Brief Summary: RATIONALE 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 Anticoagulants such as dalteparin may help prevent blood clots from forming in patients being treated with gemcitabine for pancreatic cancer

PURPOSE This randomized phase II trial is studying how well gemcitabine works with or without dalteparin in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Compare the incidence of venous thromboembolism in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with gemcitabine hydrochloride and dalteparin versus gemcitabine hydrochloride alone

Secondary

Compare the survival benefit in terms of increased from 70 to 85 survival at 12 weeks of patients treated with these regimens
Compare the toxicity of these regimens
Compare the overall survival of patients treated with these regimens
Compare the time to disease progression in patients treated with these regimens
Determine the effect of gemcitabine hydrochloride and dalteparin on serological markers of thromboangiogenesis

OUTLINE This is a multicenter randomized study Patients are stratified according to disease progression locally advanced vs metastatic and Karnofsky performance status 80 vs 80 Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes once weekly in weeks 1-7 and 9-11
Arm II Patients receive low molecular weight dalteparin subcutaneously once daily in weeks 1-12 Patients also receive gemcitabine hydrochloride as in arm I

Blood samples are acquired at baseline for analysis of circulating tissue factor and vascular endothelial growth factor

After completion of study treatment patients are followed periodically

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 120 patients will be accrued for this study
