a

According to National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines.

b

Only for patients with borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

c

FOLFIRINOX was administered on a 14-day cycle. Fluorouracil was administered as a 400-mg/m2 bolus on day 1, then as a 2400-mg/m2 continuous infusion for 46 hours. Leucovorin calcium, 400 mg/m2; oxaliplatin, 85 mg/m2; and irinotecan hydrochloride, 180 mg/m2, were administered on day 1. Modified FOLFIRINOX was administered without fluorouracil 400-mg/m2 bolus on day 1.

d

Gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel was administered as nab-paclitaxel infusion, 125 mg/m2, followed by a gemcitabine infusion, 1000 mg/m2, on days 1, 8, and 15 every 4 weeks.

e

GEMOX was administered on a 14-day cycle. Gemcitabine was administered as a 1000-mg/m2 infusion on day 1, followed by an oxaliplatin infusion, 100 mg/m2, on day 2.

f
