- Purpose: The LAP07 multicenter randomized study assessed whether chemoradiation therapy increases overall survival versus continuation chemotherapy in patients whose locally advanced pancreatic cancer was controlled after 4 months of induction chemotherapy. This analysis investigated whether failure to adhere to radiation therapy (RT) guidelines influenced survival and toxicity. Methods and Materials: This is a planned analysis of secondary objectives in the framework of a randomized international phase 3 trial. The protocol included detailed written RT guidelines. All participating institutions undertook an initial benchmark case to check adherence to protocol guidelines. Centers with major deviation were not allowed to include patients until they achieved a significant improvement and rigorously followed the guidelines. On-trial RT quality assurance consisted of a central review of treatment plan with dose-volume histograms for each patient. Adherence to guidelines was graded as per protocol (PP), minor deviation (MiD), or major deviation (MaD). Results: Fifty-seven benchmark cases were evaluated, 26% were classified as PP, 60% were MiD, and 14% were MaD. Among the 442 included patients, 133 patients were randomized in the chemoradiation therapy arm, and 117 patients were assessable for RT quality analysis. RT quality was graded as PP in 38.5% of patients, MiD in 43.6% of patients, and MaD in 17.9% of patients. The most frequent protocol violations were dose distribution heterogeneities. Median overall survival was 17 months with PP and MiD versus 13.4 months with MaD (hazard ratio [HR], 1.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.99-2.71; P = .055). There was no difference in terms of progression-free survival (HR, 1.09; 95% CI, 0.66-1.8; P = .72). Patients with MaD had more nausea than patients treated PP or with MiD (P = .0045). Conclusions: MaD was associated with a trend for worst survival. There was no difference in terms of progression-free survival. Because of the low rate of major deviations, their effects on the LAP07 trial results may be negligeable. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

- IMPORTANCE In locally advanced pancreatic cancer, the role of chemoradiotherapy is controversial and the efficacy of erlotinib is unknown.OBJECTIVES To assess whether chemoradiotherapy improves overall survival of patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer controlled after 4 months of gemcitabine-based induction chemotherapy and to assess the effect of erlotinib on survival.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS InLAP07, an international, open-label, phase3randomized trial, 449 patientswere enrolled between 2008and 2011. Follow-up ended in February 2013.INTERVENTIONS In the first randomization, 223 patients received 1000mg/m(2) weekly of gemcitabine alone and 219 patients received 1000mg/m(2) of gemcitabine plus 100mg/d of erlotinib. In the second randomization involving patients with progression-free disease after 4 months, 136 patients received 2 months of the same chemotherapy and 133 underwent chemoradiotherapy (54 Gy plus capecitabine).MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcomewas overall survival from the date of the first randomization. Secondary outcomeswere the effect of erlotinib and quality assurance of radiotherapy on overall survival, progression-free survival of gemcitabine-erlotinib and erlotinib maintenance with gemcitabine alone at the second randomization, and toxic effects.RESULTS A total of 442 of the 449 patients (232 men; median age, 63.3 years) enrolled underwent the first randomization. Of these, 269 underwent the second randomization. Interim analysis was performed when 221 patients died (109 in the chemoradiotherapy group and 112 in the chemotherapy group), reaching the early stopping boundaries for futility. With a median follow-up of 36.7 months, the median overall survival from the date of the first randomization was not significantly different between chemotherapy at 16.5 months (95% CI, 14.5-18.5 months) and chemoradiotherapy at 15.2 months (95% CI, 13.9-17.3 months; hazard ratio [HR], 1.03; 95% CI, 0.79-1.34; P = .83). Median overall survival from the date of the first randomization for the 223 patients receiving gemcitabine was 13.6 months (95% CI, 12.3-15.3 months) and was 11.9 months (95% CI, 10.4-13.5 months) for the 219 patients receiving gemcitabine plus erlotinib (HR, 1.19; 95% CI, 0.97-1.45; P = .09; 188 deaths vs 191 deaths). Chemoradiotherapy was associated with decreased local progression (32% vs 46%, P = .03) and no increase in grade 3 to 4 toxicity, except for nausea.CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this open-label, randomized trial involving patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer with disease controlled after 4 months of induction chemotherapy, there was no significant difference in overall survival with chemoradiotherapy compared with chemotherapy alone and there was no significant difference in overall survival with gemcitabine compared with gemcitabine plus erlotinib used as maintenance therapy.

- Purpose: Baseline neutrophil count may predict overall survival (OS) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). Methods and Materials: The international multicenter randomized LAP07 phase 3 trial has enrolled 442 patients with LAPC. We analyzed the prognostic value of both baseline neutrophilia (neutrophil count >7 g/L) and elevated or increasing neutrophil count as (1) neutrophilia or (2) increased absolute neutrophil count after induction chemotherapy versus baseline for OS, progression-free survival, and local control (LC). A Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess elevated or increasing neutrophil count status by randomly assigned treatment interactions for each endpoint. Results: Among the 442 patients, 47 patients (11%) with baseline neutrophilia had worse OS (median 8.9 vs 13.3 months; P = .01). After induction chemotherapy, among the 235 patients whose blood counts were available, 90 patients (38%) had elevated or increasing neutrophil count associated with poorer OS in univariate (median 14.4 vs 17.9 months; P = .001) and multivariate analysis (P = .004). Elevated or increasing neutrophil count was also predictive of a decreased benefit of chemoradiation therapy on LC. In 126 patients without elevated or increasing neutrophil count, 1-year LC was 80% in the chemoradiation arm versus 54% in the chemotherapy arm (P < .001; interaction test P = .015). Conclusions: In this study, baseline neutrophilia and increased absolute neutrophil count were associated with worse OS in this large series of patients with LAPC. In addition, the counts were an independent prognosis factor and a strong predictive LC biomarker for chemoradiation therapy benefit. An assessment of neutrophils counts can help to improve the selection of patients who might benefit from chemoradiation therapy after induction chemotherapy. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc.

- Background: The management of locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) patients remains controversial. Better discrimination for overall survival (OS) at diagnosis is needed. We address this issue by developing and validating a prognostic nomogram and a score for OS in LAPC (PROLAP).Methods: Analyses were derived from 442 LAPC patients enrolled in the LAP07 trial. The prognostic ability of 30 baseline parameters was evaluated using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Performance assessment and internal validation of the final model were done with Harrell's C-index, calibration plot and bootstrap sample procedures. On the basis of the final model, a prognostic nomogram and a score were developed, and externally validated in 106 consecutive LAPC patients treated in Besanc, on Hospital, France.Results: Age, pain, tumour size, albumin and CA 19-9 were independent prognostic factors for OS. The final model had good calibration, acceptable discrimination (C-index = 0.60) and robust internal validity. The PROLAP score has the potential to delineate three different prognosis groups with median OS of 15.4, 11.7 and 8.5 months (log-rank P<0.0001). The score ability to discriminate OS was externally confirmed in 63 (59%) patients with complete clinical data derived from a data set of 106 consecutive LAPC patients; median OS of 18.3, 14.1 and 7.6 months for the three groups (log-rank P<0.0001).Conclusions: The PROLAP nomogram and score can accurately predict OS before initiation of induction chemotherapy in LAPC-untreated patients. They may help to optimise clinical trials design and might offer the opportunity to define risk-adapted strategies for LAPC management in the future.
