. nab-P + Gem, a new standard for the treatment of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, is superior to Gem alone and could become the backbone for new regimens A phase III study of nab-P + Gem in the adjuvant setting is currently in development Von Hoff et al., ASCO 2013 17
