A Phase 3 interventional study of nab-Paclitaxel and Gemcitabine in Pancreatic Neoplasms, Digestive System Neoplasms and Neoplasms by Site, sponsored by Celgene. Completed at 341 sites in 21 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-06-28.
Sponsored by Celgene · Phase 3, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study is to compare whether there is a delay or prevention of recurrence or death in participants with surgically removed pancreatic cancer who then take nab-Paclitaxel in combination with gemcitabine compared to those who take gemcitabine alone.
ABI-007-PANC-003 is a Phase 3, international, multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled study that will compare the efficacy of nab-paclitaxel in combination with gemcitabine to gemcitabine alone as adjuvant treatment for 6 cycles in patients with surgically resected pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Kaplan Meier Estimate for Disease Free Survival (DFS) According to the Independent Radiological Review Committee
Disease free survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of disease recurrence or death, whichever occurred earlier. Disease recurrence was determined by the independent radiological review of computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Participants who did not have disease recurrence or did not die were censored at the last tumor assessment date with disease-free status or the randomization date if the last tumor assessment with disease-free status was missing. Disease-free status referred to a status that was neither being disease recurrent nor indeterminate or not evaluable. Participants who received new anti-cancer therapy or cancer-related surgery prior to disease recurrence or death were censored at the date of last tumor assessment with disease-free status prior to the start of new anti-cancer therapy or cancer-related surgery or the randomization date.
Time frame: Date of randomization up to data cut off date of 31 December 2018; median DFS follow-up time for censored participants was 22.242 months for nab-Paclitaxel and gemcitabine and 13.832 months for gemcitabine alone
Kaplan Meier Estimate of Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death. Participants who were alive at the end of study or clinical data cut were censored on the last-known-to-be-alive date or the clinical cutoff date, whichever was earlier.
Time frame: From randomization to date of death; median OS follow-up time for censored participants was 77.832 months for nab-Paclitaxel and gemcitabine and 77.799 months for gemcitabine alone
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE's)
TEAEs are defined as any adverse event (AE) that begin or worsen on or after the start of study drug or procedure of the study period through the maximum duration of the period plus 28 days. The severity of AEs was graded based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 4.0 and the scale: Grade 1 = Mild Grade 2 = Moderate Grade 3 = Severe Grade 4 = Life threatening Grade 5 = Death. Relation to study drug was determined by the investigator. A treatment-related TEAE is defined as TEAE which was considered to be related to one or both of the study drugs and reported as 'Suspected' on the case report form. AEs with a missing relationship were treated as 'treatment-related' in data summaries. IP (investigational product) refers to nab-Paclitaxel and/or Gemcitabine. "Related" TEAE refers to relation to study drug (IP).
Time frame: From day 1 of study drug up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug; up to the data cut off date of 31 December 2018 (up to approximately 37 weeks).
The Number of Participants With Clinical Chemistry Laboratory-Detected Abnormalities (Grade 3-4)
The number of participants with grade 3-4 laboratory abnormalities in selected clinically significant parameters. Grades for chemistry parameters were coded using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (Grade 3= severe, Grade 4= life-threatening).
Time frame: From day 1 of study drug up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug, or the treatment discontinuation date, whichever was later (up to approximately 37 weeks).
The study randomized participants at 160 sites in 21 countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, Republic of Korea, Spain, Taiwan, United Kingdom and the US.
