Pancreatic Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
Phase I trail will be conducted to evaluate the safety of M2ES in combination with gemcitabine in locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Detailed description
Phase I trail will be conducted to determine the MTD and safety of M2ES(administered intravenous infusion on Days 1,8,15,21of a 28-day cycle) in combination with gemcitabine (1000 m/m2). Gemcitabine will be administered as an intravenous infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle,at the same time determine the safety and efficiency of this combined regime.
Interventions
M2ES Dosage:7.5mg/m2
M2ES Dosage:15mg/m2
M2ES Dosage:30mg/m2
M2ES Dosage:45mg/m2
