Trial Information

A Phase I Study of Weekly Gemcitabine in Combination With Infusional Fluorodeoxyuridine and Oral Calcium Leucovorin in Adult Cancer Patients


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).
