Brief Summary: RATIONALE Tipifarnib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth and may make them more sensitive to radiation therapy Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Giving tipifarnib together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of tipifarnib when given together with radiation therapy in treating patients with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxic effects of tipifarnib when administered with radiotherapy in patients with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer

Secondary

Determine the 3-month clinical response in patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE This is a multicenter dose-escalation study of tipifarnib

Patients receive oral tipifarnib once or twice daily on weeks 1-8 Patients also undergo concurrent radiotherapy daily 5 days a week on weeks 2-8

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of tipifarnib until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity

Patients are followed at 1 3 and 6 months

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 8-18 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-15 months
