Participants received fixed-dose rate (FDR) gemcitabine (GEM) (1,500 mg/m\^2) plus bevacizumab (BEV) (10 mg/kg IV) every 2 weeks for three cycles followed by accelerated RT (30 Gy in 10 fractions) plus BEV directed at gross tumor volume plus a 1-2 cm vascular margin, +/- laparoscopy and resection after day 85.
Rate of Margin Negative Surgical Resection (R0 Resection Rate)
88 percentage of participants
Interval 75.0 to 96.0

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 48 months

Population: Participants who underwent laparoscopy and pancreatic resections.

Rate of pathologic complete response (pCR) is no residual invasive tumor, in situ carcinoma can be present, and no residual lymph node metastasis. Rate of pCR is the number of participants who underwent laparoscopy and pancreatic resections that experienced complete pathologic response/total number of participants who underwent laparoscopy and pancreatic resections.
