471Background: Therapy options for advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are finite. NAPOLI-1, a phase III randomized trial, demonstrated the efficacy of N+F following progression on gemcitabine (G) based therapy (mPFS 3.1 mo, mOS 6.1 mo). There are limited additional data on the safety and efficacy of N+F following FDA approval in October 2015. We examined the post approval safety, tolerability and effectiveness of N+F in advanced PDAC patients at MSK. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted of all patients treated with N+F from Feb 2016 and ending in Aug 2017. Using the EMR and institutional database, information was extracted pertaining to demographics, performance status (ECOG), prior therapies, dose, duration of N+F, adverse events, PFS, OS and treatment response per RECIST. Results:N = 56 identified. Demographics: M/F 29/27, age 68 (range 42-88), prior lines of palliative chemotherapy (0/1/2/3/ > 3, 4/20/21/11). Median PFS was 2.9 months and median OS was 5.3 months. There was a sign...
