Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas;cancer which is unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic.

Must have evidence of disease (clinical or radiological). Male or female, 18 years or older. Patients may have received prior radiation treatment for management of local disease providing that disease progression has been documented.
