|---|---|---|
| Duration of Response | time of response to progressive disease | For responders, the minimum and maximum of the duration of complete response, duration of partial response, and duration of overall response were summarized, and the median of response duration and its 95% confidence interval were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier estimation. |
| Time to Progressive Disease | baseline to measured progressive disease | Time from study enrollment to first date of disease progression. Time to disease progression was censored at date of death if death was due to other cause. The minimum and maximum of this parameter were summarized, and the median time to progression and its 95% confidence interval were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier estimation. |

Pre-assignment details
At Step 1, 6 participants each were assigned at Dose Level 1 (gemcitabine:1000 mg/ m2) and Dose Level 2 (gemcitabine:1250 mg/ m2) to determine the recommended dose for Step 2. At Step 2, an additional 56 participants received the recommended dose (Dose Level 2).
