Objectives: The aim of this multicenter retrospective study was to identify the optimal chemotherapeutic regimen for advanced pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC). Methods: Fifty-eight patients with histopathologically confirmed advanced PACC who had received chemotherapy between 1996 and 2013 were enrolled. The clinical characteristics of the patients and the treatment efficacy data were collected from the medical records at 16 Japanese institutions, using standardized data collection instrument. Results: The most commonly selected treatment regimens were gemcitabine-, fluoropyrimidine-, platinum-, and irinotecan-containing regimens. The over-all response rate in the patients who received first-line chemotherapy were 7% and 38%, respectively, and the median overall survival was 13.2 months. When the data for all the treatment lines were aggregated, the response rates to gemcitabine-, fluoropyrimidine-, platinum-, and irinotecan-containing regimens were 7%, 18%, 40%, and 29%, respectively. The overall survival tended to be better in patients who had received a platinum-containing regimen (hazard ratio, 0.50; 95% confidence interval, 0.23–1.11; P = 0.08) or irinotecan-containing regimen (hazard ratio, 0.42; 95% confidence interval, From the *Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Oncology, National Cancer Center Hospital East, Kashiwa; †Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Oncology, National Cancer Center Hospital, Tokyo; ‡Department of Gastroenterology, Aichi Cancer Center Hospital, Nagoya; §Division of Gastrointestinal Oncology, Shizuoka Cancer Center, Shizuoka; ||Department of Internal Medicine, Niigata Cancer Center Hospital, Niigata; ¶Center for Gastroenterology, Teine-Keijinkai Hospital, Sapporo; #Department of Gastroenterology, National Center for Global Health and Medicine, Tokyo; **Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Medical Oncology Division, Kanagawa Cancer Center, Yokohama; ††Department of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology, National Hospital Organization Shikoku Cancer Center, Matsuyama; ‡‡Department of Gastroenterology, Cancer Institute Hospital of Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research, Tokyo; §§Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Oncology, Osaka International Cancer Institute, Osaka; ||||Department of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatology, National Kyushu Cancer Center, Fukuoka; ¶¶Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Okayama; ##Department of Medical Oncology, Kyorin University Faculty of Medicine, Tokyo; ***Department of Gastroenterology, Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University, Chiba; and †††Department of Gastroenterology, Kanazawa University Hospital, Kanazawa, Ishikawa, Japan.
