Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Arm A standard Arm Upfront surgery   Patients randomized to upfront surgery will undergo whipples procedure. vascular resection will be done if required.  
Intervention  Arm B experimental Arm SBRT followed by 2 cycles of folfirinox   Patients in the experimental arm after SBRT will received 2 cycles of modified folfirino post 1 to 2 weeks of SBRT fluorouracil (without bolus), leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin. Every cycle will be of 14 days Post 2 cycles of chemotherapy patient will be evaluated for surgery. A cycle of m folfirino is delivered as follows oxaliplatin 85 mg per m2 IV over 2 hours on day 1, followed by irinotecan 180 mg per m2 IV over 90 minutes on day 1 followed by leucovorin 400 mg per m2 IV over 2 hours on day 1 followed by 5-FU 2400 mg per m2 IV over 46-48 hours. Alternatively, leucovorin may be administered concurrently with the last 30 min of oxaliplatin, and the entire 90 minutes of irinotecan. 5-FU is administered via IV infusion only there is no bolus injection of 5-FU. White blood cell growth factor is required within 24 hours of completion of 5-FU, administered according to institutional procedures

Brief Summary   Introduction :Stereotactic body radiotherapy is high precision radiotherapy where radiobiologically very high and efficient doses can be delivered. SBRT can be given over 5-10 days and the biologically equivalent dose appears to be higher than conventional fractionation schedules which is given over 5-6 weeks. This is also more convenient to patients and in case of resectable pancreatic cancer SBRT will not delay surgery significantly. May result in improved increased rates of R0 resection and hence may result in improved of local control and survival

Staging and baseline evaluation:

  1. Baseline Triphasic CECT scan of the abdomen delineating the relation of the tumor with the vessels & the duodenum defined to be resectable as per the NCCN guidelines ( Version 2.0 )
  2. Baseline CEA ( Carcinoembryoinic antigen ) & CA-19.9( Carbohdrate antigen)
  3. CBC, LFT,RFT, total protein and albumin

Assessment of response to neoadjuvant therapy was based on Triphasic contrast enhanced restaging CT scans 6 weeks after completion of SBRT

Treatment:

 

Patients will undergo upfront surgery alone or SBRT followed by 2 cycles of chemotherapy and then surgery as per Institutional guidelines. Patients being randomized to upfront surgery arm (ARM A) will not require a tissue diagnosis, however histopathological confirmation would be required only if the tumor is not well appreciated  or is considered doubtful as per the Triphasic CECT scan findings.

A mandatory histological confirmation of adenocarcinoma pancreas would be required in experimental arm ( ARM B) prior to the start of therapy.Acute toxicity and adverse effects would be reported using the CTCAE VERSION 5(Appendix) recommendations for classifying acute toxic effects of radiotherapy

1)    ARM A (Standard ARM) – Upfront surgery

Patients randomized to upfront surgery will undergo Whipples procedure. Vascular resection will be done if required 

2)    ARM B (Experimental ARM) -SBRT followed by 2 cycles of FOLFIRINOX  

The following procedures would be done
