Safety Endpoint
Number of subjects with TraceIT procedure-related event which resulted in a delay in initiation for RT (radio-therapy).
Time frame: 2-6 week assessment post-procedure
Radio-Therapy Benefits of TraceIT
Number of subjects who were able to maintain safe duodenal dose constraints. RT benefits were assessed via comparison of pre- and post-TraceIT administration RT plans with consideration of the following: ability to maintain safe duodenal dose constraints, percent/volume of gross tumor volume/planning target volume (GTV/PTV) receiving prescription dose and overall duodenal dose/dose distribution.
Time frame: 2-6 week assessment
Feasibility of TraceIT
Number of subjects who achieved Technical Success (the ability to place TraceIT and create space between the duodenum and head of pancreas (HOP).
Time frame: 2-6 week assessment post-procedure
TraceIT Persistence (at 6-months Post-treatment)
Characteristics of TraceIT persistence and migration were measured at 2 to 6 weeks and 6 months following injection. Persistence was measured at the 2 to 6 week and 6 month follow-ups by assessing whether a cohesive mass of water density fluid was present in the periduodenal space following the last radio therapy appointment. Migration of the TraceIT post Radiation was measured by CT scan taken at 2-6 weeks follow-up.
Time frame: 2-6 weeks and 6 month post procedure
Theoretical Dose Escalation From Post-TraceIT Treatment Plan
Maximum dose to the GTV while maintaining duodenal dose constraints
Time frame: 2-6 week assessment Post-procedure

Number of subject with Duodenal AE summarized by CTCAE grade and timing
Time frame: 18 months post procedure
Incidence of Resection Following the Completion of Radiation Therapy (RT)
Number of subjects with resection following the completion of radiation therapy (RT). Within 2-6 weeks after completion of therapy, subjects were restaged to determine whether they may progress for surgery (resection).
Time frame: 2-6 weeks post procedure
Progression Free and Overall Survival
Progression-free survival is the interval between the start of induction chemotherapy (prior to Radiation Therapy) to the earliest treatment failure onset date, or death, in months. Overall survival is the interval between the start of induction chemotherapy (prior to radiation therapy) to death in month.
Time frame: 18 months post procedure
Changes From Baseline at the Final RT Appointment, 3 Month, 6 Month, 12 Month and 18 Month in EORTC QoL (QLQ-C30)
The EORTC QOL QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire used to assess patient-reported symptoms and outcomes during cancer treatment. The survey contains 28 questions scored on a 4-point Likert scale (1 = 'Not at all' to 4 'Very much') and 2 questions on a 7-point numerical scale (1 = 'Very poor' to 7 = 'Excellent').Questions are grouped into 15 categories containing 1 to 5 different questions per category. All scores were transformed to a 0-100 scale following instructions in the scoring manual. Raw scores calculated as the average of component items are then standardized using linear transformation to a score ranging from 0-100. Higher score for a functional scale represents a high/healthy level of functioning. A high score for the global health status/QoL represents a high QoL. A high score for a symptom scale/item represents a high level of symptomatology/problems.
