简要总结

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Anticoagulants, such as dalteparin, may help prevent blood clots from forming in patients being treated with gemcitabine for pancreatic cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well gemcitabine works with or without dalteparin in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare the incidence of venous thromboembolism in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with gemcitabine hydrochloride and dalteparin versus gemcitabine hydrochloride alone.

Secondary

  • Compare the survival benefit, in terms of increased (from 70% to 85%) survival at 12 weeks, of patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the toxicity of these regimens.
  • Compare the overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the time to disease progression in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Determine the effect of gemcitabine hydrochloride and dalteparin on serological markers of thromboangiogenesis.

  • Measurable or evaluable disease
  • No clinical evidence of active venous thromboembolism
  • PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
  • Karnofsky performance status (PS) 60-100% OR WHO PS 0-2
  • Life expectancy > 12 weeks
  • Absolute neutrophil count > 2,000/mm³
  • WBC > 3,000/mm³

  • No history of other advanced malignancy
  • No gross hematuria
  • No melaena or gross evidence of gastrointestinal bleeding (other than piles)
  • No requirement for a central line
  • No other significant medial or psychiatric illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude study participation
