研究概览
简要总结
This was a quality of life (QOL) study done in the context of a randomized trial in locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Eligible patients were randomized to receive either the combination of nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine or standard gemcitabine monotherapy. The combination regimen of nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine showed improved efficacy with acceptable toxicity in this disease setting in first-line and was approved for this indication. The study design allowed patients in standard treatment to receive the combination treatment after first tumour progression.
The proposed study explored the impact of treatment on the QOL scores and compared the times to definitive deterioration of the QOL scores using the validated EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Efficacy and safety were secondary endpoints and were reported descriptively.
Molecular studies will be performed on blood and tissue samples as avaialble and will be reported separately.

- •History of connective tissue disorders (eg. lupus, scleroderma, arteritis nodosa, etc).
- •History of interstitial lung disease.
- •History of peripheral artery disease.
- •Previous (within 5 years) or concurrent malignancies at other sites with the exception of surgically cured or adequately treated carcinoma in-situ of the cervix and basal cell carcinoma of the skin.
- •Known allergy or any other adverse reaction to any of the drugs or to any related compound.
- •Use of Coumadin.
- •Organ allografts requiring immunosuppressive therapy.
- •Pregnancy or breast-feeding.
- •Medical, social or psychological condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would not permit the patient to complete the study or sign meaningful informed consent.

主要结局
Deterioration-free Survival Rate of the QOL Global Health Status at 3, 6 and 12 Months (Mos)
时间窗: From date of randomisation to 3, 6 and 12 months respectively
The QOL global health status (GHS) is a functional parameter derived from the EORTC QLQ - C30 questionnaire, based on questions 29 "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" and 30 "How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week?". Transformed scores range from 0 to 100% with higher scores representing better outcomes. The deterioration free survival rate at 3 mos is defined as the Kaplan-Meier estimate of the probability of being alive and free of deterioration of the QOL score at 3 mos. The definitive deterioration of the QOL score is a decrease of at least 10 points (minimal clinical important difference) as compared to baseline, with no further improvement of more than 10 points as compared to the score qualifying the deterioration or with no data after deterioration. Death was also considered as an event if the patient did not experience deterioration before death. Patients without event were censored at the time of last follow-up.
QOL Global Health Status Deterioration-free Median Survival
时间窗: From date of randomisation to end of follow up (max 3 years after database lock when applicable).
The deterioration-free survival is defined as the Kaplan-Meier estimate of median survival time to definitive deterioration of the QOL score or death. See primary outcome 1 for scale description. The definitive deterioration of the QOL score is a decrease of at least 10 points (minimal clinical important difference) as compared to the baseline score, with no further improvement of more than 10 points as compared to the score qualifying the deterioration or with no data after the deterioration was observed. Death was also considered as an event if the patient did not experience deterioration before death. Patients without event were censored at the time of last follow-up.
