499Background: FOLFIRINOX is an effective reference regimen in the 1st line treatment of advanced PC, despite its high level of toxicity. We report recent data from pts treated with this regimen at Paul Brousse university hospital.

The first 1 to 3 courses were administered without irinotecan if initial serum bilirubin was ≥ 1.5 x upper limit of normal. Oxaliplatin was stopped for severe sensory neuropathy. Initial dose reductions were made according to pt profile (e.g., age, comorbidity) and later due to toxicity. The treatment was continued until surgery or disease progression. Endpoints were time to progression (TTP), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR) and secondary complete resection (R0R1). Results: There were 22 male (59%) and 15 female pts (41%) aged 44 to 81 years (median: 64). They had locally-advanced (18 pts, 49%) and metastatic PC (19 ...
