The primary objective of this study was to determine the maximum-tolerated dose of cisplatin that could be added to full-dose gemcitabine and radiation therapy (RT) in patients with pancreatic cancer.Patients and Methods Nineteen patients were treated. Gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m(2) was administered over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle. Cisplatin followed gemcitabine on days 1 and 15. The initial dose level of cisplatin was 30 mg/m(2), escalated to a targeted dose of 50 mg/m(2) using Time-to-Event Continual Reassessment Method. RT was initiated on cycle 1, day 1, in 2.4 Gy fractions to a total dose of 36 Gy. A second cycle of chemotherapy was planned following a 1-week rest.Results Four of eight patients experienced acute dose limiting toxicity at the 50 mg/m(2) cisplatin dose level. Patients treated at 30 and 40 mg/m(2) cisplatin dose level tolerated therapy without dose-limiting toxicity, Median survival was 10.7 months (95% Cl, 5.4 to 18.2) for all patients, and 12.9 months (95% Cl, 7.4 to 21.2) for those without metastasis.Conclusion Cisplatin at doses up to 40 mg/m(2) may be safely added to full-dose gemcitabine and conformal RT. The Time-to-Event Continual Reassessment Method trial design allowed rapid completion of the study and confidence in the conclusion about the maximum tolerated dose, but accrued more patients to a dose level above the maximum tolerated dose than the typical phase I design. Local and systemic disease control and survival in this study cohort supports further investigation of gemcitabine-based RT and combination chemotherapy in this disease.
