Led NAPOLI 3, the trial that made NALIRIFOX a first-line option for metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Zev Wainberg was principal investigator of NAPOLI 3, which showed NALIRIFOX (liposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil) improves survival over gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel in metastatic pancreatic cancer, and has led FGFR2b (bemarituzumab) and claudin 18.2 trials in gastric cancer. He co-directs GI oncology at UCLA and runs early-phase GI trials.
One of the most cited trial reports Europe PMC returns for Daraxonrasib in Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, so it is a natural first reading for anyone weighing the idea it is linked from. The record was linked automatically by title and abstract; read the abstract above and the paper itself before relying on any figure.
For fit patients with newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic cancer, a FOLFIRINOX-type regimen is now proven to be better than gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel, settling a long-standing debate. The absolute gain is about two months of median survival, and the regimen is more toxic for the gut. Whether liposomal irinotecan adds anything over conventional irinotecan (standard FOLFIRINOX) has never been tested head-to-head.
