Study Overview

Intraoperative Radiation Therapy for Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

This phase II study is designed to investigate the efficacy of intraoperative radiotherapy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer. The purpose of the study is to show the local recurrence rate after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and IORT is superior to that of surgical resection alone from the historical control. A total of 80 patients will be enrolled, and these patients will receive IORT of 10 Gy at 5 millimeter depth of the tumor bed, following neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: IORT group

Intraoperative radiation therapy of 10 Gy delivered during surgery followed by adjuvant gemcitabine chemotherapy

RADIATION: intraoperative radiotherapy, IORT

  • A dose of 10 Gy is prescribed to be irradiated at a depth of 5 mm from the surface of the applicator, and the radiation oncologist determines the exact irradiation time. The irradiation time may take 20 to 60 minutes depending on the size of the applicato
Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
3-year local recurrence rateA local recurrence is defined as reappearance of cancer in the ipsilateral preserved breast or chest wall. The 3-year local recurrence rate is calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.3 year after intraoperative radiotherapy
Secondary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
post-operative complicationEvaluation of safety, including adverse events, was performed by the Principal Investigator and delegated participating investigators in the Department of Surgery and Radiation Oncology outpatient clinic. Toxicity is evaluated within 3 months (acute) and thereafter (chronic) after surgery, and it is performed through a questionnaire and physical examination at every visit up to 1 year after surgery and recorded.3 year after intraoperative radiotherapy
disease free survivalDisease-free survival is defined as the time from intraoperative radiotherapy to recurrence of tumor, death or last patient contact.1 year and 2 year after intraoperative radiotherapy.
Overall survivalOverall survival was defined as the time from intraoperative radiotherapy to death or last patient contact.1 year and 2 year after intraoperative radiotherapy.
