Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of VCN-01 either administered alone or in combination with Abraxane®/Gemcitabine, and to determine the recommended phase II dose of VCN-01 alone or in combination with Abraxane®/Gemcitabine.

Detailed description

The study consists of three parts: * Part I is a dose escalation study to determine the safety and tolerability of a single intravenous injection of VCN-01 alone * In Part II the safety and tolerability of the two highest VCN-01 tolerable doses from part I will be evaluated in combination with Abraxane®/Gemcitabine. * In Part III the safety and tolerability of the two highest VCN-01 tolerable doses from part I will be evaluated in combination with Abraxane®/Gemcitabine in a delayed schedule compared with Part II.
