Summary
This study tests whether adding a drug called defactinib (a FAK inhibitor) to precise, high-dose radiation therapy can help control advanced pancreatic cancer better than radiation alone. About 42 people with locally advanced, inoperable pancreatic cancer will take part. The main goal is to see if the combination slows cancer growth or improves survival.
