Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Locoregional control (Locoregional Response Rate LRR)

    To determine if the addition of SBRT to chemotherapy improves locoregional control;

    Within 12 months of randomisation;

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Safety (NCI CTCAE v5.0)

    Safety Assessment before each cycle of chemotherapy, post chemotherapy treatment, following SBRT and surgery (if applicable) then at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months post-randomisation and 6 monthly during year 2, 3 and 4

  • Surgical morbidity/mortality (Clavien grading system)

    At discharge post-surgery, 30 days and 90 days post surgery, up to 4 years

  • Radiological response rates (RECIST v1.1)

    at baseline. In SBRT arm, post-initial chemotherapy (prior to SBRT). In both arms, 4-6 weeks post completion of initial treatment (prior to surgery), 3 ,6, 9 and 12 monthly during year 2, 3 and 4.

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS) (RECIST v1.1)

    From randomisation to the time of first documented clinical or imaging relapse or date of death from any cause, whichever occurs first; up to 4 years

  • Pathological response rates (College of American Pathology Tumour Regression Grade TRG)

    At SRBT/surgery compared to baseline;

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (3)

  • Exploratory biomarker analysis of blood

    baseline, prior to SBRT (Arm B only), insertion of fiducial markers (Arm B, optional), post initial treatment, at surgery (optional, at selected sites), 6 and12 months post randomisation and at progression, up to 5 years

  • Exploratory biomarker analysis of tissue

    Diagnosis (archival tissue), at time of fiducial insertion (Arm B, optional), surgical resection (for resectable patients) and at time of progression (optional), up to 5 years.

  • ePRO Acceptability

    Baseline, Day 1 of each cycle of chemotherapy, 2 weeks post initial chemotherapy(SBRT arm), 4-6 weeks post initial chemotherapy +/- SBRT, 30 days post end of treatment, at months 3, 6,9 and 12 post randomisation 6 monthly in years 2, 3 and 4.

Also known as: GemCap
Arm AArm B

R0 resection. When the tumour is within the head of the pancreas, a standard Whipple's procedure and level 2/3 dissection with modification to obtain margin clearance will be offered. For lesions in the tail, a standard modular resection will be offered.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Adults, aged between 18-75 years, with histological confirmation of pancreatic adenocarcinoma
  • Any of the following
  • T3 (tumour \>4 cm)
  • Extrapancreatic extension
  • Node positive (stage IIB)
  • Borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, locally advanced pancreatic cancer
  • Measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1
  • ECOG performance status 0-1
  • Adequate renal and haematological function
  • Adequate hepatic function. Defined as bilirubin \<1.5 X ULN (Upper Limit of Normal), AST + ALT \<3.0 X ULN. In patients who have had a recent biliary drainage and whose bilirubin is descending, a value of ≤ 3 X N is acceptable
  • Study treatment planned to start within 14 days of registration
  • Willing and able to comply with all study requirements, including treatment, timing and/or nature of required assessments
  • Signed, written informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Tumour size greater than 70mm
  • Prior abdominal radiotherapy
  • Evidence of metastatic disease on baseline radiologic investigations
  • History of another malignancy within 2 years prior to randomisation, except adequately treated carcinoma-in-situ, basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, or any Stage 1 endometrial carcinoma. Patients with a history of other malignancies are eligible if they have been continuously disease free for at least 2 years after definitive primary treatment
  • Concurrent illness, including severe infection that may jeopardise the ability of the patient to undergo the procedures outlined in this protocol with reasonable safety
  • Neuroendocrine pancreatic carcinoma
  • Life expectancy of less than 3 months
  • Pregnancy, lactation, or inadequate contraception. Women must be post-menopausal, infertile, or use a reliable means of contraception. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test done within 7 days prior to registration. Men must use a reliable means of contraception
  • Serious medical or psychiatric conditions that might limit the ability of the patient to comply with the protocol
