Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Locally advanced, unresectable, non-metastatic, histologically or cytologically proven pancreatic adenocarcinoma (locoregional lymph nodes will not be considered metastases). No prior cancer related surgical intervention except for exploratory or palliative surgery is allowed. 2. No prior chemo- or radiotherapy, investigational, endocrine or biological therapy 3. Male or female subjects age >= 18 years 4. ECOG performance status 12 weeks 6. Signed and dated informed consent form 7. Patient able to participate, communicate well with the investigator and willing to give informed consent and comply with the study restrictions 8. Normal 12-lead ECG or only clinically insignificant abnormalities in the judgment of the investigator 9. Female patients of child-bearing potential will be required to use an effective method of birth control for the duration of the study to prevent pregnancy. Acceptable methods include implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine devices, sexual abstinence or sterilization (including vasectomy of partner). 10. Laboratory parameters (obtained within the screening period): - neutrophils >= 1.5x10 9/L - platelets >= 100 x10 9/L - Hgb >= 9 g/dL) - total bilirubin 45 ml/min) Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Any unrelated illness, e.g., active infection, inflammation, medical condition or laboratory abnormalities, which in the judgment of the investigator might significantly affect the patient’s study participation 5.
