Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Motexafin gadolinium may increase the effectiveness of radiation therapy by making tumor cells more sensitive to treatment

PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of radiation therapy plus motexafin gadolinium in treating patients with bile duct gallbladder or pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed surgically
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the safety and toxicity of motexafin gadolinium PCI-0120 when administered concurrently with radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced unresectable pancreatic or biliary tree tumors II Assess the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients III Assess tumor uptake of PCI-0120 by MRI signal characteristics in these patients IV Determine the maximum tolerated dose of PCI-0120 in these patients V Determine the objective response by radiologic criteria in patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE This is a multicenter dose-escalation study of motexafin gadolinium PCI-0120 Patients receive PCI-0120 IV over 15 minutes 3 times weekly concurrently with external beam radiotherapy EBRT 5 days a week for 55 weeks After completion of EBRT and PCI-0120 patients may undergo radiotherapy boost for 5 consecutive days Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of PCI-0120 until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity A total of 6-12 patients are treated at the recommended phase II dose The recommended phase II dose is defined as the dose immediately preceding the MTD Patients are followed at 4 weeks

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 18-21 patients will be accrued for this study
