Phase I Time-to-Event Continual Reassessment (TITE-CRM) Dose Escalation Trial of CyberKnife® Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) Boost With Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Patients With Unresectable Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer


Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a minimally invasive treatment technique that
allows for ultra-high doses of radiation to be delivered to small areas with precision not
previously possible using older equipment. The CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery System
(Accuray, Sunnyvale California, USA) is a radiation unit specifically designed to focus
beams of radiation accurately anywhere in the body. It is able to track, detect and correct
for any tumor movement during treatment by using a sophisticated image guidance system.

- Absolute granulocyte count ≥ 1.5 X 10^9 /L

- Absolute lymphocyte count ≥ 0.5 X 10^9 /L

- Platelet count ≥ 100 X 10^9/L

- INR ≤1.5 within 7 days prior to starting study treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosis of metastatic disease

- Clear indication of involvement of duodenal wall on imaging or at time of endoscopy

- Evidence of peritoneal carcinomatosis, portal vein occlusion, ascites or involvement
of non-regional lymph nodes

- Histology clearly other than adenocarcinoma

- Disease cannot be radiographically assessed due to patient related contraindications
or due to lack of visible tumor on pre-treatment imaging

- More than 1 prior chemotherapy regimen for pancreatic cancer or treatment for >6
months

- Prior chemotherapy for other malignancies in past 12 months

- Prior radiotherapy exposure that would overlap the anticipated study treatment fields

- Treatment with any other investigational agent, within 30 days

- Prior chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer is permitted, although there should be 30
days between last dose and start of treatment on protocol

- Past or current history of other malignancies (except non-melanoma skin cancer or
carcinoma in-situ of the cervix) unless in complete remission for a minimum of 2
years from treatment start

- Clinically significant cardiovascular disease

- Known hypersensitivity to gemcitabine or 5-fluoruracil

- Serious, non-healing wound, ulcer or bone fracture

- Major surgical procedure or significant traumatic injury within 28 days (not
including endoscopic biopsy)

- Evidence of any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding or
laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that
contraindicates the use of chemoradiotherapy or puts the patient at high risk for
treatment-related complications

- Life expectancy < 5 years

- Inability or unwillingness to comply with the protocol

- Active ulcerative colitis, Crohns' disease or systemic lupus erythematosus

- ALP, AST, ALT > 2.5 x ULN

- Serum Creatinine > 1.5 x ULN or estimated CrCl < 30 ml/min

- Total Ca > 2.6 mmol/L

effective means of contraception while receiving the study interventions and 30 days
after receiving the last dose of study interventions

- Male participants ,unwilling or unable, or whose female partner is unwilling or
unable, to use effective means of contraception while the participant is receiving
the study interventions and 30 days after receiving the last dose of study
interventions
