The survival rate for patients with pancreatic cancer remains at a dismal 10% or less at 5 years, and although trials integrating stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) alone have shown improvement in local control, initial invigoration of immune response, and relief of symptom burden, SBRT has not demonstrated any improvement in survival. Preclinical research has established that STAT3 inhibition given concurrently with SBRT and in the maintenance phase acts as a synergistic agent that enhances the pro-inflammatory effects of SBRT while reducing its undesired effects (including fibrosis and immunosuppression). This study exploits the window of opportunity post-chemotherapy to advance the hypothesis that the addition of STAT3 inhibition in combination with SBRT will be safe and will enhance 2-year progression-free survival.
Inclusion Criteria: * Pathologically confirmed pancreatic adenocarcinoma that is borderline resectable or locally advanced as defined by NCCN guidelines, with no expected arterial resection/reconstruction. * Patients who are borderline resectable must have completed standard of care induction chemotherapy between 1 and 3 weeks prior to planned start of TTI-101 + SBRT. Patients who exceed this window may be considered for enrollment if they complete an additional cycle of induction chemotherapy prior to initiation of study treatment (per provider discretion). The receipt and/or amount of induc…
