This is a prospective, multicentre randomised, phase II clinical trial, with randomisation 2:1 by minimisation and stratification by tumour stage, planned chemotherapy and institution.
This is a prospective, multicentre randomised, phase II clinical trial to evaluate safety and activity of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in addition to chemotherapy in patients with high-risk and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) and locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). High risk defined as any patient with tumour \>4cm, extrapancreatic extension or node positive disease.

RECRUITINGLocoregional control (Locoregional Response Rate LRR)
To determine if the addition of SBRT to chemotherapy improves locoregional control;
Time frame: Within 12 months of randomisation;
Safety (NCI CTCAE v5.0)
Compare acute and late side effects from chemotherapy +/- SBRT
Time frame: Safety Assessment before each cycle of chemotherapy, post chemotherapy treatment, following SBRT and surgery (if applicable) then at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months post-randomisation and 6 monthly during year 2, 3 and 4
Surgical morbidity/mortality (Clavien grading system)
Length of stay, death within 30 days, frequency and severity of adverse events. Hospital admission during surgery will be calculated from day of surgery to date of discharge from acute care hospitalisation. The length of stay in acute hospital care will include intensive care admissions.
Time frame: At discharge post-surgery, 30 days and 90 days post surgery, up to 4 years
Radiological response rates (RECIST v1.1)
Compare radiologic response rates for chemotherapy +/- SBRT
Time frame: at baseline. In SBRT arm, post-initial chemotherapy (prior to SBRT). In both arms, 4-6 weeks post completion of initial treatment (prior to surgery), 3 ,6, 9 and 12 monthly during year 2, 3 and 4.
Progression Free Survival (PFS) (RECIST v1.1)
Compare 12-month progression free survival
Time frame: From randomisation to the time of first documented clinical or imaging relapse or date of death from any cause, whichever occurs first; up to 4 years

* Week 1, 2 and 3, qw: 1000 mg/m2 gemcitabine * 21 days continuous: 830 mg/m2 oral capecitabine + 7 days rest * 28-day cycle, 3 cycles
R0 resection. When the tumour is within the head of the pancreas, a standard Whipple's procedure and level 2/3 dissection with modification to obtain margin clearance will be offered. For lesions in the tail, a standard modular resection will be offered.

Quality of Life (EORTC QLQ C30 and PAN26 QOL)
To assess the impact of the regimens on quality of life of patients
Time frame: Baseline, Day 1 of each cycle of chemotherapy, prior to SBRT, post initial chemotherapy +/- SBRT, prior to surgery, 30 days post end of treatment, at months 3, 6,9 and 12 post randomisation 6 monthly in years 2, 3 and 4.
Deterioration-Free Survival (DFS) (EORTC QLQ C30)
To assess overall net clinical benefit of treatment
Time frame: The time until the first of the following events: a 10-point deterioration in health status from baseline, disease progression, death, or treatment discontinuation;up to 4 years
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the interval from the date of randomisation to date of death from any cause, or the date of last known alive. Participants will be censored at the date of commencement of the subsequent anti-cancer therapy.
Time frame: From the date of randomisation to date of death from any cause, or the date of last known alive; up to 4 years
