  • No prior chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer including no prior "radiosensitizing" chemotherapy
  • Patients are candidates to receive gemcitabine as first line treatment for adenocarcinoma of the pancreas
  • Age > 18 years
  • Karnofsky Performance Score of less than or equal to 60
  • Patients must be recovered from the clinically significant effects of any prior surgery or prior radiotherapy
  • Adequate bone marrow, hepatic and renal function as evidenced by:

  • Serum creatinine < 2.0 mg/dL;
  • ANC > 1.5 x 109/L;
  • Platelet count > 100 x 109/L,
  • Hgb > 9.0 g/dL
  • Female patients of childbearing potential as well as fertile men and their partners who agree to use an effective form of contraception during the study and for 90 days following the last dose of study medication (an effective form of contraception is an oral contraceptive or a double barrier method)
  • Patients or their legal representatives must be able to read, understand and provide written informed consent to participate in the trial.
