Brief Summary: RATIONALE Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth Drugs used in chemotherapy such as gemcitabine work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Giving imatinib mesylate together with gemcitabine may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE This phase III trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving imatinib mesylate together with gemcitabine and to see how well they work in treating patients with locally advanced metastatic or recurrent pancreatic cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the maximum tolerated dose of imatinib mesylate and gemcitabine hydrochloride in patients with locally advanced metastatic or recurrent pancreatic cancer
Determine the clinical response rate in patients treated with this regimen
Determine the 6-month and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen

Secondary

Determine the toxicity profile of this regimen in these patients
Correlate response with expression of platelet-derived growth factor PDGF and PDGF receptor in tumor tissue from patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE This is a phase I dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study

Phase I Patients receive oral imatinib mesylate once daily on days 1-14 and gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8 Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Cohorts of 3-5 patients receive escalating doses of imatinib mesylate and gemcitabine hydrochloride until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 5 or 3 of 5 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity

NOTE The first cohort receives gemcitabine hydrochloride on days 1 8 and 15

Phase II Patients receive imatinib mesylate and gemcitabine hydrochloride at the MTD determined in phase I in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

After completion of study treatment patients are followed periodically

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 43 patients will be accrued for this study
