Study Summary

This phase III trial compares the effect of dose-escalated radiation therapy to usual care in patients with locally advanced unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who have received an initial 4-6 months of chemotherapy. Usual care options include additional chemotherapy, observation, or standard lower-dose radiation therapy. These treatments may delay tumor growth but have not been shown to improve survival. Radiation therapy uses high energy X-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Dose-escalated radiation therapy involves the precise delivery of higher doses to the tumor, often over a shorter period of time. This trial assesses whether using dose-escalated radiation therapy can prolong survival.

Primary Outcome

OS will be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method (Kaplan 1958). The 3-year OS estimates between the two arms will be compared using a Z-test. A logistic regression model will be used to analyze the effects of factors, in addition to treatment, including, but not limited to the stratification factor, which may be associated with 3-year OS. The primary hypothesis of improved 3-year OS will be tested with a 1-sided significance level of 0.023 (level based on not having stopped at either of the 2 pla
