    Serum MUC5AC Predicts Recurrence in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Patients on Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

    by Ashish Manne, Yonghua Bao, Ankur Sheel, Amir Sara, Upender Manne, Kannan Thanikachalam, Kai He, Ashwini Kumar Esnakula, Ravi Kumar Paluri, Anup Kasi, et al.

    Background: We explored the potential value of serum MUC5AC (sMUC5AC) as a biomarker to guide perioperative management of early-stage pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy (NAT). Methods: We performed enzyme-linked immunoassays using a human MUC5AC kit (NBP2-76703) in serum samples obtained from The Ohio State University biorepository (between January 2010 and June 2021). Univariate (UV) and multivariate (MV) Cox regression models were used to quantify progression-free survival (PFS); clinical and pathological variables were adjusted in the MV models. UV logistic regression analysis was utilized to examine the association of sMUC5AC with pathological features and survival. 2 Results: Overall, 23 samples (19 FOLFIRINOX, 3 gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel, 1 FOLFOX) were available for analysis. The median age was 66 years, and 52% were females. sMUC5AC was associated with a) treatment response, margin status, and residual disease (R0 vs. R1/R2) (all P<0.05); b) PFS on both UV (hazard ratio (HR) of 1.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.07 to 1.82, P=0.01) and MV (HR of 49.2, 95% CI, 4.4 to 1008.3, P=0.002) analyses; and c) PFS in pre-surgery models along with carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) measured on the same day alone (HR of 1.47, 95% CI, 1.06 to 1.93, p=0.04), with CA19-9 on the same day, and NAT regimen (HR of 1.44, 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.93, p=0.01), and with CA19-9 on the same day, NAT regimen, and CA19-9 at diagnosis (HR of 1.52, 95% CI, 1.1 to 2.09, p=0.007). Conclusion: sMUC5AC shows promise to helping to predict outcomes in our preliminary study. Larger prospective studies should validate these findings.
