NBTXR3 Activated by Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Locally Advanced or Borderline-Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

Prior treatment

• Prior radiation therapy to the upper abdomen
• Prior surgical resection of pancreatic tumor
• Has received any approved or investigational anti-neoplastic agent other than the chemotherapies specified in this protocol (i.e. chemotherapies included in Inclusion #4)
• Class III or IV Congestive Heart Failure as defined by the New York Heart Association functional classification system \<6 months prior to screening

Other illness

• Known uncontrolled (Grade ≥ 2) or active gastric or duodenal ulcer disease within 30 days of enrollment
• Active malignancy, in addition to pancreatic cancer, with the exception of basal cell carcinoma of the skin definitively treated and relapse free within at least 1 year from diagnosis
• Clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias (e.g., ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsades de pointes, second or third degree atrioventricular heart block without a permanent pacemaker in place)
• Known active, uncontrolled (high viral load) HIV or hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection
  • Patients who have been vaccinated for hepatitis B and do not have a history of infection are eligible.
• Women of child-bearing potential and their male partners who are unwilling or unable to use an acceptable method of birth control for the entire study period. Acceptable methods of contraception are those that, alone or in combination, result in a failure rate of \< 1% per year when used consistently and correctly
• Any condition for which, in the opinion of the investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the participant (e.g., compromise the well-being) or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments

Other

• Diagnosis other than pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. All other histologic types (i.e., adenosquamous, cystadenocarcinoma, etc.) are not eligible to participate on this study.
• LAPC or BRPC with radiographic evidence of distant metastasis at screening.
• Known contraindication to iodine-based or gadolinium-based IV contrast
• Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding

• 1\. Signed informed consent form (ICF) indicating that participant understands the purpose of, and procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate in the study 2. Age ≥ 18 years 3. Biopsy proven ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas,as defined by the following:
• Borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma (BRPC) has no aortic involvement with at least ONE of the following features: i. Superior mesenteric vein (SMV) or Portal vein (PV) with a tumor interface of ≥ 180° OR short segment occlusion of SMV or PV amenable to reconstruction ii. Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) or celiac axis (CA) with a tumor interface of \< 180° iii. Any degree of hepatic artery interface that is amenable to reconstruction b. Locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (LAPC) has at least ONE of the following features:
• Signed informed consent form (ICF) indicating that participant understands the purpose of, and procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate in the study
• Age ≥ 18 years
• Biopsy proven ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas,as defined by the following:
  • Borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma (BRPC) has no aortic involvement with at least ONE of the following features: i. Superior mesenteric vein (SMV) or Portal vein (PV) with a tumor interface of ≥ 180° OR short segment occlusion of SMV or PV amenable to reconstruction ii. Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) or celiac axis (CA) with a tumor interface of \< 180° iii. Any degree of hepatic artery interface that is amenable to reconstruction b. Locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (LAPC) has at least ONE of the following features: i. Occlusion of the SMV or PV that is not amenable to reconstruction ii. Tumor interface of the superior mesenteric artery or celiac axis ≥ 180° iii. Involvement of the hepatic artery that is not amenable to reconstruction iv. Involvement of the aorta
