Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 287431 0
In the feasibility study, the primary objective is to determine the technical feasibility based on number of patients consented to molecular profiling, number of patients eligible and screened for the trial, number of patients eligible, recruitment, ability to deliver personalised treatment per protocol, safety and the ability to address any potential practical issues that may arise through the conduct of this trial.
Timepoint [1] 287431 0
After 10 patients have been recruited to the study.
Secondary outcome [1] 298131 0
Objective tumour response rate (OTRR) - partial (PR) or complete response (CR)
Timepoint [1] 298131 0
Tumour evaluation will follow the RECIST Version 1.1 guidelines and be used to determine response status (i.e. complete response, partial response, stable disease or progressive disease) at each assessment time point. The OTRR will be calculated by summing the number of patients assessed as having a complete or partial response and dividing this by the total number of patients evaluable for response (according to RECIST Version 1.1). Confirmation of a complete or partial response will be undertaken based on the results of the next scan performed (i.e. no additional scans to those presented in the Schedule of Assessments are required).
Secondary outcome [2] 298132 0
Overall survival (OS) (death from any cause)
Timepoint [2] 298132 0
Overall survival time is defined as the time from the date of registration to the date of death due to any cause. Overall survival time will be censored at the date of the last follow-up visit for patients who are still alive.
Secondary outcome [3] 298133 0
Safety (rates of adverse events)
Timepoint [3] 298133 0
The NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0 (NCI CTCAE) will be used to classify and grade the intensity of adverse events after each treatment cycle.
Secondary outcome [4] 298134 0
Quality of life (QoL)(scores from patient-completed questionnaires)
Timepoint [4] 298134 0
Health-related Quality of Life assessment will be performed at baseline, then 4 weekly until disease progression.
The core EORTC QoL Questionnaire, QLQ-C30, will be used.
Secondary outcome [5] 298143 0
Clinical benefit at 4 months - complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD)
Timepoint [5] 298143 0
Tumour evaluation will follow the RECIST Version 1.1 guidelines and be used to determine response status (i.e. complete response, partial response, stable disease or progressive disease) at each assessment time point. The clinical benefit rate will be calculated by summing the number of patients assessed at 4 months as having a complete response, partial response, or stable disease and dividing this by the total number of patients evaluable for response at 4 months (according to RECIST Version 1.1). Confirmation of a complete or partial response will be undertaken based on the results of the next scan performed (i.e. no additional scans to those presented in the Schedule of Assessments are required).

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Adult males or females 18 years or over with histologically confirmed primary adenocarcinoma of the pancreas who have cytological confirmation of recurrent or metastatic disease
2. Are currently enrolled in APGI and have consented through APGI to notify them if something of significance in regards to their cancer is found.
3. One of the following specified three molecular signatures:
*HER2 positive (HER2/neu over expression) subgroup; assessed using detailed DNA sequencing and RNA expression analysis and confirmed by HER2 ISH testing (using standard gastric cancer protocols).
*Homologous recombinant defects (BRCA1/BRCA2 or PALB2 mutation*) subgroup; assessed using detailed DNA sequencing and confirmed by PCR.
*antiEGFR responsive (KRAS WT or KRAS codon 13 mutation) subgroup; assessed using detailed DNA sequencing and confirmed by PCR (using standard colorectal cancer protocols).
(* While variants of BRCA1, BRCA2 and PALB2 will be detected in the APGI study, only pathological mutations will be included in the homologous recombinant defects phenotype)
4. For HER2 positive patients adequate cardiac function, defined as Left Ventricular Ejection fraction (LVEF) which equals 50% or above the ULN for the institution (whichever is lower). Cardiac function should be assessed within 3 months prior to registration;
5. Have a life expectancy of over 3 months;
6. Performance status of ECOG 0- 2;
7. Patients must have measurable disease (per RECIST 1.1) or evaluable non-measureable disease when lesions below the limits defined for measurable disease by RECIST 1.1. The CT scan should be conducted within 2 weeks of planned treatment commencement.
8. Adequate bone marrow function with platelets which equal or are greater than 100 x 109/L, neutrophils which equal or are greater than 1.5 x 109/L and haemoglobin which equal or are greater than 9.0 g/dL;
9. Adequate renal function (with calculated creatinine clearance greater than 50 ml/min based on the Cockcroft-Gault method, 24hour urine or GFR scan) and serum creatinine which equal or is less than 1.5 x Upper Limit of Normal range (ULN);
10. Adequate hepatic function with serum total bilirubin which equal or are less than 1.5 x upper limit of normal range and ALT/AST which equal or are less than 2.5x upper limit of normal range (or less than 5.0 times ULN with documented liver metastases), alkaline phosphatase which equal or are less than 5x upper limit of normal range, and INR which equal or are less than 1.5;
11. No prior evidence of underlying abnormality in coagulation parameters. Patients who are therapeutically treated with heparin will be allowed to participate provided there are adequate coagulation parameters. Patients who are on warfarin will be allowed to participate provided they are on low molecular weight heparin prior to starting study treatment.
12. Study treatment both planned and able to start within 7 days of registration. If a PICC or portacath is required for treatment, an extra 7 days will be allowed to facilitate this.

Key exclusion criteria
1. Contraindications to any study treatments;
2. Prior systemic treatment for recurrent / metastatic disease except for patients with the HER2 positive or antiEGFR responsive target molecular signature. In patients with these molecular signatures, up to one cycle of standard dose gemcitabine +/- abraxane chemotherapy commenced within 5 weeks prior to registration to the study. (For patients receiving an initial cycle of gemcitabine +/- abraxane, they must be considered still suitable for ongoing chemotherapy at standard doses by their responsible clinician.
3. Patients who have received neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine +/- abraxane, including chemoradiation, following surgical resection of pancreatic cancer and completed treatment within the last 6 months, unless further treatment with gemcitabine or abraxane is appropriate in the opinion of the treating clinician;
4. Untreated brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease. Patients with brain metastases that have been treated, and are asymptomatic, and have been stable for 3 or more months after treatment are allowed. A baseline CT brain or MRI is only required if there is clinical suspicion of central nervous system involvement;
5. History of another malignancy within 5 years prior to registration. Patients with a past history of adequately treated carcinoma-in-situ, basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, curatively treated cervical carcinoma in situ or non-melanomatous carcinoma of the skin or superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder are eligible. Patients with a history of other malignancies are eligible if they have been continuously disease free for at least 5 years after definitive primary treatment;
6. Any significant active infection, including chronic active hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV. Testing for these is not mandatory unless clinically indicated. Patients with known Hepatitis B/C infection will be allowed to participate providing evidence of viral suppression has been documented and the patient remains on appropriate anti-viral therapy;
7. Serious medical or psychiatric conditions that might limit the ability of the patient to comply with the protocol;
8. Pregnancy, lactation, or inadequate contraception. Women must be post menopausal, infertile, or use a reliable means of contraception. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test done within 14 days prior to registration. Men must have been surgically sterilised or use a (double if required) barrier method of contraception.
