Study Summary

Patients with advanced pancreas adenocarcinoma will be randomized on a 6:1 basis to receive standard of care chemotherapy followed by adaptive stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) with concurrent and adjuvant FAK inhibitor defactinib (experimental arm) or standard of care chemotherapy followed by SBRT (control arm). Patients enrolled to the experimental arm will be assessed for clinical outcomes such as progression free survival (PFS), local control, distant control, and toxicity. The initial 6 patients randomized to the experimental arm will be considered the safety lead-in and will be assessed for dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). Following completion of the safety lead-in, additional patients will be accrued in order to reach a total of 36 patients on the experimental arm (inclusive of the safety lead-in cohort) and 6 on the control arm.

Primary Outcome

* PFS is defined as the duration of time from start of standard of care chemotherapy treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first. The alive patients without progression will be censored at the last follow-up. * Progressive disease: At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also
