Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of modified FOLFIRINOX followed by stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) and locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). The primary hypothesis will be to determine if modified FOLFIRINOX followed by SBRT improves progression free survival (PFS) compared to historical controls treated with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy with or without standard fractionated radiation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Primary and Secondary are listed below.

Primary Objective:

\- To evaluate progression free survival after modified FOLFIRINOX and SBRT in borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

Secondary Objective:

* To evaluate the radiographic response to FOLFIRINOX and SBRT by comparing IV contrast CT scans before and after therapy.
* To determine rates of recurrence (local only, systemic only, and both local and systemic), and overall survival.
* To determine rates of grade 3 or greater gastrointestinal toxicity, including acute toxicities occurring within 3 months of treatment, and late toxicities occurring over 3 months after completion of radiation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

mFOLFIRINOX followed by SBRT

Patients will receive mFOLFIRINOX, followed stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

mFOLFIRINOX

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients will receive 6-12 cycles of mFOLFIRINOX every 2 weeks

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)

Intervention Type RADIATION

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) will be delivered to the primary tumor and any adjacent involved lymph nodes to 33 Gy in 5 fractions over the course of 2 weeks, and within 4 weeks of chemotherapy.
