About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Pancreatic Cancer focused on measuring Pancreatic Cancer, Stereotactic Radiation

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients must have histologically confirmed, unresected cancer of the pancreas or ampulla. The cancer may include any invasive histology (e.g. adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine carcinoma).
  • Patients must have measurable radiographic disease.Patients with previous complete resection are only eligible if there is measurable radiographic disease which is clearly felt to represent locally recurrent disease.
  • Patients may receive any number of cycles of chemotherapy prior to treatment with SBRT, but not within 2 weeks of the first fraction of RT.
  • Age > or = 18 years.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status < or = 2 (Karnofsky > or = 60%)
  • Life expectancy of greater than 3 months.
  • Patients must have normal organ and marrow function.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Concurrent investigational therapy delivered over the period of treatment or observation (28 days post-RT) for dose limiting toxicity.
  • Prior radiation therapy to the abdominal area which would overlap with the proposed area of treatment.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Primary disease > 7.5 cm in largest diameter as measured by CT or MRI.
  • Gross extension of tumor into the lumen of the duodenum.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Use of bevacizumab or vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor chemotherapy within 3 months before RT or 6 months after RT.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Stereotactic Radiation

Arm Description

Escalating doses of SBRT in three doses over ten days.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Maximum Tolerated Dose (phase 1)
Side effects will be assessed after 28 days of treatment to determine tolerability of the dose of radiation.
Identify the appropriate dose for treatment of unresected carcinoma of the ampulla or pancreas

Secondary Outcome Measures

Reported side effects
Change in patient reported pain score using visual analog scale
Using the visual analog scale, patients rate pain from 1-10 with higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.
Number of patients eligible for surgery to remove tumor after treatment
Number of patients with disease control
Number of patients with no disease progression as measured by tumor imaging
Change in patient reported outcomes using FACT-Hepatobiliary (FACT-Hep) quality of life questionnaire.
