The purpose of the phase I/II clinical study is to determine the best dose of fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (SBRT) given either with Avasopasem manganese (GC4419) or placebo to patients who have been diagnosed with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
This is a parallel arm adaptive design phase I-II dose-finding study to determine the optimal dose of fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (SBRT), given either with the radiomodulating agent Avasopasem manganese (GC4419) or placebo for treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Dose-finding will be done using the sequentially adaptive phase I-II Late onset Efficacy-Toxicity (LO-ET) trade-off-based design \[1-3\]. A maximum of 48 patients will be randomized 1:1 to Arm A or Arm B. Patients in Arm A will receive Avasopasem manganese (GC4419) in combination with their assigned SBRT dose, and patients in Arm B will receive Placebo (PBO) with their assigned SBRT dose. The randomization will be restricted so that the sample size within each arm is exactly 24 patients. GC4419/placebo will be given intravenously in a one hour infusion. SBRT must be initiated as soon as possible upon completion of the GC4419/placebo infusion. GC4419/placebo will be given beginning on the first day of radiation and continuing daily, concurrent M-F throughout the administration of SBRT

CTCAE Grade 3 or 4 Gastro-intestinal (GI) Toxicities or Death Within 90 Days From the Start of Therapy
Number of Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Events (CTCAE) that are grade 3 or 4 gastro-intestinal (GI) toxicities or deaths. CTCAE grade 3 or 4 gastro-intestinal toxicities are those adverse events that a subject may experience in their gastro-intestinal system that have been graded by the treating investigator to be severe (Grade 3) or life-threatening (Grade 4).
Time frame: Within 90 days from the start of therapy "related" after CTCAE
Radiographic Stable Disease (SD) or Better Based on RECIST Criteria
Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria for target lesions that are assessed by radiographic imaging : Complete Response (CR) is the disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the longest diameter of the target lesions; Stable disease (SD) is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for a PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for local progressive disease (LPD); Local Progressive Disease (LPD) is at least a 20% increase in the longest diameter of the target lesion, utilizing the baseline measurement as reference.
Time frame: All subjects assessed with at least 12 months of follow up following the administration of SBRT
