Primary Outcome Measures :
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to death; until the data cut off 17 Sept 2012. The maximum time in follow up was 37 months. ]Overall survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from all causes. Participants who did not die were censored at the last known time the participant was alive. Patient survival was summarized using Kaplan-Meier methods.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Progression-free Survival (PFS) by Independent Radiological Review (IRR) [ Time Frame: Randomization until disease progression or death from any cause; Until the data cut off of 17 Sept 2012. The maximum time in follow up was 37 months. ]Progression-free survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of disease progression, or death (any cause) on or prior to the clinical cutoff date, whichever occurred earlier. Participants who did not have disease progression or had not died were censored at the date of the last tumor assessment, on or prior to the clinical cutoff, and the patient was progression free. If a patient began a new anti-cancer treatment prior to documented disease progression (or death), the patient was censored at the date of last assessment when the patient was documented as progression free prior to the intervention. Patients with two or more consecutive missing response assessments prior to a visit with documented progression (or death) were censored at the last date of tumor assessment when the patient was documented to be progression free. PFS was summarized using Kaplan-Meier methods.
- Percentage of Participants Who Achieved an Objective Confirmed Overall Response by Independent Radiological Review (IRR) [ Time Frame: Assessment every 4 weeks after initial response; Day 1 to data cut off of 17 Sept 2013; maximum time on study 37 months ]Objective tumor response was summarized as the percentage of participants who achieved a confirmed complete (CR) or partial response (PR) based on an independent blinded radiology assessment of response using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines. Using RECIST Version 1.0, participants were to achieve either a complete response (CR) defined as the disappearance of all known disease and no new sites or disease related symptoms confirmed at least 4 weeks after initial documentation or partial response (PR) defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions and no progression in non-target lesions based on confirmed responses from the investigator assessment of best overall response during study treatment.
Other Outcome Measures:
- Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AE) [ Time Frame: Study drug initiation through 30 days after the last dose of study drug or EOS, whichever is later; Up to 696 days ]A Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) is as any AE occurring or worsening on or after the first treatment of any study drug, and within 30 days after the last dose of the last study drug. Severity grades according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0 (CTCAE) on a 1-5 scale: Grade 1= Mild AE, Grade 2= Moderate AE, Grade 3= Severe AE, Grade 4= Life-threatening or disabling AE, Grade 5=Death related to AE.
- Number of Participants With Dose Reductions [ Time Frame: Maximum time on treatment was 666 days ]The number of participants with dose reductions occurring during the treatment period. Dose reductions are typically caused by clinically significant laboratory abnormalities and /or treatment emergent adverse events/toxicities.
- Number of Participants With Dose Interruptions [ Time Frame: Maximum time on treatment was 666 days ]The number of participants with dose interruptions experienced by participants that occurred during the treatment period. Dose interruptions are typically caused by clinically significant laboratory abnormalities and /or treatment emergent adverse events/toxicities.
- Number of Participants With Dose Delays/Doses Not Given [ Time Frame: Up to 666 days ]The number of dose delays or doses not given experienced by participants during the treatment period. Dose delays are typically caused by clinically significant laboratory abnormalities and /or treatment emergent adverse events/toxicities. Treatment delays of no longer than 21 days allowed participants to recover from acute toxicity, otherwise participants were discontinued from further treatment except in the event of peripheral neuropathy.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
A participant will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if all of the following criteria are met:
- Participant has definitive histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. The definitive diagnosis of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma will be made by integrating the histopathological data within the context of the clinical and radiographic data. Participants with islet cell neoplasms are excluded.
- Initial diagnosis of metastatic disease must have occurred ≤6 weeks prior to randomization in the study.
- Patient has one or more metastatic tumors measurable by Computed Tomography (CT) scan or Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), if patient is allergic to CT contrast media).
-
Male or non-pregnant and non-lactating female, and ≥ 18 years of age. If a female patient is of child-bearing potential, as evidenced by regular menstrual periods, she must have a negative serum pregnancy test Beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (β-hCG) documented 72 hours prior to the first administration of study drug.
If sexually active, the patient must agree to use contraception considered adequate and appropriate by the Investigator during the period of administration of study drug. In addition, male and female patients must utilize contraception after the end of treatment as recommended in the product's Summary of Product Characteristics or Prescribing Information provided in the study manual.
- Patients must have received no previous radiotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy or investigational therapy for the treatment of metastatic disease. Prior treatment with 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) or gemcitabine administered as a radiation sensitizer in the adjuvant setting is allowed, provided at least 6 months have elapsed since completion of the last dose and no lingering toxicities are present. Patients having received cytotoxic doses of gemcitabine or any other chemotherapy in the adjuvant setting are not eligible for this study.
-
Patient has adequate biological parameters as demonstrated by the following blood counts at Baseline (obtained ≤14 days prior to randomization):
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10^9/L; Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm^3 (100 × 10^9/L); Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9 g/dL.
-
Patient has the following blood chemistry levels at Baseline (obtained ≤14 days prior to randomization):
Aspartate Transaminase (AST), Serum Glutamic-Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT), Alanine Transaminase ( ALT) Serum Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal range (ULN), unless liver metastases are clearly present, then ≤ 5 × ULN is allowed Total bilirubin ≤ ULN Serum creatinine within normal limits or calculated clearance ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for patients with serum creatinine levels above or below the institutional normal value. If using creatinine clearance, actual body weight should be used for calculating creatinine clearance (e.g., using the Cockroft-Gault formula). For patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) >30 kg/m^2, lean body weight should be used instead.
- Patient has acceptable coagulation studies (obtained ≤14 days prior to randomization) as demonstrated by prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) within normal limits (± 15%).
- Patient has no clinically significant abnormalities in urinalysis results (obtained ≤14 days prior to randomization).

- Patients should be asymptomatic for jaundice prior to Day 1. Significant or symptomatic amounts of ascites should be drained prior to Day 1. Pain symptoms should be stable and should not require modifications in analgesic management prior to Day 1.
- Patient has been informed about the nature of the study, and has agreed to participate in the study, and signed the Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior to participation in any study-related activities.
