Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of gemcitabine given as a continuous infusion in treating patients who have advanced metastatic cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the maximum tolerated dose of continuous infusion gemcitabine in patients with metastatic malignancies
Determine the toxicity profile of this drug in these patients

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study

Patients on dose levels 1-5 receive gemcitabine IV continuously over 72 hours on week 1 Patients on dose levels 6 and 7 receive gemcitabine IV continuously over 72 hours on weeks 1-3 Courses repeat every 2 weeks for patients on dose levels 1-5 and every 4 weeks for patients on dose levels 6 and 7 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of gemcitabine until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 3 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 27 patients will be accrued for this study
