About this trial

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of XER-001 and identify a best dose for future studies.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Cytologic or biopsy confirmed adenocarcinoma of the pancreas

Locally-advanced and/or technically unresectable, as determined by a specialist pancreaticobiliary surgeon and as part of a multidisciplinary team review including of multiphase cross-sectional imaging, demonstrating: i. Greater than 180-degree tumor involvement of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) ii. Greater than 180-degree tumor involvement of the celiac axis including major branches of the celiac axis that would render the tumor unresectable (e.g. common hepatic artery) iii. Tumor involvement of the first branch of the SMA that is not surgically reconstructible iv. Long segment involvement of the superior mesenteric vein/portal vein/hepatic artery that is not amenable to surgical reconstructible.

Potentially resectable anatomically but deemed not a surgical candidate after multidisciplinary review (such as unresectable due to comorbid conditions that render.

Potentially resectable but the patient elects to refuse surgery and prefers to pursue SBRT, and disease is deemed eligible for SBRT

Disqualifiers

Prior radiotherapy to the upper abdomen with overlap of. the anticipated SBRT field

Prior radiopharmaceutical therapy

Prior surgical resection of the pancreatic tumor

Uncontrolled or active gastric or duodenal ulcer disease within 30 days of enrollment
