Assaf E et al. – The median age of the 27 patients (13 males and 14 females) was 63 years (45–83). All patients had progressive disease after first–line chemotherapy by gemcitabine. A total of 167 cycles were administered, with a median number of 6 cycles (1–29) per patient. These results confirmed the good safety profile and the efficacy of the FOLFIRINOX regimen as second–line treatment of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma(MPA).
