Brief Summary:
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ADH-1 when given together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin in treating patients with pancreatic or biliary tract cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and cannot be removed by surgery. ADH-1 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ADH-1 together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin may kill more tumor cells.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the toxicities and determine the recommended dose of ADH-1 given twice weekly for 3 weeks in combination with cisplatin and fixed-dose rate gemcitabine (gemcitabine hydrochloride) given on weeks 1 and 2 of the 3 week schedule for 3 cycles in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic or biliary tract adenocarcinomas.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate changes in the levels of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), E-selectin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and basic fibroblast growth factor (B-FGF) during therapy with ADH-1, cisplatin and gemcitabine.
II. Radiographic assessment of disease status after 3 cycles of chemotherapy with ADH-1, cisplatin and gemcitabine.
III. To evaluate progression-free and overall survival of patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic or biliary tract adenocarcinomas treated with ADH-1 given with cisplatin and fixed dose rate gemcitabine for 3 cycles. Patients with stable or responsive disease after 3 cycles will continue on maintenance cisplatin and fixed dose rate gemcitabine.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of ADH-1.
Patients receive ADH-1 intravenously (IV) over 20-80 minutes on days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, and 18, cisplatin IV and gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable or responsive disease may receive maintenance therapy with cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years.

Experimental: Treatment (ADH-1, cisplatin, gemcitabine hydrochloride)
Patients receive ADH-1 IV over 20-80 minutes on days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, and 18, cisplatin IV and gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable or responsive disease may receive maintenance therapy with cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride.

Primary Outcome Measures
:
- Recommended dose of ADH-1, defined as the highest dose tested which results in dose-limiting toxicities in no more than 1 of 6 evaluable patients based on the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 [ Time Frame: 21 days ]The incidence rates of adverse events will be described by dose level. The frequency of occurrence of overall toxicity, categorized by toxicity grades, will be described.
Secondary Outcome Measures
:
- Changes in the levels of ICAM-1, E-selectin, VEGF, soluble VEGFR and B-FGF [ Time Frame: After all patients complete cycle 1, about 2 years after initial patient enrolled ]Summarized using descriptive statistics
- Progression-free survival [ Time Frame: From the first date of therapy until the first notation of clinical progression, relapse or death from any cause, assessed up to 2 years ]Plotted following the method of Kaplan and Meier.
- Survival [ Time Frame: From the first date of therapy until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 2 years ]Plotted following the method of Kaplan and Meier.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must have adenocarcinoma of the pancreas or biliary tree (intrahepatic or extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder or ampulla of Vater) that is locally advanced, but non-resectable, metastatic or residual disease after attempted surgical resection
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2 or better
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of 2000 per mcL or higher
- Platelet count of 100,000 per mcL or higher
- Patients must have a serum creatinine that is at or below the upper limits of the institutional normal range OR a creatinine clearance of 60 mL per min or higher corrected for body surface area (BSA)
- The total bilirubin must be at or below 2.0 mg/dL in the absence of biliary obstruction; if the patient has biliary obstruction, biliary decompression will be required; either endoscopic placement of a biliary stent or percutaneous transhepatic drainage is acceptable; once biliary drainage has been established, institution of protocol therapy may proceed when the total bilirubin falls to 3.0 mg/dL or lower
- Patients need not have measurable disease for this study
- The patient must be aware of the neoplastic nature of his/her disease and willingly provide written, informed consent after being informed of the procedure to be followed, the experimental nature of the therapy, alternatives, potential benefits, side-effects, risks, and discomforts
- Women of reproductive potential must be non-pregnant and non-nursing and must agree to employ an effective barrier method of birth control throughout the study and for up to 6 months following treatment

Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients may not have received prior chemotherapy for metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas or biliary tract; prior adjuvant chemotherapy is acceptable provided that 6 months or longer has elapsed since completion of the prior therapy

- Uncontrolled inter-current illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection requiring intravenous antibiotics, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, or serious, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, that might jeopardize the ability of the patient to receive the chemotherapy program outlined in this protocol with reasonable safety
