  • Description: <jats:p> 383 </jats:p><jats:p> Background: The chemotherapy regimens nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV as well as oxaliplatin plus fluoropyrimidines are used after previous gemcitabine based chemotherapy in the 2<jats:sup>nd</jats:sup> line treatment of metastatic PAC. We aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of these two treatment options. Methods: In this single institutional retrospective cohort analysis all pts with advanced PAC that were treated between 01/2012-08/2018 with nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV or oxaliplatin plus fluoropyrimidines after previous 1<jats:sup>st</jats:sup> line gemcitabine based chemotherapy were analysed for clinical parameters, median progression free survival (mPFS) and overall survival (mOS). Survival analyses were performed by Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Characteristics of pts were well matched (Table). mPFS in pts (n=30) that received nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV in the 2<jats:sup>nd</jats:sup> line treatment after gemcitabine based chemotherapy was 4.49 months while treatment with oxaliplatin plus fluoropyrimidines (n=31) resulted in a mPFS of 3.44 months (p=0.007, HR 0.47, 95% CI 0.27-0.81). Furthermore, pts with a CA 19-9 level &gt;1000 kU/l at the beginning of 2<jats:sup>nd</jats:sup> line treatment had a significantly improved mPFS and mOS, when treated with nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV compared to oxaliplatin plus fluoropyrimidines (mPFS 4.94 months versus 3.44 months, p=0.0186, HR 0.42, 95% CI 0.18-0.98; mOS 9.31 months versus 6.16 months, p=0.0386, HR 0.43, 95% CI 0.18-1.02). Conclusions: The efficacy of nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV in our study is encouraging and outperforms oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in the 2<jats:sup>nd</jats:sup> line treatment setting for PAC pts pretreated with gemcitabine. Prospective randomized trials are urged to validate our observation. [Table: see text] </jats:p>
