PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, (gemcitabine [gemcitabine hydrochloride], leucovorin [leucovorin calcium], fluorouracil [5-FU]) with or without oregovomab, followed by hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) concurrently with nelfinavir (nelfinavir mesylate) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that is cancer antigen (CA)125 positive (>= 10) or CA125 negative (< 10).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, (gemcitabine, leucovorin, 5-FU) with or without oregovomab, followed by SRT concurrently with nelfinavir in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that is CA125 positive (>= 10) or CA125 negative (< 10).
II. To assess the cellular and humoral immune responses to active immunotherapy with oregovomab/monoclonal antibody in patients with pancreas cancer with CA125 level greater than 10 undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate tumor and organ motion with 4-dimensional (4D) computed tomography (CT) and respiratory gating system.
II. To evaluate the effect of tumor/organ motion on the dosimetry, local control and survival.
III. To evaluate inter- and intra-fractional target motion with Calypso system.
OUTLINE:
CHEMOTHERAPY: Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride intravenously (IV), leucovorin calcium IV over 30 minutes, and fluorouracil IV over 24 hours on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 7 courses.
IMMUNOTHERAPY: Patients with CA125 level >= 10 receive oregovomab IV over 15-30 minutes on day 15. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 3 courses (weeks 1, 4, 7) and post- radiation therapy for 1 course (week 14). Patients may receive an additional 3 courses concurrently with chemotherapy upon recovery from surgery based on CA125 level. Patients also receive nelfinavir mesylate orally (PO) twice daily (BID) for 5 weeks beginning on day 15 of week 9.
STEREOTACTIC RADIATION THERAPY: Beginning in week 11, patients undergo SBRT in 5 fractions over 5 consecutive days. Upon completion of radiation therapy, patients resume nelfinavir mesylate for 14 days (week 12-13). Patients without metastasis and with resectable disease undergo surgery in week 17-18.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year, every 4 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months thereafter.

- Number of Participants With Progressive Disease, [ Time Frame: Up to 4 months ]Rate of progressive disease defined as at least a 25% increase in the longest diameter of a lesion, taking as reference the longest diameter recorded since the treatment started. An exact one-sided 90% confidence interval will be constructed round the progressive disease rate.
- Distant Failure-free Survival [ Time Frame: Date of administration study drug to the date of first appearance of tumor lesions by imaging, or death, assessed up to 5 years ]Analyzed using Kaplan-Meier plots, medians and ranges.
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Date of first of study drug to the date of death, assessed up to 5 years ]Analyzed using Kaplan-Meier plots, medians and ranges.
- Surgical Complete Resection (Negative Margin) Rate [ Time Frame: Up to week 18 ]The percentage of patients who will undergo R0 resection
- Tumor Response Rate, Evaluated on the Pathology Specimen [ Time Frame: Up to week 18 ]The percentage of patients responding will be summarized using frequencies and percentages. Define poor, intermediate and good response as follows: Score 1-3: poor response to neoadjuvant therapy (still have majority of cancer at the time of surgery) Score 4-6: intermediate response to neoadjuvant therapy (still have moderate amount of cancer at the time of surgery) Score 7-9: good response to neoadjuvant therapy (have minimal amount of residual cancer at the time of surgery)
- Number of Participants With CA-125-Specific T-cell Signal. [ Time Frame: Baseline to up to week 12 ]The percentage of patients responding will be summarized using frequencies and percentages.
