A Phase 1 interventional study of gemcitabine and fluorodeoxyuridine in Neoplasms, sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI). Completed at 1 site in United States. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2008-03-04.
Sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI) · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical toxicities associated with administering sequential dFdC as a one hour infusion followed by a continuous infusion of FUdR over 24 hours with low dose oral LV weekly for three weeks out of four.
The MTD and biochemically active dose of FUDR as a 24-hour and gemcitabine as a 2-hour infusion will be determined first (Part A); if the biochemically active FUDR dose is less than the MTD, new patients will be entered to determine the maximum tolerated duration of FUDR infusion (Part B).
