Summary
The study is a prospective phase I trial of radiation therapy concurrent with capecitabine
and oxaliplatin chemotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced pancreas adenocarcinoma.
Eligibility criteria include pathologically confirmed, non-metastatic adenocarcinoma of the
pancreas that is surgically unresectable. Patients will undergo radiation therapy (28
treatments of 1.8 Gy for a total of 50.4 Gy) concurrent with capecitabine and oxaliplatin
chemotherapy. The primary objective of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated doses
of capecitabine and oxaliplatin when delivered concurrently with 50.4 Gy radiation therapy
with or without surgery in this patient population.
Secondary objectives of the study are to determine the tumor response rate, survival rate,
local control rate and the rate of distant metastases following capecitabine, oxaliplatin,
and radiation therapy with or without surgery and to determine the rate at which patients
with unresectable disease become resectable.
