A phase I/II multicentric trial of gemcitabine and epirubicin in patients with advanced pancreatic carcinoma

2006

Potential synergistic interaction between gemcitabine (GEM) and epirubicin (EPI) in pancreatic cancer have been described previously. The maximum-tolerated dose in this trial was GEM 1000 mg m(-2) and EPI 45 mg m(-2). Median time to progression was 5.1 months and median survival time 7.4 months. This combination appears well tolerated and shows promising clinical activity.
