Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response rate and time to progression in patients with advanced adenocarcinoma of the pancreas who are treated with ISIS 2503. II. Determine the duration of response in these patients receiving this regimen. III. Characterize the safety profile of ISIS 2503 at the recommended phase II dose and schedule in these patients.
