About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Pancreatic Cancer focused on measuring pancreatic cancer

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient age >= 18 years
  • Performance status of 0-3
  • Unresectable pancreatic cancer
  • Maximum tumor diameter < 7.5 cm
  • Signed study-specific consent form

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Maximum tumor diameter > 7.5 cm
  • Prior radiotherapy to the upper abdomen
  • Pregnant or lactating women, due to potential exposure of the fetus to RT and unknown effects of RT on lactating females
  • Patients with psychiatric or addictive disorder that would preclude obtaining informed consent

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

A

Arm Description

Stereotactic Radiation to Pancreas

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Local Control Rate
Local recurrence is defined as tumor recurrence within the planning target volume. Local control rate will be evaluated by imaging techniques such as CT or MRI. Local recurrence will be defined as an increase of > 20% in tumor size. If necessary, a Positron Emission Tomography scan may be used to aid in diagnoses of local tumor recurrence.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Late Toxicity Rate
Toxicities will be graded using CTCAE criteria at specified timepoints.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the local control rate as well as acute and late toxicity rates of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for the treatment of unresectable pancreatic cancer.
Detailed Description
This is a single institution, non-randomized, prospective, phase IV trial of SBRT for unresectable pancreatic cancer. Data collected will include patient demographics, pathology data, tumor stage, SBRT dose fractionation scheme, dose received by adjacent critical normal tissues, tumor recurrence data, and acute and late toxicities. Follow up data will be collected during the patient's standard office visits. The anticipated duration of this study is 5 years.
