1. Patients with pancreatic cancer that was histologically or cytologically confirmed to be adenocarcinoma who have unresectable locally advanced (UR-LA) or unresectable metastastic (UR-M) pancreatic cancer according to the General Rules for the Study of Pancreatic Cancer (the 7th edition) at enrollment and are planning to receive initial treatment
2. Patients with measurable disease according to the new Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline version 1.1
3. Patients who are planning to receive nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine as first-line treatment and liposomal irinotecan + 5-FU/LV as second-line treatment
