Inclusion Criteria

Current inclusion criteria as of 06/02/2020:
1. Aged 18 years or over
2. Histologically or cytologically proven carcinoma of the pancreas
3. Locally advanced, non-metastatic inoperable disease as per NCCN criteria. The following types of interventions are allowed:
3.1. Palliative bypass procedure
3.2. Common bile duct stenting
4. Primary pancreatic lesion 6 cm or less in diameter (taken from scan results)
5. World Health Organisation PS 0-1
6. Adequate haematological function: neutrophils at least 1.5 x 109/L and platelets at least 100 x 109/L 7. Adequate liver function tests:
7.1. Serum bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN. In participants who have had a recent biliary drain and whose bilirubin is improving, a value of less than or equal to 3 x ULN is acceptable, however treatment should not start unless Bilirubin is less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN.
7.2. AST and/or ALT less than or equal to 3 x ULN.
8. Adequate renal function (GFR at least 40ml/min) (using a validated creatinine clearance calculation (e.g. Cockcroft & -Gault , Wright formula, or as per local standard).
9. Written informed consent obtained
10. Women of child-bearing potential must have negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 14 days prior to registration and must agree to use an adequate contraception method (defined as barrier methods in conjunction with spermicide, approved contraceptive implants, long-term injectable contraception or intrauterine hormonal devices) during GEMABX treatment and for 6 months after the last administration of GEMABX, as well as during chemoradiotherapy and for 6 months after completion of all treatment.
11. Male patients must be surgically sterile or must agree to use a condom during GEMABX treatment and for 6 months after last administration of GEMABX, and to use a condom during chemoradiotherapy and for three months after completion of chemoradiotherapy or, whichever date comes last.

Exclusion Criteria

Current exclusion criteria as of 06/02/2020:
1. Primary resectable cancer of the pancreas.
2. Distant metastases
3. Pregnant or breastfeeding patients.
4. Any evidence of severe uncontrolled systemic diseases including uncontrolled coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction or stroke within the last 6 months, any major systemic or psychiatric comorbidities or any other considerations that the PI judges might impact on patient safety or protocol compliance and achievement of the study aims.
5. Previous malignancies in the preceding 3 years except for:
5.1. In situ cancer of the uterine cervix
5.2. Adequately treated basal cell skin carcinoma
5.3. Adequately treated early-stage non-pancreatic malignancy in complete remission for at least three years
6. Renal abnormalities including adult polycystic kidney disease or hydronephrosis or ipsilateral single kidney (i.e. functioning right kidney for head tumours; left kidney for tail tumours) that may preclude upper abdominal radiotherapy without damaging functional kidneys.
7. Previous RT to upper abdomen
8. Recurrent cancer following definitive pancreatic surgery

14. Known galactose intolerance, Lapplactose deficiency or glucosegalactose malabsorption
15. History of severe unexpected reaction to fluoropyrimidine therapies
16. If the following concomitant medications cannot be discontinued temporarily during the CRT phase then the patients cannot enter the trial, as they interact with capecitabine:

16.2. Methotrexate.
16.3. Allopurinol and dipyridamole
17. Use of prohibited concomitant medications listed in section 7.3.4. (Note that temporary discontinuation during nelfinavir treatment is not acceptable) these cannot be temporarily discontinued.
