Study Overview

Brief Summary

Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase II trial is studying how well dasatinib works in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Determine the overall survival, including median survival, of patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas treated with dasatinib.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the effects of this drug on quantities of circulating tumor cells in these patients.

II. Determine the time to progression in patients treated with this drug. III. Determine pre- and post-drug fat-free mass and gait speed in patients treated with this drug.
