Brief summary
This study assesses the maximum tolerated dose, overall safety and antitumor activity of SU011248 in combination with gemcitabine in patients with advanced solid tumors
Interventions
Dose finding study using SU011248 (sunitinib) daily by oral capsule in 4/2 (administered for 4 out of every 6 weeks) or 2/1 (administered for 2 out of every 3 weeks) schedule with gemcitabine administered on Days 1, 8, 22 and 29 on Schedule 4/2 and Days 1 and 8 on Schedule 2/1 until progression or unacceptable toxicity
