| Brief Title † | A Phase I Study of Weekly Gemcitabine in Combination With Infusional Fluorodeoxyuridine and Oral Calcium Leucovorin in Adult Cancer Patients |
| Official Title † | A Phase I Study of Weekly Gemcitabine in Combination With Infusional Fluorodeoxyuridine and Oral Calcium Leucovorin in Adult Cancer Patients |
| Brief Summary | 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. |
| Detailed Description | 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). |
