4170 Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy with mFFX is the standard for pts with ECOG 0-1 (1) after pancreatectomy for resectable PC. Herein, we report long-term survival data on an expanded cohort and present comprehensive genomic analyses. Methods: Pts with resected PC who received >1 dose of adjuvant mFFX identified from institutional databases. Primary endpoints: Recurrence Free Survival (mRFS) and Overall Survival (mOS) calculated from start of treatment until recurrence or death. Key secondary endpoints: clinical factors, genomic descriptors ( KRAS status, whole genome doubling (WGD), and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD)) associated with outcome. Kaplan-Meier method used to estimate RFS and OS. Univariate Cox proportional hazards model correlated clinico-genomic characteristics with RFS and OS. Results: N=147 identified between 01/2015-01/2022. Median age: 67 years; N= 22 (15%) > 75 years. Several prognostically unfavorable groups; N=52 (36%) stage III disease/ N2 nodal status; N=115 (78%) lymphovascular invasion (LVI); N=133 (90%) perineural invasion (PNI). Median time from surgery to start mFFX: 1.78m (IQR; 1.45, 2.12). Median CA 19-9 at start mFFX: 21 (range 0-1,124). N=124 (84%) pts completed 12 doses mFFX (+/- 12 doses oxaliplatin). N=98 pts (67%) stopped oxaliplatin early for neuropathy. With the median follow up 35.1m (range 5.1, 73.0), mRFS 27m (95% CI 20, 39) and OS not reached (NR). For >75 cohort, mRFS 12m (95% CI 9.6, NR) and mOS 30m (95% CI 19, NR). mFFX started <8 weeks from resection associated with improved RFS (HR 0.62; 95% CI 0.41, 0.96; p= 0.033) and OS (HR 0.53; 95% CI 0.3, 0.94; p= 0.030). T3 tumors associated with worse RFS (HR 2.82, 95% CI 1.28, 6.20; p=0.010) and OS (HR 5.10, 95% CI 1.45, 18; p=0.011). Genomic variables summarized (Table). KRASmutation (+), WGD (+), and higher KRAS CNV trended to shorter RFS and OS; statistical significance limited by small subgroups. HRD status did not confer differences in OS. Conclusions: Adjuvant mFFX is an effective therapy and results in long-term OS outcome in resected PC in a non-trial setting, including for pts >75 years. Early initiation of adjuvant mFFX may optimize outcome. Trends observed for improved outcome in select genomic subsets, which require large-scale validation. 1. Conroy, JAMA Onc, 2022.
