February 18, 2020 updated by: Kathy Baglan, MD, Mercy Research

Phase IV Trial Evaluating the Use of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for the Treatment of Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer

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.

Stereotactic Radiation to Pancreas
Radiation: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Local Control Rate
Time Frame: 5 years
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.
5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Late Toxicity Rate
Time Frame: 5 years
Toxicities will be graded using CTCAE criteria at specified timepoints.
