Purpose: To determine the maximum tolerated dose of upper abdominal low-dose fractionated radiotherapy (< 1.0 Gy per fraction) given in combination with, and as a chemopotentiator for, gemcitabine. Methods and Materials: Gemcitabine was given at 1,250 mg/m(2) at 10 mg/m(2)/min on Days 1 and 8 of a 3-week cycle. Low-dose fractionated radiotherapy was tested at two dose levels: 60 cGy per fraction and 70 cGy per fraction. Radiotherapy was given b.i.d. on Days 1, 2, 8, and 9. Four cycles were planned. Results: Twenty-seven patients have been put on study. Ten patients have been entered in Phase I: 6 with metastatic/recurrent pancreatic carcinoma and 4 with unresectable pancreatic/small bowel carcinoma. Two of four patients at Dose Level 2 experienced dose-limiting toxicity. The overall radiographic response was 30%, and median survival was 11 months (range, 4-37 months). Conclusion: Low-dose fractionated radiotherapy to the upper abdomen is well tolerated at 60 cGy per fraction when combined with gemcitabine. Phase II evaluation is ongoing.(c) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
