Health-related quality of life and performance status with NALIRIFOX versus nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine in treatment-naive patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: results from the NAPOLI 3 trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In NAPOLI 3 (NCT04083235), first-line (1L) liposomal irinotecan plus 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin plus oxaliplatin (NALIRIFOX) demonstrated statistically significant improvements in overall survival and progression-free survival compared with gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (Gem + NabP) in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). In this exploratory analysis, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and performance status (PS) outcomes from NAPOLI 3 were evaluated.

Materials and methods

HRQoL was assessed at baseline, day 1 of each treatment cycle, and at end of treatment (EoT) using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life core questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30). Analyses included patients who provided baselin
