PASS-01: Gemcitabine/Nab‑Paclitaxel Shows an Overall Survival Edge Over Modified FOLFIRINOX in First‑Line Metastatic PDAC — Biomarker Correlatives Underscore Need to Move Precision Upstream

In the randomized phase II PASS‑01 trial of first‑line metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), progression‑free survival was similar between modified FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine/nab‑paclitaxel, but overall survival and safety trends favored gemcitabine/nab‑paclitaxel. Molecular profiling and organoid work were feasible but second‑line, correlate‑guided therapy showed limited benefit.

Preoperative PAXG Improves Event‑Free Survival over mFOLFIRINOX in Resectable and Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer: First Randomisation Results from PACT‑21 CASSANDRA

In the multicentre phase 3 PACT‑21 CASSANDRA trial, preoperative PAXG significantly prolonged event‑free survival versus mFOLFIRINOX in resectable and borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, with comparable high‑grade toxicity and overall tolerability.
