Background: F-NOX has been increasingly utilized in borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) due to the improved response rate compared to gemcitabine. However, prospective data remains limited, with the largest series being a 22 patient (pt) cooperative group trial (Alliance A021101), in which 14 pts had R0 resection. In this study, we evaluate neoadjuvant F-NOX followed by individualized chemoradiation (CRT) for BRPC. Methods: Pts ECOG PS 0-1 with biopsy-proven BRPC as defined by NCCN criteria (SMV/PV involvement with suitable flow, abutment of SMA < 180 degrees or of hepatic artery) were enrolled in a single institution, NCI-sponsored phase II study (NCT01591733). Pts received F-NOX for 8 cycles. If after chemotherapy, the tumor was radiographically resectable, pts received short course CRT in 5 (protons 25 GyE) or 10 fractions (photons 30 Gy) with capecitabine 825 mg/m2 bid. If the tumor was still abutting vasculature, pts received CRT to 50.4 Gy with a vascular boost to 58.8 Gy. The primary endpoint of the study was R0 resection rate. Results: 50 pts were enrolled from 8/2012 to 8/2016. One pt was ineligible (lung metastases) and 1 pt is still on treatment, thus 48 patients were evaluable for this analysis. Median age was 62y (46-74). Median tumor size was 37 mm (21-56). Tumor location was in the head of pancreas for 36 (75%) pts. Of the evaluable pts, 40 (83%) completed therapy. Reasons for not completing therapy included pt withdrawal (3), physician decision (3), unacceptable toxicity (1) and progression (1). Grade 3 or greater toxicity occurred in 21 (44%) pts, including diarrhea (6, 12%), febrile neutropenia (4, 8.5%), neutropenia (4, 8.5%), elevated AST/ALT (3, 6.2%), thrombocytopenia (2, 4.2%), anemia (2, 4.2%), elevated alkaline phosphatase (2, 4.2%). 27 (56%) had short course CRT, while 13 (27%) had long course CRT. In evaluable pts, R0 resection rate was 28/40 (58%). Conclusions: Preoperative F-NOX followed by individualized chemoradiation results in a high R0 resection rate. Final results including PFS outcomes on the entire cohort will be presented at the meeting. Clinical trial information: NCT01591733
