Trial Information

Lokal Fortgeschrittenes Pankreas-Karzinom: Stereotaktische Radiotherapie Gefolfgt Von Gemox-Chemotherapie


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the clinical response rate in patients undergoing surgery for locally
advanced pancreatic cancer treated with stereotactic radiotherapy, gemcitabine
hydrochloride, and oxaliplatin.

Secondary

- Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

- Determine the time to disease progression in patients treated with this regimen.

- Determine the time to death in patients treated with this regimen.

- Determine perioperative morbidity and mortality in patients treated with this regimen.

- Determine the rate of R0 resections in patients treated with this regimen.

- Determine the histologic response rate in these patients.

OUTLINE:

- Neoadjuvant therapy: Patients undergo hypofractionated, stereotactic radiotherapy on
days 1-5. Patients also receive gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 100 minutes on day 1
and oxaliplatin IV over 120 minutes on day 2. Treatment with gemcitabine hydrocloride
and oxaliplatin repeats every 2 weeks for 3 courses.

- Surgery: Patients with resectable disease undergo tumor resection. Patients with
unresectable disease undergo a second course of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed
by resection.

- Adjuvant therapy: Beginning 3-4 weeks after surgery, patients receive 3 more courses of
chemotherapy as in neoadjuvant therapy.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for up to 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 29 patients will be accrued for this study.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the pancreas or
intrapancreatic bile duct carcinoma

- Overall view of image morphology and CA19-9 (< 500 U/L) demonstrating pancreatic
cancer allowed if histologic/cytologic confirmation is unavailable

- Locally advanced disease, meeting 1 of the following criteria:

- Uncertain R0 resectability dependant on relation to portal vein, sinus
confluens, superior mesenteric artery, and superior mesenteric vein (e.g.,
contact with portal vein, superior mesenteric vein, or arterial vessels, but <
180° encasement)

- Unresectable pancreatic cancer (e.g., contact with portal vein, superior
mesenteric artery or arterial vessels, > 180° encasement)

- Measurable disease, defined as ≥ 1 unidimensionally measurable lesion ≥ 1 cm by
spiral CT scan or MRI

- Patients with no measurable disease may be assessed for feasibility only

- No distant metastases
