Why this branch was chosen
Triggers from the patient profile that fired and drove the chosen branch.
Step 3 → branch IND-PDAC-METASTATIC-1L-FOLFIRINOX
- RF-FITNESS-ECOG-FIT: Fit performance status (ECOG 0-1): patient is fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out light work. Eligible for full-dose chemotherapy and intensive regimens (CHOEP, BEACOPP-escalated, HD-MTX, ASCT consolidation, CAR-T).
SRC-NCCN-BCELL-2025SRC-ESMO-DLBCL-2024
- RF-PDAC-FIT-FOR-FOLFIRINOX ★ winner: Fitness for FOLFIRINOX in metastatic PDAC per PRODIGE-4 / ACCORD-11 inclusion criteria (Conroy NEJM 2011): ECOG 0-1, age ≤75 (≤76 by protocol; convention <=70-75 in real-world), bilirubin ≤1.5× ULN (resolved post-biliary stenting if needed), no significant cardiac comorbidity, adequate hepatic / renal / bone-marrow function. Selects IND-PDAC-METASTATIC-1L-FOLFIRINOX over IND-PDAC-METASTATIC-1L-GEM-NAB-PAC (mOS 11.1 vs 6.8 mo in PRODIGE-4; toxicity tradeoff acceptable in fit patients). Frail / ECOG ≥2 / bilirubin elevated → de-escalate to gem-nab-paclitaxel (MPACT, Von Hoff NEJM 2013).

Red flags — PRO / CONTRA aggressive
PRO-AGGRESSIVE
Triggers that push toward the aggressive track
- Obstructive jaundice / cholangitis in PDAC: total bilirubin ≥3 mg/dL with pancreatic-head mass causing biliary tree dilation, OR active cholangitis (fever + RUQ pain + jaundice). Mandates biliary drainage (ERCP-stent or PTC) BEFORE chemo, which is hepatotoxic and reduces clearance of cytotoxics.
RF-PDAC-BILIARY-OBSTRUCTION-CHOLANGITIS
- Frailty profile precluding FOLFIRINOX in PDAC: ECOG ≥2, OR (age ≥75 + Charlson ≥3), OR composite (age ≥70 + albumin <3.0 + cachexia ≥10% weight loss). Triggers gem-nab-pac (better-tolerated alternative) OR gemcitabine monotherapy OR best supportive care.
RF-PDAC-FRAILTY-AGE
- Infection-screening gate before PDAC FOLFIRINOX / gem-nab-pac: HBsAg+ / anti-HBc+ (HBV reactivation on dexamethasone-containing regimens), HIV+, OR active cholangitis (post-stent infectious complication — common given biliary instrumentation in head-of-pancreas tumors).
RF-PDAC-INFECTION-SCREENING
CONTRA-AGGRESSIVE
Hard contraindications to escalation
What NOT to do
Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Standard plan (IND-PDAC-METASTATIC-1L-FOLFIRINOX)
- Do NOT initiate without resolved jaundice (bilirubin <1.5-2 ULN) — irinotecan hepatotoxic
- Do NOT use in PS ≥2 — substantial Grade 3-4 toxicity
- Do NOT skip UGT1A1 testing for high-risk populations (preventable severe diarrhea + neutropenia)
Standard plan (IND-PDAC-METASTATIC-1L-NALIRIFOX)
- Do NOT initiate without resolved jaundice (bilirubin <1.5-2× ULN) — liposomal irinotecan hepatically metabolized
- Do NOT use in PS ≥2 — NAPOLI-3 enrolled only ECOG 0-1; for ECOG 1-2 / older / borderline-fit use gem-nab-pac
- Do NOT skip UGT1A1 testing for high-risk populations — *28/*28 homozygotes need starting-dose reduction (40 mg/m² free base) to prevent severe diarrhea + neutropenia
- Do NOT skip late-diarrhea loperamide prophylaxis education — Grade 3-4 ~20% (higher than gem-nab-pac); patient must have loperamide at home and know the schedule
- Do NOT start without vascular access (PICC or port) for 46-h continuous-infusion 5-FU
- Do NOT confuse liposomal irinotecan with conventional irinotecan — different pharmacokinetics, dosing, and approved indications; ONIVYDE and Camptosar are not interchangeable
Standard plan (IND-PDAC-METASTATIC-1L-GEM-NAB-PAC)
- Do NOT use without addressing biliary obstruction first
- Do NOT continue past Grade 2 functional neuropathy without dose reduction
Aggressive plan (IND-PDAC-MAINTENANCE-OLAPARIB-BRCA)
- Do NOT start without confirmed CR/PR/SD to platinum-induction
- Do NOT skip pre-treatment counseling on long-term MDS/AML risk
- Do NOT use in tumor-only-BRCA without germline confirmation (POLO inclusion was germline)
