Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas or pancreatic cancer as we will refer to it here, is a cancer of poor prognosis with a high mortality, particularly in the advanced or metastatic setting. Until 2011 and the Phase III results of FOLFIRINOX, standard treatment options were limited to gemcitabine. Combination therapy had shown either a lack of or very limited improvement versus monotherapy with gemcitabine. With the positive results of the MPACT study in 2013 showing improved survival with nab…
