458Background: FOLFIRINOX is an active regimen for metastatic pancreatic cancer demonstrating a median overall survival of 11.1 months at the expense of significant treatment-related toxicity. Dose modifications are routinely used in clinical practice however there is little data regarding impact on outcomes and use of second line therapy. In this study we report on the treatment course and outcomes of 92 patients treated at two academic centers. Methods: We conducted an IRB-approved retrospective cohort study of patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with first line FOLFIRINOX between 2011 and 2015. Hazard ratios were calculated by Cox proportional hazard models and median survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. Results: 92 patients were identified with a median follow-up of 13.2 months (range 1.2-47.3 mo); 57 males (62%), ECOG 0/1 = 75 (82%). Fifty-four percent required dose reductions of >25% in at least one of three component drugs within the first 6 cycles [95% CI 0.44, ...
