RATIONALE: Perifosine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of perifosine in treating patients who have locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the activity of perifosine, in terms of objective response, in patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic cancer.

* Determine the response duration, progression-free survival, and overall survival of patients treated with this drug.

* Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral perifosine every 6 hours for a total of 6 doses and then once daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 3 years.
