What is the Role of Chemoradiation in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer? Christopher H. Crane, M.D. Professor Program Director and Section Chief, Gastrointestinal Section Department of Radiation Oncology
Why is pancreatic cancer a bad disease? Anatomy: proximity to critical vessels Biology: early metastatic spread localized disease at dx: 30% will not metastasize Physiology: exocrine insufficiency, cachexia Poor tolerance to treatment Treatment resistance
Rationale for Local treatment Pancreatic Cancer • Resected patients • 15-25% 5 yr OS • Locally advanced patients • 30% Local only disease JHU Autopsy Series • 30-40% Local progression - MDACC phase II trial • Selection based on SMAD4(DPC4)? Iacobuzio-Donahue et al, JCO, 2009 Crane et al, JCO, 2011
Patients commonly die of • Stent complications / biliary sepsis • Gastric outlet obstruction • Acute SMV / PV occlusion

GERCOR LAP07 Phase III (NCT00634725) R A N D O M I Z E Gemcitabine x 4 cycles 2nd Randomization +/- ChemoRT LAPC N= 900 Gemcitabine + Erlotinib x 4 Primary Endpoints: Overall Survival +/- Erlotinib +/- Capecitabine-Radiation P. Hammel (PI, GERCOR)
Questions about LAP-07 • Quality assurance of CXRT • # of patients treated off study with CXRT was at least 20% • How many were non-complaint with CXRT?

Overall Survival: Resected vsUnresected Tumors Resected, n=7 Unresected, n=60 Median - 19.2 months 1yr – 67.2% 2yr – 27.0% 5yr – 10.2% Crane, JCO 2011
SMAD4/DPC4 • Tumor suppressor gene • SMAD4/DPC4 Gene Status • Encodes for protein in TGFβ pathway • Inactivation/mutation associated with poor prognosis and higher risk of metastases • Loss of SMAD4/DPC4 expression increases with more advanced metastatic tumor burden Iacobuzio-Donahue, C. J Clin Oncol, 2009. Blackford, A. Clin Can Res, 2009.
JHU Rapid Autopsy Series Local only- 22% SMAD4 loss p=0.032 Extensive metastatic- 78% SMAD4 loss limited metastatic Iacobuzio-Donahue et al, JCO, 2009
Correlative studies • IHC of available diagnostic cytology specimens • (60 pts, 49 available slides, 41 enough material) • Destained slides, harvested DNA for Sequenom • 41 samples, majority would not work • Possibly due to the de-staining process Crane, JCO 2011

Smad4 identification: RTOG 1201 • IHC of cytology/core bx specimens • Cell blocks or Endoscopic core biopsies req’d • ETOH fixed Smears requested • Correlative study on smears • Next generation sequencing
Personalization of Care in PC • hENT1 identified from RTOG 9704 • CO101 designed for hENT1 low to overcome the transport limitation • Phase III trial announced as negative • Stromal SPARK correlated with responses to GEM/Nab-paclitaxel • Phase III trial announced as positive • No details of plans to evaluate SPARK • Smad4 (DPC4)
Success of local treatment intensification hinges on selection 2000-2010 - Clinical selection (CTX first) Select out early DM phenotype Location (away from duodenum), tumor size, low Ca 19-9, response to CTX 2010 and beyond - genotypic selection Identify ‘locally destructive’ phenotype SMAD4 intact?
Conclusions, Role of XRT Locally advanced PC Effective local therapy is necessary for long term survival in LAPC 12 mo MS is not good enough! CTX and CXRT are complementary modalities Standard sequencing is chemo (2-4 mo) then CXRT Select patients who may benefit from CXRT
