Summary

This is a single-arm, phase I clinical study designed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of SCART (Stereotactic Centralized Ablative Radiation Therapy) dose escalation in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer carries a dismal prognosis, and the majority of patients are not surgical candidates at diagnosis. Radiotherapy is an important local treatment modality, but conventional approaches have shown limited efficacy. SCART is intended to deliver higher ablative doses to the tumor core while minimizing toxicity to surrounding normal tissues. In this trial, eligible patients will receive SCART with escalating dose levels using a standard 3+3 design. The primary endpoints are to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), local control rate (LCR), and objective response rate (ORR).

SCART Dose Escalation Arm

Patients will receive SCART with escalating dose cohorts (10 Gy, 13 Gy, 16 Gy, and 19 Gy per fraction within the SCART region) using a standard 3+3 design. All patients will also receive background SBRT (25 Gy in 5 fractions) to the gross tumor volume and margin.
