A panelist discusses how this is an exciting time for pancreatic cancer treatment with the development of RAS inhibitors targeting KRAS mutations (present in approximately 90% of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, including G12D, G12V, and G12C variants), which have shown impressive response rates in later-line settings and are being evaluated in frontline trials, before concluding the Targeted Oncology discussion on the metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma treatment landscape.

Panelist discusses how NALIRIFOX (liposomal irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin) represents a reasonable treatment option for patients with excellent performance status and locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, requiring close monitoring and proactive toxicity management to maximize outcomes.

Panelist discusses how post hoc analyses of the NAPOLI-3 trial revealed that dose reductions for toxicity management do not adversely affect overall survival and that UGT1A1 mutations do not significantly impact treatment tolerability with nanoliposomal irinotecan.

A panelist discusses how proactive adverse event management is crucial for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, including using every-2-week scheduling and primary granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) support to reduce myelosuppression, providing extensive patient counseling about diet, hydration, and early antidiarrheal use for liposomal irinotecan-related diarrhea, and closely monitoring for cumulative neuropathy with consideration of oxaliplatin discontinuation by 3 to 4 months if responding to prevent limitations on future therapy options.

A panelist discusses how treating metastatic pancreatic cancer requires a multidisciplinary approach with early palliative care and dietitian involvement, emphasizing that for patients with good performance status, 3-drug regimens like NALIRIFOX or modified FOLFIRINOX can provide clinical responses and quality-of-life improvements even in high disease burden cases, whereas frail patients benefit from gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel administered every 2 weeks, and notes that age alone should not exclude patients from 3-drug regimens as the NAPOLI-3 trial included patients aged up to 85 years.
