Brief Summary
The current trial will provide important data on the recurrence rates and patterns of failure using state of the art target agent, chemotherapy and proton beam technology for patients with Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (LAPC). A median survival of 10 months or greater would be considered evidence of a regimen potentially worthy of further study as a new treatment paradigm in one arm in a future phase III trial.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
One-year Survival Rate
Subjects will be followed after treatment completed to determine length of survival rate. The primary study objective was 1-year overall survival (OS, failure: death due to any cause). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the one-year OS. Secondary Objectives were the frequency of serious adverse events, disease control rate and progression-free survival.
One year after treatment completed.
Study Arms (1)
Proton Radiation
EXPERIMENTALPre-Proton-chemotherapy (PCT) Patients will receive a combination of the agents (Gemcitabine plus Erlotinib) for 8 weeks prior to PCT Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 IV, days 1, 8, 15, 29, 36 and 43 Erlotinib 100 mg po qd days 1-43 PCT to be started in 4 to 8 weeks after completion of Pre-PCT Proton therapy: 50.4 Gy/28 fractions (1.8 Gy per fraction) once a day for 5 ½ weeks. Chemotherapy: Capecitabine 825mg/m2 po bid M-F, starting on day 1 of proton therapy until proton therapy completed Post-PCT to be started in 4 to 6 weeks after completion of PCT Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2, day 1 Capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 po bid on days 2 to 15 for 14 days The CapOx regimen (Capecitabine plus Oxaliplatin) is repeated every 3 weeks for 4 cycles
Interventions
Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 iv, days 1, 8, 15, 29, 36 and 43 Erlotinib 100 mg po qd days 1-43 Capecitabine 825mg/m2 po bid M-F, starting on day 1 of proton therapy until proton therapy completed. Post-proton chemotherapy: To be started in 4 to 6 weeks after completion of proton chemotherapy. Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 po bid on days 2 to 15 for 14 days.
