Poster presented at 2013 ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois, May 31 – June 4, 2013 Statistical Methods A prespecified analyses to assess the potential influence of the following prognostic factors on OS and PFS was performed -Age (< 65 and ≥ 65 years) -Sex (male and female) -KPS ( and ) -Pancreatic cancer primary location (head and other) -Peritoneal carcinomatosis (yes and no) -Presence of liver metastases (yes and no) -Presence of pulmonary metastases (yes and no) -Presence of biliary stent at baseline (yes and no) -Previous Whipple procedure (yes and no) -Number of metastatic sites (1, 2, 3, and > 3) -Stage at diagnosis (IV and other) -CA19-9 level (within normal limit, upper limit of normal (ULN) to < 59 ULN, and ≥ 59 ULN) -Geographic region A Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify potential prognostic factors using a step-wise multivariate analysis with a significance level for entry of 0.2 and for stay of 0.1 INTRODUCTION REFERENCES DISCLOSURES MJM: consultant or advisory role and research funding, Celgene Corp.; DDVH: consultant or advisory role, honoraria, and research funding, Celgene Corp.; TJE: Research funding, Celgene Corp.; FPA: research funding, Clinical Research Alliance and Celgene Corp.; EGC: research funding, Celgene Corp.; JRI: nothing to disclose; JKH: nothing to disclose; MYB: research funding, Celgene Corp.; SRH: nothing to disclose; VG: nothing to disclose; CDW: consultant or advisory role and honoraria, Celgene Corp.; WS: consultant or advisory role, honoraria, and research funding, Celgene Corp.; RKR: consultant or advisory role, honoraria, and research funding, Celgene Corp.; JT: Consultant or advisory role and honoraria, Celgene Corp.; DG: Consultant or advisory role and research funding, Celgene Corp.; XW: employment or leadership position and stock ownership, Celgene Corp.; AR: employment or leadership position and stock ownership, Celgene Corp.

Baseline Characteristics Figure 2. OS in the ITT Population In the phase III MPACT trial KPS, presence of liver metastases, age, region, and number of metastatic sites were found to be the most important predictors of survival Baseline CA19-9 was not an independent predictor of OS in the multivariate analysis; however, the effect of treatment on OS remained significant after baseline CA19-9 was added into the model (HR 0.67; P < ) After correcting for known prognostic factors, treatment with nab-P + Gem remained an independent, highly significant predictor of improved survival (HR 0.72: P < ) and disease progression (HR 0.66; P < ) in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer STUDY DESIGN ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors acknowledge the financial support for this study from Celgene Corporation and the production support from MediTech Media, Ltd.

Stepwise Multivariate Analysis for Predictors of OS and PFS A step-wise multivariate analysis for predictors of OS and PFS are shown in Table 2. -After adding known prognostic factors into the model, the effect of treatment on OS (HR 0.72; 95% CI , P < ) and PFS (HR 0.66; 95% CI 0.544, 0.796, P < ) remained significant and favored nab-paclitaxel treatment across the majority of subgroups. Median OS across subgroups is show in Table 3 Table 3. OS in Subgroups Treatment effect on OS was consistent across patient subgroups (Figure 3) Baseline CA19-9 was found to be a predictor of OS by univariate analysis; however, after correcting for the above factors CA19-9 was not an independent predictor of OS in the multivariate analysis The effect of treatment on OS remained significant after baseline CA19-9 was added into the model (HR 0.67; 95% CI , P < ) Copies of this poster obtained through Quick Response (QR) Code are for personal use only and may not be reproduced without permission from ASCO® and the author of this poster
