Pancreatic carcinoma is considered among the most chemoresistant of human malignancies. The most commonly used cytotoxic single agents, 5-fluorouracil and 2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluorocytidine (gemcitabine), have objective response rates of less than 10% in large studies. Hypothesizing noncross resistance and a synergistic interaction between gemcitabine and cisplatin, early clinical studies have demonstrated significant activity with this combination in patients with several types of malignant disease. A Phase II study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of gemcitabine in combination with cisplatin in patients with locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic carcinoma based on these considerations.
