Efficacy of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) Combined With Maintenance Therapy Compared to Maintenance Therapy Alone in Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

Efficacy of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) Combined With Maintenance Therapy Compared to Maintenance Therapy Alone in Advanced Pancreatic Cancer: A Multi-center, Randomized Controlled Phase II Clinical Trial

Sponsor

Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute

Enrollment

24 participants

Start Date

Aug 14, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Pancreatic Cancer Non-resectable

Summary

This is a Phase II, multicenter, randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) in combination with maintenance therapy in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. The aim is to compare the efficacy of SBRT combined with maintenance therapy versus maintenance therapy alone. The primary outcome is the overall survival (OS) of patients, with secondary endpoints including progression-free survival (PFS), response rates, and quality of life assessments. The study will involve patients with unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma who are receiving chemotherapy and have stable disease. The hypothesis is that SBRT, by improving local control, can enhance the benefit of ongoing maintenance therapy and lead to better overall survival outcomes in this patient group.

Interventions

RADIATIONStereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) with maintenance therapy

Patients eligible for this trial will have completed at least four months of first-line chemotherapy, achieving stable disease (SD) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. After completion of the chemotherapy, they will be randomized into two groups: the experimental group will receive SBRT in addition to maintenance chemotherapy. The chemotherapy regimen will be based on the patient's first-line treatment.

DRUGMaintenance therapy

Patients eligible for this trial will have completed at least four months of first-line chemotherapy, achieving stable disease (SD) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. After completion of the chemotherapy, they will be randomized into two groups: the control group will receive maintenance chemotherapy alone. The chemotherapy regimen will be based on the patient's first-line treatment.
