Study Summary

<Research Hypothesis> The dynamics of immune cells by CCRT/Durvalumab will be uncovered. The combination of Durvalumab with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT/gemcitabine)) as neoaduvant treatment in resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer is feasible and efficacious.

  The combination of Durvalumab with cytotoxic chemotherapy (gemcitabine) as an adjuvant
  treatment is feasible and efficacious.

  &lt;Objectives&gt; To assess the effect of Neoadjuvant CCRT with Gemcitabine/Durvalumab followed by
  adjuvant Gemcitabine/Durvalumab in resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer

  Primary endpoint:

  2 year-DFSR (disease-free survival rate) Secondary endpoints

    -  Efficacy: 2 year-OSR (overall survival rate), disease-free survival, overall survival,
       overall response rate (RECIST 1.1, ir response) after neoadjuvant CCRT, disease control
       rateEORTC QLQ-C30, the number of immune cells (TIL, macrophage, etc) in resected
       pancreatic tissue

    -  Safety: toxicity (CTCAE V), irAE,

  Exploratory Objective(s):

    -  To evaluate baseline measures and changes of immune systems and regulations by
       neoadjuvant CCRT with gemcitabine/Durvalumab in peripheral blood and tumor tissues

    -  To collect and store DNA from blood (according to ethical procedures) for future
       exploratory research into genes/genetic variation that may influence response (ie,
       distribution, safety, tolerability and efficacy) to study treatments and or
       susceptibility to disease (optional).
