Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma remains one of the major causes of cancer-related mortality globally. Unfortunately, current prognostic biomarkers are limited, and no predictive biomarkers exist. This study examined promoter hypermethylation of secreted frizzled-related protein 1 (phSFRP1) in cfDNA as a prognostic biomarker and predictor of treatment effect in patients with metastatic FOLFIRINOX-treated PDAC and locally advanced PDAC. Methods: We performed methylation-specific PCR of the SFRP1 genes’ promoter region, based on bisulfite treatment. Survival was assessed as time-to-event data using the pseudo-observation method and analyzed with Kaplan-Meier curves and generalized linear regressions. Results: The study included 52 patients with FOLFIRINOX-treated metastatic PDAC. Patients with unmethylated (um) SFRP1 (n = 29) had a longer median overall survival (15.7 months) than those with phSFRP1 (6.8 months). In crude regression, phSFRP1 was associated with an increased risk of death of 36.9% (95% CI 12.0%–61.7%) and 19.8% (95% CI 1.9–37.6) at 12 and 24-months, respectively. In supplementary regression analysis, interaction terms between SFRP1 methylation status and treatment were significant, indicating reduced benefit of chemotherapy. Forty-four patients with locally advanced PDAC were included. phSFRP1 was associated with an increased risk of death at 24-months Conclusions: This indicates that phSFRP1 is a clinically useful prognostic biomarker in metastatic PDAC and possibly in locally advanced PDAC. Together with existing literature, results could indicate the value of cfDNA-measured phSFRP1 as a predictive biomarker of standard palliative chemotherapy in patients with metastatic PDAC. This could facilitate personalized treatment of patients with metastatic PDAC.
