Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to

Find out the largest dose of sodium bicarbonate that can be given with gemcitabine

Determine if the combination of sodium bicarbonate and gemcitabine produces better control of pancreatic cancer than gemcitabine alone
Detailed Description: Gemcitabine will be administered as an intravenous drip over 30 minutes at a dose of 1000 mgm2 on days 1 8 and 15 of each cycle followed by a 7-day treatment rest period No treatment will be administered on the 4th week of the cycle Each cycle is 28 days long

Sodium bicarbonate is commercially available and supplied as tablets and water soluble powder It is stable in solid form and does not need refrigeration The sodium bicarbonate will be dispensed by the pharmacy in packets containing 13 the daily dose The patient will be asked to dissolve the powder in water 3 times per day and consume the dose over a period of about 30 minutes

Patients will be required to refrain from use of additional buffering agents antacids including sodium bicarbonate CaCO3 and aluminum hydroxide
