Study Overview
Brief Summary
This is a prospective, multicentre randomised, phase II clinical trial, with randomisation 2:1 by minimisation and stratification by tumour stage, planned chemotherapy and institution.
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, multicentre randomised, phase II clinical trial to evaluate safety and activity of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in addition to chemotherapy in patients with high-risk and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) and locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). High risk defined as any patient with tumour >4cm, extrapancreatic extension or node positive disease.
