Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Pancreatic cancer is on the rise, and is set to become the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths by 2030. Its prognosis is very poor, with a 5-year survival rate of just 5.5%. Curative surgery with chemotherapy improves survival, but only 20% of patients are eligible. For locally advanced forms, radiotherapy, notably in the form of MRI-guided adaptive stereotactic radiotherapy (SMART), is showing promising results in terms of survival and local control, but still requires prospective validation.

A negative result must be documented before study treatment is started. Women without reproductive potential are postmenopausal women or women who have undergone permanent sterilisation (e.g. tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy) ; * Effective contraception for women of childbearing age ; * Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests and other study procedures ; * Patient has given informed, written and express consent ; * Patient affiliated to a French health insurance scheme. Exclusion Criteria: * Other concomitant cancer or history of cancer, with the exception of treated cervical cancer in situ, basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma, superficial bladder tumour (Ta, Tis, and T1) or a tumour with a good prognosis treated curatively without chemotherapy and without evidence of disease in the 3 years prior to inclusion ; * History of radiotherapy with a foreseeable overlap with the radiotherapy treatment under study (history of abdominal irradiation) ; * Contraindication to MRI and MRI-guided radiotherapy (claustrophobia, presence of metallic elements etc...) ; * History of chronic inflammatory disease of the colon or rectum ; * Women who are pregnant, parturient or breastfeeding ; * Any other serious concomitant and unbalanced disease or disorder that may interfere with the patient's participation in the study and his/her safety during the study (e.g. severe hepatic, renal, pulmonary, metabolic, or psychiatric disorders) ; * Legal incapacity (patient under curatorship or guardianship) ; * History of severe and unexpected reactions to treatment containing a fluoropyrimidine ; * Hypersensitivity to capecitabine, to used excipients or to fluorouracil ; * Known complete deficiency of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) ; * In patients with severe leukopenia, neutropenia or thrombocytopenia ; * In patients with severe hepatic insufficiency ; * Patients with severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min) ; * Recent or concomitant treatment with brivudine.
