Phase I Trial of Gemcitabine With TheraSphere® (Yttrium-90) in Patients With Hepatic Tumors of Pancreatobiliary Origin
Patients with liver predominant cholangiocarcinoma or pancreatic cancer will be considered
for the trial. The patients wre being treated in groups of thre patients. Each three
patients receive a pre-specified dose of gemcitabine with full dose radioembolization using
theraspheres. If no significant side effects are observed then three additional three

highest dose of gemcitabine that can be safely combined with theraspheres.

The maximum tolerated dose of gemcitabine when given in combination with therasphere
Patients will receive full dose therasphere. The gemcitabine dose will start out low and the dose will increase after first 3 patients if no significant side effects are observed.
