Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of radiation therapy plus paclitaxel in treating patients who have nonmetastatic, unresectable pancreatic cancer.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
OUTLINE: This is a open label, multicenter study. Patients are highly recommended to undergo laparoscopic surgical staging prior to protocol to exclude peritoneal and hepatic metastases. Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours weekly for 6 weeks beginning on day 1 followed 1.5 hours later by external beam radiotherapy daily 5 days a week for 5.5 weeks beginning on day 1. All patients are restaged with an abdominal CT scan 6 weeks following completion of chemoradiotherapy. If there is marked response to treatment at this time, curative surgery may be attempted at the discretion of the attending surgeon. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 4 months for the second year, every 6 months for years 3-5, and annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients will be accrued into this study over 12 months.
