BACKGROUND: There are no standard third-line treatment options for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). Trametinib in combination with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) or CDK4/6 inhibitors for pancreatic adenocarcinoma showed promising efficacy in preclinical studies. However, the regimens have not been well examined in patients with mPDAC.

METHODS: Patients with mPDAC who received the combination of trametinib and HCQ or CDK4/6 inhibitors as third- or later-line therapy were reviewed. The efficacy and prognosis were further analyzed.

RESULTS: A total of 13 mPDAC patients were enrolled, of whom 8 and 5 patients were treated with trametinib plus HCQ or a CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib or abemaciclib), respectively. All enrolled patients had either KRAS G12D or G12V mutations and had received a median of 3 prior lines of therapy (range, 2-6). The median trametinib treatment duration was 1.4 months. Of the 10 patients with measurable disease, only 1 patient achieved stable disease, and the remaining patients had progressive disease. Moreover, in patients treated with trametinib plus HCQ and a CDK4/6 inhibitor, the median progression-free survival was 2.0 and 2.8 months, respectively, and the median overall survival was 4.2 and 4.7 months, respectively. Moreover, 5 (50%) patients experienced grade 3-4 adverse events in 10 patients with available safety data.

CONCLUSIONS: The combination of trametinib and HCQ or CDK4/6 inhibitors may not be an effective later-line treatment for mPDAC, and the current preliminary findings need to be confirmed by other studies with larger sample sizes.
