Results

In patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer undergoing chemotherapy, the addition of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) significantly improved nutritional status. After 3 months, the PERT group showed significantly better outcomes in serum albumin, total protein, and PNI compared to the non-PERT group.These findings suggest the potential benefit of PERT in maintaining nutritional status during pancreatic cancer treatment.

Baseline Characteristics

Participants were patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer receiving initial chemotherapy at Okayama Red Cross Hospital. The PERT group (n=39) had more females; the non-PERT group (n=37) had more males. Age, BMI, PS, tumor site/stage, and markers were similar. FOLFIRINOX was more common in the PERT group, while Gem+nab-PTX dominated in the non-PERT group. Diabetes was more frequent in the non-PERT group, but nutritional status (PNI) was comparable.

Participant flow

A total of 39 patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer were enrolled at Okayama Red Cross Hospital. Three patients dropped out due to loss to follow-up or other reasons, leaving 36 patients for final analysis. Participants were divided into PERT and non-PERT groups for evaluation of primary outcomes.

Adverse events

In this study, no serious adverse events related to pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) were observed. Chemotherapy-related adverse events, such as myelosuppression and gastrointestinal symptoms, occurred at similar rates in both groups. The addition of PERT did not lead to an increase in adverse events.

Outcome measures

The primary outcome measures were changes in body weight and improvement in nutritional status (PNI) following the introduction of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT). Secondary outcomes included overall survival (OS), chemotherapy continuation rate, and changes in tumor markers (CEA, CA19-9).
