Résumé

Neoadjuvant treatment has shown promising results in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The potential benefits of neoadjuvant treatment on long-term overall survival in patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma have not yet been established. The aim of this study was to compare long-term overall survival of patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma based on whether they received neoadjuvant treatment or underwent upfront surgery. A systematic review including randomized clinical trials on the overall survival outcomes between neoadjuvant treatment and upfront surgery in patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma was conducted up to 1 August 2023 from PubMed, MEDLINE and Web of Science databases. Patient-level survival data was extracted and reconstructed from available Kaplan-Meier curves. A frequentist one-stage meta-analysis was employed, using Cox-based models and a non-parametric method (restricted mean survival time), to assess the difference in overall survival between groups. A Bayesian meta-analysis was also conducted. Five randomized clinical trials comprising 625 patients were included. Among patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, neoadjuvant treatment was not significantly associated with a reduction in the hazard of death compared with upfront surgery (shared frailty HR 0.88, 95% c.i. 0.72 to 1.08, P = 0.223); this result was consistent in the non-parametric restricted mean survival time model (+2.41 months, 95% c.i. -1.22 to 6.04, P < 0.194), in the sensitivity analysis that excluded randomized clinical trials with a high risk of bias (shared frailty HR 0.91 (95% c.i. 0.72 to 1.15; P = 0.424)) and in the Bayesian analysis with a posterior shared frailty HR of 0.86 (95% c.i. 0.70 to 1.05). Neoadjuvant treatment does not demonstrate a survival advantage over upfront surgery for patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Neoadjuvant treatment has shown promising results in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The potential benefits of neoadjuvant treatment on long-term overall survival in patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma have not yet been established. The aim of this study was to compare long-term overall survival of patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma based on whether they received neoadjuvant treatment or underwent upfront surgery.
METHODS METHODS
A systematic review including randomized clinical trials on the overall survival outcomes between neoadjuvant treatment and upfront surgery in patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma was conducted up to 1 August 2023 from PubMed, MEDLINE and Web of Science databases. Patient-level survival data was extracted and reconstructed from available Kaplan-Meier curves. A frequentist one-stage meta-analysis was employed, using Cox-based models and a non-parametric method (restricted mean survival time), to assess the difference in overall survival between groups. A Bayesian meta-analysis was also conducted.
RESULTS RESULTS
Five randomized clinical trials comprising 625 patients were included. Among patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, neoadjuvant treatment was not significantly associated with a reduction in the hazard of death compared with upfront surgery (shared frailty HR 0.88, 95% c.i. 0.72 to 1.08, P = 0.223); this result was consistent in the non-parametric restricted mean survival time model (+2.41 months, 95% c.i. -1.22 to 6.04, P < 0.194), in the sensitivity analysis that excluded randomized clinical trials with a high risk of bias (shared frailty HR 0.91 (95% c.i. 0.72 to 1.15; P = 0.424)) and in the Bayesian analysis with a posterior shared frailty HR of 0.86 (95% c.i. 0.70 to 1.05).
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Neoadjuvant treatment does not demonstrate a survival advantage over upfront surgery for patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
