Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Locoregional control (Locoregional Response Rate LRR) [Within 12 months of randomisation;]
To determine if the addition of SBRT to chemotherapy improves locoregional control;
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Safety (NCI CTCAE v5.0) [Safety Assessment before each cycle of chemotherapy, post chemotherapy treatment, following SBRT and surgery (if applicable) then at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months post-randomisation and 6 monthly during year 2, 3 and 4]
Compare acute and late side effects from chemotherapy +/- SBRT
- Surgical morbidity/mortality (Clavien grading system) [At discharge post-surgery, 30 days and 90 days post surgery, up to 4 years]
Length of stay, death within 30 days, frequency and severity of adverse events. Hospital admission during surgery will be calculated from day of surgery to date of discharge from acute care hospitalisation. The length of stay in acute hospital care will include intensive care admissions.
- Radiological response rates (RECIST v1.1) [at baseline. In SBRT arm, post-initial chemotherapy (prior to SBRT). In both arms, 4-6 weeks post completion of initial treatment (prior to surgery), 3 ,6, 9 and 12 monthly during year 2, 3 and 4.]
Compare radiologic response rates for chemotherapy +/- SBRT
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) (RECIST v1.1) [From randomisation to the time of first documented clinical or imaging relapse or date of death from any cause, whichever occurs first; up to 4 years]
Compare 12-month progression free survival
- Pathological response rates (College of American Pathology Tumour Regression Grade TRG) [At SRBT/surgery compared to baseline;]
Compare pathologic response rates of chemotherapy +/- SBRT
- Surgical resection rates (Guidelines for the Evaluation of Resectability and Histology) [At surgery]
Compare rates of surgical resection
- R0 resection rates (>1mm) (Synoptic PC histology reporting as outlined in Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA) [At surgery]
Compare R0 resection rates (>1 mm)
- Quality of Life (EORTC QLQ C30 and PAN26 QOL) [Baseline, Day 1 of each cycle of chemotherapy, prior to SBRT, post initial chemotherapy +/- SBRT, prior to surgery, 30 days post end of treatment, at months 3, 6,9 and 12 post randomisation 6 monthly in years 2, 3 and 4.]
To assess the impact of the regimens on quality of life of patients
- Deterioration-Free Survival (DFS) (EORTC QLQ C30) [The time until the first of the following events: a 10-point deterioration in health status from baseline, disease progression, death, or treatment discontinuation;up to 4 years]
To assess overall net clinical benefit of treatment
- Overall Survival (OS) [From the date of randomisation to date of death from any cause, or the date of last known alive; up to 4 years]
OS is defined as the interval from the date of randomisation to date of death from any cause, or the date of last known alive. Participants will be censored at the date of commencement of the subsequent anti-cancer therapy.
Other Outcome Measures
- Exploratory biomarker analysis of blood [baseline, prior to SBRT (Arm B only), insertion of fiducial markers (Arm B, optional), post initial treatment, at surgery (optional, at selected sites), 6 and12 months post randomisation and at progression, up to 5 years]
The list of blood biomarkers and their measurement will be updated when confirmed.
- Exploratory biomarker analysis of tissue [Diagnosis (archival tissue), at time of fiducial insertion (Arm B, optional), surgical resection (for resectable patients) and at time of progression (optional), up to 5 years.]
The list of tissue biomarkers and their measurement will be updated when confirmed.
- ePRO Acceptability [Baseline, Day 1 of each cycle of chemotherapy, 2 weeks post initial chemotherapy(SBRT arm), 4-6 weeks post initial chemotherapy +/- SBRT, 30 days post end of treatment, at months 3, 6,9 and 12 post randomisation 6 monthly in years 2, 3 and 4.]
