Milestone 1: Targeted chemotherapy prior to surgery: 8 weeks targeted chemotherapy; restaging.

Milestone 2: Before surgery: Chemoradiotherapy (cRXT); restaging Milestone 3: Before surgery: 8 weeks targeted chemotherapy; restaging; chemoradiotherapy (cXRT); restaging.

Milestone 4: standard FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy prior to surgery: 8 weeks FOLFIRINOX (standard chemotherapy); restaging; standard chemoradiotherapy (cXRT); restaging.

Milestone 5: After surgery: 8 weeks targeted chemotherapy; restaging; chemoradiotherapy (cXRT); restaging.

Milestone 6: Gemcitabine after surgery: 8 weeks standard Gemcitabine (chemotherapy); restaging; chemoradiotherapy (cXRT); restaging.

Milestone 7: After surgery: chemoradiotherapy (cXRT); restaging. Milestone 8: Gemcitabine after surgery: 8 weeks Gemcitabine (chemotherapy); restaging; 8 weeks Gemcitabine (chemotherapy); restaging.

Milestone 9: No additional therapy after surgery. Milestone 10: After surgery no additional treatment.

The molecular profile from the biopsy before surgery will point to a particular chemotherapy treatment.

Milestone 1: Targeted chemotherapy prior to surgery

A radio-sensitizing chemotherapy agent (either Gemcitabine or Capecitabine) will be given. Using 3D conformal or intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) techniques, patients will receive a total dose of 50.4 Gy prescribed to the 95% isodose at 1.8 Gy/fraction (28 fractions).

Milestone 2: Chemoradiotherapy (cXRT)

Milestone 3: Targeted chemotherapy prior to surgery

A radio-sensitizing chemotherapy agent (either Gemcitabine or Capecitabine) will be given. Using 3D conformal or IMRT techniques, patients will receive a total dose of 50.4 Gy prescribed to the 95% isodose at 1.8 Gy/fraction (28 fractions).

Milestone 3: Chemoradiotherapy (cXRT)

A biopsy of the borderline tumor does not provide a molecular profile that can be used to target treatment. The treatment will be standard FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy regimen.

Milestone 4: standard FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy prior to surgery

Milestone 4: Chemoradiotherapy (cXRT)

The molecular profile from the surgical specimen will point to a particular chemotherapy treatment.

Milestone 5: Targeted chemotherapy after surgery

Milestone 5: Chemoradiotherapy (cXRT)

Milestone 6: Gemcitabine after surgery

Milestone 6: Chemoradiotherapy (cXRT)

Milestone 7: Chemoradiotherapy (cXRT)

Milestone 8: Targeted chemotherapy after surgery

Milestone 9: Gemcitabine after surgery

The molecular profile of the tumor that was removed during surgery points to a lack of treatment affect for available therapies. No additional therapy is recommended.

Milestone 10: No additional therapy after surgery

In this clinical trial, if the doctor knows or suspects that a growth in the pancreas is cancer (adenocarcinoma), then a sample of the growth is tested (the test is called molecular profiling). The results of the test are used by the doctor to recommend therapy (chemotherapy and radiation therapy) that the patient will receive before having surgery to remove the adenocarcinoma. When the patient goes to surgery, the adenocarcinoma that is removed is tested again. The results of that test are used to guide the choice of therapy after surgery.

The chemotherapy drugs and the radiation therapy used in this clinical trial are already approved for treatment of pancreas cancer. This trial is intended to establish which treatment is best for a specific patient, based on test results from that patient's actual adenocarcinoma. In the past, the decision as to which treatment the patient will receive was not based on testing of the actual adenocarcinoma.

See treatment pathways at http://www.mcw.edu/surgery/patientinfo/Pancreatic-Cancer-Trial.htm.

Hypothesis: Resectability rate, overall survival rate and progression-free survival in subjects with adenocarcinoma of the pancreas will be superior for who receive targeted "personalized" therapy.

A Prospective Phase II Trial of Molecular Profiling to Guide Neoadjuvant Therapy for Resectable and Borderline Resectable Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas

This outcome measure is the number of subjects completing therapy up to and including surgical resection. In this context, surgical excision of residual tumor is an option in the progression of usual care. Surgery was contraindicated for some participants. This measure is the number of subject who were eligible for and completed the surgical procedure.

This measure is the median time of survival (in months) at five years from the initiation of therapy. Results will be presented for two cohorts: subjects completing neoadjuvant therapy and surgical resection; and subjects completing neoadjuvant therapy but without surgical resection.

This measure is the number of subjects not experiencing tumor progression at five years from initiating therapy.

The number of subjects for whom a biomarker (i.e., molecular profile) was used to determine the course of treatment.

The number of tumors showing a histologic response. Histological response will be measured using the Ryan Score method as defined by the American Joint Committee on Cancer, 7th edition (see Edge, 2010). Grading categories are defined as: Grade 0 (complete response); Grade 1 (near complete response); Grade 2 (partial response); and Grade 3 (poor or no response).
