Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
Patients meeting the following criteria may be included in the trial:

1. Age = 18
2. Histologically or cytologically proven malignancy of the pancreas
3. Locally advanced, non-metastatic, and inoperable (or operable but medically unfit for surgery) (as discussed at MDT) malignancy. The following types of interventions are allowed:
a. palliative bypass procedure
b. common bile duct stenting
4. Primary pancreatic lesion =7cm in diameter as measured by a CT scan of the thorax and abdomen that has been done within 4 weeks prior to the start of induction chemotherapy
5. WHO performance status 0-2
6. Neutrophils = 1.5 x 109/L, platelets = 100 x 109/L and haemoglobin = 10g/dL
7. Adequate liver function tests:
a. Serum bilirubin <35 micro mol/L. In participants who have had a recent biliary drain and whose bilirubin is descending, a value of =50µmol/L is acceptable.
b. AST and ALT =2.5 x ULN, alkaline phosphatase =5 x ULN
8. Adequate renal function (GFR >50ml/min (Cockcroft & Gault)
9. Capable of giving, and given, informed consent
10. Potentially fertile participants should agree to use an adequate contraception method, which must be continued for 3 months after completion of chemotherapy

Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria:
If any of the following criteria apply, participants cannot be included in the trial:
1. Women who are pregnant or breast feeding
2. Any evidence of severe uncontrolled systemic diseases including uncontrolled coronary artery disease
3. Any participants with myocardial infarction or stroke within the last 6 months
4. Previous malignancies in the preceding 5 years except for in situ cancer of the uterine cervix and adequately treated basal cell skin carcinoma and early stage malignancy
5. Renal abnormalities such as polycystic kidneys or hydronephrosis or ipsilateral single kidney.
6. Previous radiotherapy to upper abdomen
7. Recurrent cancer following definitive pancreatic surgery
8. Lymphoma or neuroendocrine tumours of the pancreas



Age minimum:
Age maximum:
Gender:
Female: yes
Male: yes
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Advanced localised non-metastatic pancreatic cancer (LANPC)
Intervention(s)

Trade Name: Xeloda
Product Name: capecitabine
Pharmaceutical Form: Film-coated tablet

Product Name: gemcitabine
Pharmaceutical Form: Powder for solution for infusion

Primary Outcome(s)
Primary end point(s): 39 weeks (from registration) progression-free survival, defined according to the RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours) criteria

Secondary Objective: In each arm of the trial assess:
1) Toxicity, during and after treatment using NCI CTCAE v.3.0. Also, SAEs will be collected in real time
2) Quality of life
3) Overall survival
4) Progression-free survival (time to event).
5) Radiotherapy quality assurance
6) Adherence to protocol
7) Change over time of CA19-9 response

Main Objective: To evaluate the activity, safety and feasibility of two chemoradiation treatments in the management of LANPC. If either is found to be active, safe and feasible to use it may be considered as experimental arm(s) of a future phase III trial.

Primary objective:
In each arm of the trial assess the 39 weeks (from registration) progression-free survival, defined according to the RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours) criteria.
