after completion of gemcitabine;

- Neoadjuvant chemotherapy if relapse occurred at least 6 months after surgical
resection;

- Adjuvant chemotherapy if relapse occurred at least 6 months after completion of
adjuvant chemotherapy

- Measurable disease (at least one target lesion outside of previous radiation fields)
or non-measurable disease by RECIST v.1.1 criteria

- Documentation of disease progression since any prior therapy

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.

- Life expectancy of at least 3 month

- Acceptable liver, renal function and acceptable hematological status
