Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die It is not yet known if gemcitabine is more effective with or without exatecan mesylate in treating pancreatic cancer

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of gemcitabine alone to that of gemcitabine and exatecan mesylate in treating patients who have locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the overall survival of patients with chemotherapy-naive locally advanced or metastatic cancer of the exocrine pancreas treated with exatecan mesylate and gemcitabine versus gemcitabine alone
Compare the measures of clinical benefit in patients treated with these regimens
Compare the anti-tumor efficacy of these regimens in this patient population
Determine the safety profile of exatecan mesylate and gemcitabine in these patients

OUTLINE This is a randomized open-label multicenter study Patients are stratified according to performance status 60 vs 70-80 vs 90-100 extent of disease locally advanced vs metastatic and prior radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer yes or no Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive exatecan mesylate DX-8951f IV over 30 minutes immediately followed by gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8 Treatment repeats every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Arm II Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes once weekly for up to 7 weeks followed by one week of rest course 1 For all subsequent courses patients receive gemcitabine once weekly for 3 weeks followed by one week of rest Treatment repeats every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Patients are followed monthly

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 340 patients 170 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study within 18 months
