The survival rate for patients with pancreatic cancer remains at a dismal 10% or less at 5 years, and although trials integrating stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) alone have shown improvement in local control, initial invigoration of immune response, and relief of symptom burden, SBRT has not demonstrated any improvement in survival. Preclinical research has established that STAT3 inhibition given concurrently with SBRT and in the maintenance phase acts as a synergistic agent that enhances the pro-inflammatory effects of SBRT while reducing its undesired effects (including fibrosis and immunosuppression). This study exploits the window of opportunity post-chemotherapy to advance the hypothesis that the addition of STAT3 inhibition in combination with SBRT will be safe and will enhance 2-year progression-free survival.

RECRUITINGMaximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of TTI-101 and SBRT
* The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the dose level immediately below the dose level at which 2 patients of a cohort (of 2 to 6 patients) experience dose-limiting toxicity during the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) evaluation period. * The final determination of the RP2D will be based on an overall evaluation of the totality of the available data observed in phase IB.
Time frame: Through completion of follow-up (estimated to be 2 years and 3 months)
Progression-free survival (PFS)
PFS is defined as the time from treatment initiation to documented disease progression or death from any cause. The 2-year PFS probability will be reported as a descriptive summary measure.
Time frame: 2 years
Overall survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from treatment initiation to death from any cause. The 2-year OS probability will be reported as a descriptive summary measure.
Time frame: 2 years
Pathologic response rate
* Pathologic response rate among patients who receive neoadjuvant TTI-101 in combination with SBRT and subsequently undergo surgical resection (including pCR and/or major pathologic response). * Pathologic complete response (pCR) is defined as the absence of any vital tumor tissue in the sampled pancreatic resection specimen. * Major pathologic response is defined as ≤ 10% residual viable tumor cells remaining in the surgical specimen after treatment.
Time frame: At the time of surgery (estimated to be 5 weeks)
R0 resection rate among patients who undergo surgical resection
R0 resection is defined as microscopic tumor clearance in the pancreatic resection specimen.
Time frame: At the time of surgery (estimated to be 5 weeks)
Frequency of adverse events
Graded according to NCI CTCAE v 5.0.
Time frame: From start of treatment through 90 days after last dose of TTI-101 (estimated to be 6 months)
