A new approach that aims to destroy pancreatic tumor cells through modification of the tumor environment. Asparagine synthetase (ASNS) is an enzyme wich synthetise asparagine. Asparagine is an essential nutriment for pancreatic cancer cells which have no or low level of ASNS. by L-asparaginase encapsulated in erythrocytes deplete (supress) Plasma asparagine. in selected patients having no or low ASNS, may provide a new therapeutic approach.

Overall survival (OS)
Evaluate the effects of eryaspase when combined with chemotherapy for the second line treatment of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma in terms of OS, whose tumors has low or no ASNS expression (ASNS 0 or 1+)
Time frame: From last study treatment assessment visit until patient's death, loss to follow up, or study closure, assessed up to 36 months.
Progression free survival (PFS)
Evaluate the effects of eryaspase when combined with chemotherapy for the second line treatment of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma in terms of PFS, whose tumors has low or no ASNS expression (ASNS 0 or 1+)
Time frame: From date of randomization to first documented progression of disease, death for any cause or until start of new anti-cancer treatment, whcihever came first, assessed up to 24 months.
Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (Safety and Tolerability)
Compare the safety profile in patients treated with eryaspase in combination with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone, including adverse events, vital signs and clinical laboratory assessments
Time frame: collected from time of informed consent until 4 weeks after last study treatment
Overall survival
Evaluate the effects of eryaspase in combination with chemotherapy on investigator-assessed OS in all randomized patients (all patients) and in patients with ASNS 2+/3+ expressing tumors.
Time frame: From last study treatment assessment visit until patient's death, loss to follow up, or study closure, assessed up to 36 months.
Progression free survival
Evaluate the effects of eryaspase in combination with chemotherapy on investigator-assessed PFS in all randomized patients (all patients) and in patients with ASNS 2+/3+ expressing tumors.

Time frame: From date of randomization to first documented progression of disease, death for any cause or until start of new anti-cancer treatment, whcihever came first, assessed up to 24 months.
Objective response rate (ORR)
Evaluate the effect of eryaspase in combination with chemotherapy on the ORR, and the duration in all comers, patients with ASNS 0/1+ expressing tumors, and those with ASNS 2+/3+ expressing tumors.
Time frame: From date of randomization to last tumor assessment data collected for each patient, assessed up to 24 months.
Disease control rate (DCR)
Evaluate the effect of eryaspase in combination with chemotherapy on the DCR in all comers, patients with ASNS 0/1+ expressing tumors, and those with ASNS 2+/3+ expressing tumors.
Time frame: From date of randomization to 16 and 24 weeks.
Duration of response (DoR)
Evaluate the effect of eryaspase in combination with chemotherapy on the DoR in all comers, patients with ASNS 0/1+ expressing tumors, and those with ASNS 2+/3+ expressing tumors.
Time frame: From date of first response of complete or partial response until tumor progression, assessed up to 24 months.
Evaluate the relationship of clinical outcomes with tumor markers
Evaluate the relationship of clinical outcome (i.e. OS, PFS, ORR, DCR and DoR) with tumor markers, namely cancer antigen (CA19-9), and carcinoembryonic antigen test (CEA).
Time frame: From date of randomiztion to end of treatment visit, assessed up to 20 months.
Optical density reading
Assess the effect of eryaspase in combination with chemotherapy on PFS, OS, ORR, BOR, and other clinical outcomes in ASNS subsets, as determined by optical density reading.
Time frame: From date of randomization to first documented progression of disease, death for any cause or until start of new anti-cancer treatment, whcihever came first, assessed up to 24 months.
Quality of Life status
Compare the 2 treatment arms with respect to change in quality of life status, the change of QOL relative to baseline
Time frame: From date of randomiztion to end of treatment visit, assessed up to 20 months.
