Brief Summary:
* The combination of gemcitabine and HDIVC is safe and may favorably change the clinical course for an individual patient.
* The combination of gemcitabine and HDIVC is synergistic in anti-tumor effect as seen in preclinical models, where HDIVC creates a pro-oxidative effect that adds to the anti-tumor effect of gemcitabine.
* The combination of gemcitabine and HDIVC may improve Progression Free Survival (PFS).
* The dosage schema of 1.2 g /kg bolus infusion followed by lower dose of 0.3 g / kg infusion may create sustained elevation in Vitamin C plasma levels for increased cytotoxic effect.
* The addition of HDIVC \& oral supplementation of Vitamin C to standard treatment with gemcitabine may improve quality of life for patients with comparison to prior to treatment start of this protocol.
* CA 19-9 and inflammatory markers may show trends for patients in this trial.
