Brief Summary   Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) are the most common tumors of the pancreas and frequently present in an advanced unresectable stage (80-85%). The rates of improvement in survival in pancreatic cancers have been slow compared to the advances seen in other cancers. In metastatic pancreatic cancers, where median overall survival (mOS) is approximately 6-11 months only, palliative chemotherapy with gemcitabine had previously remained the cornerstone of treatment. However, improvements in mOS have been seen with combination regimens. The chemotherapy regimen which has shown the maximum benefits in terms of outcomes is FOLFIRINOX. However, initial studies with this regimen showed significant side effects. This has led clinicians and investigators to evaluate different regimens which are more suitable to patients who are frail and elderly and may not tolerate the FOLFIRINOX regimen. It is unclear whether commonly used combination chemotherapy regimens containing more than one drug are better than using a single drug in terms of disease control and side-effect profile. This study will assess the disease control rate with different chemotherapy regimens (two-drug chemotherapy regimens versus single drug gemcitabine) in pancreatic cancer. All these regimes are part of standard chemotherapy options, and any of these can be used to treat this type of cancer. G8 tool is a well-studied tool which helps in comprehensively evaluating elderly patients and by using it we can identify elderly patients at higher risk of chemotherapy side-effects. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a two-drug chemotherapy regimen is better than singledrug gemcitabine in terms of disease control, in pancreatic cancer in elderly and frail patients selected as per their performance status and G8 scores.
reatment Overview: Post enrolment, patient will be randomized into one of two treatment arms:- I. Arm A (Physician choice multiagent chemotherapy): The treatment regimens allowed in this arm are, 1. Gemcitabine- Nab-Paclitaxel - Given as injections every 28 days on Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15 2. Gemcitabine-Cisplatin - Given as injections on Day 1 and Day 8 every 21 days Treatment will be continued till unacceptable toxicity, death, or consent withdrawal. II. Arm B (Experimental) (weekly gemcitabine): In this arm the patient will receive only single agent chemotherapy – Gemcitabine given as injection on Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15 every 28 days. Patient will be on supportive care and reviewed periodically every 2-3 months as per study or on an emergency basis in case of symptomatic disease worsening. Treatment will be continued till unacceptable toxicity, death, or consent withdrawal. The expected outcomes are to evaluate the difference in survival called as overall survival (OS) at 6 months between the two therapies, Progression free survival (PFS) at 6 months, Response rates, Adverse event rates/rates of side effects and Quality of life scales/measurements
