Phase I-II Study of Gemcitabine and Fluorouracil as a Continuous Infusion in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer

Abstract

The MTD of gemcitabine when combined with 5-FU via PVI on this schedule was 1,000 mg/m2/ wk; however, on the basis of administered dose-intensity, the recommended dose for additional investigation is 900 mg/m2. This combination chemotherapy regimen was well tolerated and showed promising antitumor activity in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
