Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Clinical stage IV, according to TNM 8th ed. 2. Patients who have previously received chemotherapy or radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer. 3. Participation in another clinical trial with any investigational agents within 30 days prior to study screening. 4. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to any agent used in the study. 5. Serious concomitant systemic disorders incompatible with the study (at discretion of the investigator); 6. Patient already treated on other Losartan dosages than those prescribed by protocol or treated on other Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARB) therapy for hypertension or renal protection (with diabetes) at the time of enrolment; 7. Baseline hypotension, defined as systolic BP lower than 100 mmHg on two readings obtained on two separated days prior to study enrolment. 8.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Step A: To assess the safety of GEM-Nab-Paclitaxel and Losartan association followed by stereotactic radiation. Step B: To assess the activity, in terms of resectability rate, of the study treatment.;Secondary Objective: Margin-negative resection rate (R0), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) blood biomarkers response, and safety and quality of life..;Primary end point(s): -Step A: Number of participants discontinuing study treatment due to treatment related G=3 AEs. Toxicity assessments will be done using the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v 5.0). -Step B: Rate of patients undergoing surgery on total patient population. Resectability will be determined by Multidisciplinary team according.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 40 months
